Ensitrelvir Demonstrates Potent Antiviral Efficacy Comparable to Nirmatrelvir in Early COVID-19: Insights from the PLATCOV Trial

The PLATCOV trial identifies ensitrelvir as a highly effective oral antiviral, achieving rapid SARS-CoV-2 clearance comparable to ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir. This phase 2 adaptive trial suggests ensitrelvir is a viable alternative for outpatient management, potentially overcoming limitations associated with ritonavir-boosted regimens.
