Research Question:
Is the drug, tecovirimat (TPOXX), effective for treating human monkey pox virus disease?

Basic Study Information

Purpose:
Tecorvirimat is an oral medication used to treat monkeypox. Participants are eligible if they have a laboratory confirmed Monkeypox infection within 7 days of enrollment. Participants will take either Tecorvirimat or placebo for 14 days. Participants with severe disease, significant skin conditions, or participants with severe immune suppression will receive open-label tecovirimat. Participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding will receive open-label tecovirimat after discussion of the potential risks and benefits. Participants less than 18 years of age will receive open-label tecovirimat. Participants receiving a potent inducing concomitant medication will receive open-label tecovirimat. Participants will self-monitor skin and/or mucosal lesions daily through 29 days or resolution (whichever comes first), complete a daily diary of symptoms and complete a daily numerical rating scale for pain assessment. Participants will be seen at day 57 to assess for possible recrudescence of infection (i.e., new lesions occurring after initial resolution of disease.
