Said statistical power (45%) is acceptable for exploratory stages of the studies aimed to select the 
duration for endpoint monitoring and to select the endpoint at the second (confirming) stage. 
In case change of the planned endpoints, separate adjustment will be made for the multiplicity of 
comparisons and the required number will be recalculated at the second stage. 
The total planned number of patients before the completion of the first stage will be 100 patients 
in each of the arms. 
The estimated calculation until the data of the first stage are obtained is as follows. Given the 
available data from Chinese researchers, 15% superiority of favipiravir therapy over standard 
therapy without favipiravir is allowed in relation to the rate of improvement by 2 or more 
categories on categorical scale by day 10 of treatment. The adopted higher response to standard 
therapy of 70% is associated with a longer duration relative to the Chinese study (10 days instead 
of 7 days). 
An RCT enrolling patients within 12 days of symptom onset found that favipiravir was superior to 
arbidol in terms of the clinical recovery rate at day 7 in patients with mild illness (62 [56%] of 111 with 
arbidol vs 70 [71%] of 98 with favipiravir), but not in those with critical illness (0 vs 1 [6%]). (Chen C. 
Huang J. Cheng Z. et al. Favipiravir versus arbidol for COVID-19: a randomized clinical trial. medRxiv. 
2020; (published online April 15.) (preprint).

Certified statistical software with validated algorithms is used to perform statistical analyses and 
to ensure proper documenting (StatSoft Statistica 10.0., IBM SPSS Statistics 22). 
Descriptive statistics are provided for all efficacy and safety indicators collected during the study. 
Continuous (quantitative) data are presented using the number of observations, arithmetic mean 
value, confidence interval (CI) 95% for mean, standard (rms) deviation, median, interquartile span 
(25th and 75th centiles), minimum and maximum. 
Ordinal, categorical and qualitative data are presented as absolute frequencies (number of 
observations), relative frequencies (percent) and 95% CI (unless otherwise stated). 
The check for normality of distribution is carried out by one of the generally accepted methods 
(Shapiro-Wilk test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). For non-Gaussian distributions, non-parametric 
methods will be used to compare efficacy and safety indicators. 
Significance levels and confidence intervals are calculated as bilateral, the statistical significance 
of differences is two-sided by default and refers to significance level 0.05 (unless specified 
otherwise). 
Analysis of demographics and other source data 
Demographic data (age, sex) and baseline condition data are presented along with summaries in 
the form of absolute frequencies (number of observations), relative frequencies (percent), or using 
the arithmetic mean, confidence interval (CI) 95% for mean, standard deviation, median, 
interquartile span (25th and 75th centiles), minimum and maximum, depending on the type of 
variable. 
To test the study group homogeneity hypothesis, at the baseline zero hypotheses (no differences 
between groups) are tested with Student's t-test (for interval measures with normal distribution in 
the study population), Mann-Whitney's test (for ordinary measures or for interval measures with 
distribution different from normal) or Fisher's exact test and χ2 test (for qualitative indicators). 
If statistically significant differences between study arms are found, the magnitude of differences 
is estimated using confidence intervals. 
Analysis of primary efficacy parameter 
Primary efficacy endpoints: 
One of the primary efficacy parameters is the time (in days) to improvement of patient's clinical 
status according to the categorical ordinal scale of clinical improvement. 
 
Time (in days) to improvement in clinical status on a categorical ordinal scale of clinical 
improvement. 
To compare the primary efficacy indicator between arms, the Student's t-test for independent 
samples is used. If the necessary assumptions about the normality of distribution of this indicator 
are not met, the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test will be used. Also, the Kaplan-Meier 
technique and compilation survival tables can be used as descriptive methods for studying this 
efficiency parameter. Gehan-Wilcoxon test, Cox-Mentel test or Log-Rank test can be used to 
compare the time (in days) to improve the clinical status of the patient between the study groups.

The proof of the superiority hypothesis is the establishment of a statistically significant time 
difference (in days) before patient's clinical status improvement between the Areplivir arm and the 
standard therapy arm. 
The next primary efficacy parameter is the percentage of patients who achieved an improvement 
in clinical status according to the categorical ordinal scale of clinical improvement by 2 or more 
categories at Visit 3. 
 
Rate of clinical status improvement by categorical ordinal scale of clinical status improvement 
by 2 or more categories at Visit 3. 
For the analysis of this parameter, an intergroup comparison of percentages is used using a 
two-sided version of the Fischer's exact test (or a two-sided version of the χ2 (chi-square) test, if 
all the expected values in the cells of the contingency table for this analysis are 5 or more). The 
percentage of patients who achieved improvement in clinical status on a categorical ordinal clinical 
improvement scale by 2 or more categories at Visit 3 is presented with a two-sided 95% confidence 
interval by treatment arm. Hypothesis testing is performed at a 5% significance level. The 
difference in proportion between treatment arms and the 95% bilateral confidence interval for the 
difference in proportion calculated by Newcomb-Wilson technique is presented. 
The proof of the hypothesis of superiority of Areplivir film-coated tablets (PROMOMED RUS 
LLC, Russia) is the establishment of a statistically significant difference in the proportions of 
patients who achieved an improvement in clinical status according to the categorical ordinal scale 
of clinical improvement by 2 or more categories at Visit 3, between Areplivir arm and standard 
therapy arm. 
Analysis of the primary efficacy parameter is performed in the ITT population (main analysis), 
and in the PP population (additional analysis). A summary of all efficacy indicators is provided. 
Analysis of secondary efficacy parameters 
The following efficacy parameters in the protocol are represented by qualitative values: 
 
Percentage of patients with elimination * COVID-19 according to PCR analysis at Visit 3. 
 
