Paxlovid in the Treatment of COVID-19 Patients With Uremia

May 20, 2022 updated by: Jieming QU, Ruijin Hospital

The Effect of Paxlovid in the Treatment of COVID-19 Patients With Uremia

This study is a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study to evaluate the effect of Paxlovid on the virus-negative time and disease progression in uremic patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (omicron variants).

This study will enroll maintenance hemodialysis patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (omicron variants).

After signing the informed consent form, the qualified subjects will be randomly stratified 1:1 to standard-of-care (SOC) or SOC plus Paxlovid for five days.

At least 1 symptom or sign of COVID-19 at the time of being enrolled into the study(symptoms and signs related to COVID-19 including cough, expectoration, dyspnea, fever, chills, fatigue, muscle soreness, diarrhea, headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, runny nose, etc.).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of active liver disease, including chronic or active hepatitis B or C, primary biliary cirrhosis, Child-Pugh B or C, or acute liver failure.

HIV infection and the viral load is greater than 400 copies/ml. Suspected or confirmed active systemic infections that may have an impact on the study evaluation except for COVID-19.

Acute heart failure, respiratory failure, severe chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease caused by uremia-related complications.

Allergic to any ingredients of Paxlovid.

Drug: Paxlovid

Paxlovid contains two medicines: nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. Nirmatrelvir [PF-07321332] is a SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) inhibitor (also known as SARS-CoV2 3CL protease inhibitor) that works by inhibiting viral replication in the early stages of the disease to prevent progression to severe COVID-19.

Ritonavir is co-administered with nirmatrelvir to help slow its metabolism in order for it to remain active in the body for longer periods of time at higher concentrations to help combat the virus.
