The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and tolerability of obeldesivir (ODV) in children and adolescents with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The primary objectives are to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of ODV in pediatric participants with COVID-19.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |

Experimental: Obeldesivir (ODV)
Participants will receive ODV for 5 days. The ODV dose to be administered in each cohort based on age and weight as follows:
|
Drug: Obeldesivir
Tablet administered orally with or without food
Other Name: GS-5245 |
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: AUC0-12 of Obeldesivir (ODV) Metabolite, GS-441524 [ Time Frame: Cohorts 1 and 2: Day 3 and 5 ]AUC0-12 is defined as the area under the concentration versus time curve from time 0 to time 12 hours.
- PK Parameter: Cmax of ODV Metabolite, GS-441524 [ Time Frame: Cohorts 1 and 2: Day 3 and 5 ]Cmax is defined as maximum observed concentration of drug.
- PK Parameter: Ctrough of ODV Metabolite, GS-441524 [ Time Frame: Cohorts 1 and 2: Day 3 and 5 ]Ctrough is defined as concentration at the end of the dosing interval.
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) by Day 35 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 5 plus 30 days ]
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities by Day 35 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 5 plus 30 days ]
- Time to Sustained Alleviation of Targeted Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Symptoms by Day 35 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 35 ]
- Change from Baseline in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Viral Load at Day 5 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 5 ]
- Proportion of Participants Who Require Supplemental Oxygen Support by Day 35 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 35 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Palatability and Acceptability for Each Formulation as Measured by Questionnaire Scores [ Time Frame: Day 5 ]Palatability and acceptability assessed by a numeric response between numbers 1-5. Higher scores indicate better palatability and acceptability.
- Proportion of Participants with Concomitant Use of Medications Other Than Remdesivir (RDV) and Obeldesivir (ODV) for Treatment of COVID-19 by Day 35 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 35 ]
- Proportion of Participants with COVID-19-Related Hospitalization or All-Cause Death by Day 35 [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 35 ]
