Study design is rigorous for a phase 2a CHIM, with randomization, double-blinding, placebo control, and a pre-specified analysis plan.

“Based on these simulations, the power to detect a relevant reduction of ≥ 30% on log10 AUCD1-D29 (VL) at the 2-sided 10% significance level was calculated to be more than 85% with 6 participants in the placebo arm and 10 participants in the mosnodenvir high-dose arm.”direct quote[Methods, Participants]

The study design is robust: randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, with a power calculation, pre-specified inclusion/exclusion criteria, and clear handling of missing data. However, the randomization method is not explicitly described.