Percentage of patients transferred to intensive care unit. 
 
Percentage of cases with non-invasive lung ventilation. 
 
Percentage of cases with mechanical lung ventilation. 
 
Incidence of fatal cases. 
 
Assessment of lung injury according to CT data at Visits 4, 5 and 6.** 
* Virus elimination is defined as two negative laboratory tests for SARS-CoV-2 RNA obtained at intervals of 24 
hours. 
**An "empirical" visual scale will be used to estimate changes in lung involvement from CT data. 
For the analysis of these parameters, an intergroup comparison of shares is used using a two- sided 
version of the Fischer's exact test (or a two-sided version of the χ2 (chi-square) test, if all the 
expected values in the cells of the contingency table for this analysis are 5 or more). 
The protocol also includes the following endpoint: 


without antipyretic medication). 
For the secondary efficacy parameter "time (in days) to fever disappearance (body temperature < 
37.2 °C for 3 consecutive days without antipyretic drugs), a comparison between arms is made 
using the Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney test (depending on the nature of the distribution 
of quantitative indicators). Also, Kaplan-Meier technique and the construction of survival tables 
can be used as descriptive methods of study. The Gehan-Wilcoxon test, the Cox-Mentel test or 
the Log-Rank test can be used to compare the time (in days) to the disappearance of fever in the 
study arms. 
Analysis of secondary efficacy parameters is performed in the ITT population (main analysis), and 
in the PP population (additional analysis). 
In case of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome and the need to switch patient to 
mechanical ventilation, the investigational drug is canceled, but the patient is not withdrawn from 
the study. Patients are under follow-up until Visit 6, the data are taken into account to assess 
efficacy in the ITT population. 
Safety Analysis 
Safety criteria 
Safety assessment includes the following parameters: 
 Total number of adverse events (AEs) stratified by severity and incidence; 
 Incidence of adverse drug reactions; 
 Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) associated with the use of the study 
drug/standard therapy; 
 Percentage of patients with at least one AE; 
 Percentage of patients who discontinuation treatment due to AE. 
Cross-group comparisons are performed for all safety indicators. The comparison of groups on 
frequency indicators is carried out using the Fischer's exact test or the χ2 (chi-square) test, 
depending on the expected value in the cells of contingency table. For quantitative laboratory 
results, comparisons between groups at relevant visits are made using the Student’s t-test or the 
Mann-Whitney test (depending on the nature of the distribution of quantitative indicators). 
For analysis of all safety parameters the safety population was used. 
In case of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome and the need to switch patient to 
mechanical ventilation, the investigational drug is canceled, but the patient is not withdrawn from 
the study. Patients are under follow-up until Visit 6, the data are taken into account to assess 
efficacy in the ITT population. 
Interim analysis 
In the first stage, 40 patients were included in each group (study arm). Given 40 patients in each 
of the study arms, the sensitivity of the study to confirm 15% superiority by incidence, supposing 
the expected response 80% in the test drug arm, will exceed 45%.

Said statistical power (45%) is acceptable for exploratory stages of the studies aimed to select the 
duration for endpoint monitoring and to select the endpoint at the second (confirming) stage. 
In case change of the planned endpoints, separate adjustment will be made for the multiplicity of 
comparisons and the required number will be recalculated at the second stage. 
Significance level used in the clinical study 
Significance levels and confidence intervals are calculated as bilateral, the statistical significance 
of differences is two-sided by default and refers to significance level 0.05 (unless specified 
otherwise). 
Stopping criteria for the clinical study 
This protocol does not contain any statistical criteria for stopping the clinical study. 
Accounting for missing data, data not to be analyzed and questionable data 
In the case of for missing data, data not to be analyzed and questionable data, appropriate statistical 
analysis methods are applied. Patients who will not be able to complete the course of therapy 
according to the protocol are included in the analysis of the main endpoint using the last 
observation carried forward (LOCF) method. This means that measures taken as criteria for 
efficacy will be assessed for such patients at the time of dropping out of the study. 
Procedures for reporting any deviations from the original statistical plan 
All deviations from the final version of the statistical analysis plan will be described and 
substantiated in the final clinical study report. 
Population analysis 
The statistical analysis includes the following patient populations: 
1. Safety population: patients who have received at least one dose of the study drug and for whom 
there is an assessment of condition and/or AE for at least one time point after administration. 
2. Population of all patients included in the study (Intent-to-treat, ITT): patients who received 
at least one dose of the drug in the study and for whom there is data for at least one visit after 
the baseline (Visit 0). 
3. Population    of    patients    who    completed    the    study    as     per     the     Protocol  (Per 
protocol, PP): patients who have completed the study as per the Study Protocol. 
In case of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome and the  need  to  switch  patient to 
mechanical ventilation, the investigational drug is canceled, but the patient is not withdrawn
