Owing to the rapidly changing landscape during the pandemic, many of these trials were unable to reach completion. Further, methods for synthesizing trials that were launched and not completed were critical.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2059866126107699_as2\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review aimed to consolidate global evidence by identifying placebo controlled, randomized trials of camostat and analyzing their collective clinical and virologic impact on SARS-CoV-2 through an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA). We harmonized data from the studies and utilized Bayesian statistical models to assess virologic outcomes (measured by the rate of change in viral shedding) and clinical outcomes (based on the time to the first of two consecutive symptom-free days), adjusting for age and sex.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2059866126107699_as3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The IPDMA incorporated data from six countries, totaling 431 patients across the studies; 118 patients contributed data for the primary virologic outcome and 240 for the clinical symptom outcome. Camostat did not improve the rate of change in viral load (difference in rate of change = 0.11 Ct value\/day higher, 95% credible interval 2.04 lower to 2.23 higher) or time to symptom resolution (hazard ratio = 0.87, 95% credible interval 0.51, 1.55) when compared to placebo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2059866126107699_as4\">\n
