- Composite of All-Cause Mortality or Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (IMV) Through Day 29 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 29 ]The composite of all-cause mortality or IMV is the combined endpoint of the percentage of participants who die or initiate on IMV through Day 29.
- All-Cause Mortality Through Day 29 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 29 ]The percentage of participants who die through Day 29 will be assessed.
- Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Through Day 29 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 29 ]The percentage of participants who initiate on IMV through Day 29 will be assessed.
- Time to Recovery [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 29 ]Time to recovery is the time from first dose to recovery. Recovery is defined as the first day on which the participant satisfies one of the following three categories from the 8-point ordinal scale: 1) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities; 2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care (other than per-protocol RDV/saline as placebo administration).
- Clinical Status Assessed by an 8-Point Ordinal Scale on Day 15 [ Time Frame: Day 15 ]Clinical status is derived from death, hospital discharge, and the ordinal scale. Each day, the worst (highest) score from the previous day will be recorded. The Ordinal scale is as follows: 1. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities; 2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care (other than per-protocol RDV/saline as placebo administration); 4. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care for COVID-19-specific medical care (other than per-protocol RDV administration); 5. Hospitalized, supplemental oxygen; 6. Hospitalized, on noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices; 7. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); and 8. Death. Higher scores indicate worst clinical status.
- Clinical Status Assessed by an 8-Point Ordinal Scale on Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Clinical status is derived from death, hospital discharge, and the ordinal scale. Each day, the worst (highest) score from the previous day will be recorded. The Ordinal scale is as follows: 1. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities; 2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care (other than per-protocol RDV/saline as placebo administration); 4. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care for COVID-19-specific medical care (other than per-protocol RDV administration); 5. Hospitalized, supplemental oxygen; 6. Hospitalized, on noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices; 7. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; and 8. Death. Higher scores indicate worst clinical status.
- Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)-Free Days (Among Those Without End-Stage Kidney Disease [ESKD] at Randomization) Through Day 29 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 29 ]
- Recovery Through Day 29 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 29 ]Recovery is defined as the participant satisfying one of the following three categories from the 8-point ordinal scale: 1) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities; 2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care (other than per-protocol RDV/saline as placebo administration).
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: First dose date up to last dose date (Maximum: Day 5) plus 30 days ]
- Percentage of Participants who Permanently Discontinue Investigational Drug due to Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: First dose date up to last dose date (Maximum: Day 5) plus 30 days ]
