Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent, or with a legal representative who can provide informed consent, or enrolled under International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E6(R2) 4.8.15 emergency use provisions as deemed necessary by the investigator (age ≥ 18), or willing and able to provide assent (age ≥ 12 to < 18, where locally and nationally approved) prior to performing study procedures
  • Aged ≥ 18 years (at all sites), or aged ≥ 12 and < 18 years of age weighing ≥ 40 kg (where permitted according to local law and approved nationally and by the relevant institutional review board (IRB) or independent ethics committee (IEC))
  • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test ≤ 4 days before randomization
  • Currently hospitalized
  • Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤ 94% or requiring supplemental oxygen at screening

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participation in any other clinical trial of an experimental treatment for COVID-19
  • Concurrent treatment with other agents with actual or possible direct acting antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 is prohibited < 24 hours prior to study drug dosing
  • Evidence of multiorgan failure
  • Mechanically ventilated [including veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)] ≥ 5 days, or any duration of veno-arterial (V-A) ECMO.
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 5 X upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Creatinine clearance < 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula for participants ≥ 18 years of age {Cockcroft 1976} and Schwartz Formula for participants < 18 years of age

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Percentage of Participants in Each Clinical Status Category as Assessed by a 7-Point Ordinal Scale on Day 14

    Time frame: Day 14

    Clinical status was derived from death, hospital discharge, and the ordinal scale as follows: score of "1" was used for all days on or after the date of death; score of "7" was used for all days on or after discharged alive date; last assessment carried forward for any missing values.The scale is as follows: 1. Death; 2. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 3. Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4. Hospitalized, requiring low flow supplemental oxygen; 5. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 6. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer required ongoing medical care (other than per protocol remdesivir administration); 7. Not hospitalized. The odds ratio represents the odds of improvement in the ordinal scale for the Remdesivir for 10 days group vs the Remdesivir for 5 days group.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part A: Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: First dose date up to last dose date (maximum: 10 days) plus 30 days

    Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) were defined as AEs with onset dates on or after the study treatment start date and no later than 30 days after the permanent discontinuation of the study treatment and/or the AEs that led to premature discontinuation of study treatment.
