Study characteristics

China

Non-randomized clinical trial

Primary data collection

80

laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients

56 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were screened, of which 35 were eligible for the FPV arm of the study. A total of 91 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients who had started treatment with LPV/RTV between 24 January and 30 January 2020 were screened, of which 45 were eligible for the control arm of this study.

Results

Virus clearance

0

A multivariate Cox regression model was used to explore the independent factors affecting viral clearance. The time of viral clearance was set as the TIME variable, viral clearance (0 = no, 1 = yes) was set as the status, and the variables that were significant (P < 0.10) in the univariate Cox analysis or were professionally significant (including age, and whether underlying diseases were present or not) were set as independent variable
