Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Clinical Response Rate
Clinical Response Rate is calculated as the number of trial subjects with effective treatment over the total number of subjects multiplied by 100. It is calculated in each study group. Measured in percents. The outcome is estimated among randomized subjects completed clinical study with the protocol requirements (per protocol population (PPP)). Clinical response is evaluated as effective treatment if: all signs and symptoms of COVID19 are resolved or improved with no worsening or appearance of new signs and symptoms; there is no requirement for additional antiviral of antibacterial therapy; chest roentgenograms (CT scans) are improved. The outcome is assessed in day 21 from the start of Study Drug treatment (visits 13).

Study Arms (2)
Efesovir
EXPERIMENTALThe patients of experimental arm take study drug Efesovir twice a day as an antiviral therapy in dose 0.125 ml / kg. Daily dose of Efesovir: 0.250 ml / kg. Duration of treatment is 5 - 10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
Remdesivir
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe patients are treated with the antiviral drug "Remdesivir" in dose 200 mg intravenously on the 1st day, then by 100 mg intravenously daily for 5 - 10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
Interventions
Antiviral therapy of COVID19 with Efesovir oral solution in dose 0.125 ml / kg two times per day. Duration of treatment is 5 - 10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
