Table S11: Changes in the WHO clinical progression scale over time (modified intent-to-treat population) The WHO Clinical Progression Scale is an 11-point ordinal scale (ranging from 0 through 10), measuring the clinical progression of Covid-19.1 The minimally important difference is not known. Scores are assigned as follows:
Score 0: Uninfected, no SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detected.
Score 1: Asymptomatic, but SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detected.

aAnalyses are based on the proportional odds model with WHO-11 score categories as the response variable. Due to sparse data, the final model includes only treatment as covariate. CIs are based on Wald Chi-Squire Test. Odds ratios greater than 1 indicate a more favorable outcome for the first treatment listed.
CI, confidence interval. EOT, end of treatment. m, number of participants with non-missing ordinal scale at the time point assessed. MOV, molnupiravir. n, number of participants in each subcategory.
Day 3 includes post-baseline records up to day 4 relative to randomization. EOT (day 5) includes post-baseline records from day 5 (relative to randomization) up to day 7. End of treatment visits occurring earlier than day 5 (relative to randomization) are included in the day 3 visit. For the proportional odds model, the score categories were collapsed into 3 levels as follows: 0 to 3 (uninfected or ambulatory mild disease) vs. 4,5 (hospitalized: moderate disease) vs. 6 to 10 (hospitalized: severe disease or dead).

Table S12: Changes in the Pulmonary ordinal outcome over time (modified intent-to-treat population)
The Pulmonary Score is a 7-point ordinal scale (ranging from 1 through 7) that focuses on the respiratory sequelae of Covid-19 (based on oxygen requirements), as developed for the NAIDS and NIH Therapeutics for Inpatients with Covid-19 (TICO) protocol.2 The minimally important difference is not known. Scores are assigned as follows:
Score 1: Can independently undertake usual personal activities with minimal or no symptoms.
Score 2: Symptomatic and currently unable to independently undertake usual personal activities.
Score 3: Supplemental oxygen (<4 liters/min or <4 liters/min above premorbid requirements).
Score 4: Supplemental oxygen (≥4 liters/min or ≥4 liters/min above premorbid requirements, but not high-flow oxygen).
Score 5: Non-invasive assisted ventilation or high-flow oxygen.
Score 6: Invasive assisted ventilation, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation or mechanical circulatory support.
Score 7: Death.

Table S13: Changes in the Pulmonary+ ordinal outcome over time (modified intent-to-treat population)
The Pulmonary+ Score is a 7-point ordinal scale (ranging from 1 through 7) that captures the range of disease severity (including coagulation-related complications and respiratory dysfunction) in hospitalized patients with Covid-19, as developed for the NAIDS and NIH Therapeutics for Inpatients with Covid-19 (TICO) protocol.2 The minimally important difference is not known. Scores are assigned as follows:
Score 1: Can independently undertake usual personal activities with minimal or no symptoms.
Score 2: Symptomatic and currently unable to independently undertake usual personal activities.
Score 3: Supplemental oxygen (<4 liters/min or <4 liters/min above premorbid requirements).
Score 4: Supplemental oxygen (≥4 liters/min or ≥4 liters/min above premorbid requirements, but not high-flow oxygen) or any of the following: stroke (NIH Stroke Scale/Score ≤14), meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, myocardial ischemia, myocarditis, pericarditis, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or arterial or deep venous thrombosis.
Score 5: Non-invasive assisted ventilation or high-flow oxygen, or signs and symptoms of an acute stroke (NIH Stroke Scale/Score >14).
Score 6: Invasive assisted ventilation, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation or mechanical circulatory support, or vasopressor administration or renal replacement therapy.
Score 7: Death.

Table S14: National Early Warning Score at end-of-treatment (modified intent-to-treat population)
The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) is a 21-point ordinal aggregate score (ranging from 0 through 20) intended to assess the severity of acute illness and early detection of clinical deterioration to allow for initiation of a timely and appropriate clinical response.3 An aggregate score of 5 or 6 (medium) or any single parameter score of 3 indicates the need for urgent clinical review, and an aggregate score of ≥7 (high) indicates the need for emergency clinical review. Aggregate scores of ≤4 are considered low, indicating the need for prompt assessment by a registered nurse. Aggregate scores are calculated as follows:

EOT, end of treatment. m, number of participants with a baseline and at least one postbaseline test result in the specified analysis window. n, number of participants meeting the specified threshold of mutations. SD, standard deviation.
The error rate is calculated as the number of nucleotide mutations compared to the baseline sequence per 10,000 nucleotides (with an allele frequency ≥2%) across the entire viral genome (30,000 nucleotides).
Day 3 includes post-baseline records up to day 4 relative to randomization. EOT (day 5) includes post-baseline records from day 5 (relative to randomization) up to day 7. EOT visits occurring earlier than day 5 (relative to randomization) are included in the day 3 visit.

Figure S1: Population pharmacokinetic model-estimated and observed plasma pharmacokinetics of NHC in patients hospitalized for Covid-19 (modified intent-to-treat population of MOVe-IN) compared with healthy volunteers
Mean NHC AUC0-12 ranged from 8260 nmol*h/L (molnupiravir 200 mg) to 31700 nmol*h/L (molnupiravir 800 mg) and mean Cmax from 2540 nmol/L (molnupiravir 200 mg) to 9580 nmol/L (molnupiravir 800 mg).

MOV, molnupiravir.
Adverse event analyses captured all observed deaths, regardless of timing, resulting from an adverse event. Mortality analyses captured all deaths through day 29 (with imputation as ‘death’ in case of unknown day 29 survival status), regardless of cause.
