Efficiency and Safety of Paxlovid for the Treatment of COVID-19 Patients With Severe Chronic Kidney Disease

This is a prospective, single-center, open and self-controlled study.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paxlovid for the treatment of COVID-19 patients with severe chronic kidney disease.

Detailed Description

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a significantly increased risk of hospitalization or death due to severe COVID-19. A meta-analysis of 348 studies (382,407 COVID-19 and 1,139,979 patients with chronic kidney disease) showed that the incidence of COVID-19 in patients receiving maintenance dialysis was higher than that in CKD patients who did not need renal replacement therapy. The mortality of CKD patients in COVID-19 is higher than that of CKD patients without COVID-19. Another meta-analysis showed that COVID-19 infection was closely related to the mortality of CKD patients. The mortality rate of CKD patients infected with COVID-19 is 5.81 times higher than that of CKD patients not infected with COVID-19.

The severe/critical high-risk groups defined in the novel coronavirus Infection Diagnosis and Treatment Program formulated by the National Health and Wellness Commission include kidney disease and maintenance dialysis patients. It is clearly stated in the treatment plan that adult patients with mild or moderate severity and high risk factors should be treated with antiviral therapy within 5 days of onset.

Naimatevir tablets/ritonavir tablets (Paxlovid) are commonly used antiviral drugs at present, but it is not recommended for patients with severe renal insufficiency at present, mainly because the data of drug metabolism of Naimatevir/Ritonavir in this population are insufficient. Because the efficacy of Naimatevir/Ritonavir in patients with Covid-19 infection is clear, and the small sample of clinical research data of patients with severe renal insufficiency shows that it has a small safety risk, this study intends to carry out the safety and efficacy study of Naimatevir/Ritonavir in CKD5 patients, and at the same time, carry out the pharmacokinetic study to determine whether Naimatevir/Ritonavir can be used in the treatment of CKD5 patients.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Paxlovid group
Patients will take Paxlovid.On the first day, Nematavir tablet 300mg/Ritonavir tablet 100mg orally once, then Nematavir tablet 150mg/ Ritonavir tablet 100mg orally once a day for 4 days. Dialysis patients must took the medication after dialysis.
Paxlovid is an oral drug for the treatment of COVID-19. It is suitable for adults with mild to moderate COVID-19 patients with high risk factors for progression to severe disease.
Other Names:
  • Paxlovid

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Security indexes
Time Frame: Start medication until 14 days
Adverse and serious adverse events were recorded
Start medication until 14 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid negative transformation time
Time Frame: Start medication until 14 days
SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid first positive to negative time.
Start medication until 14 days
The proportion of disease that progresses to severe or critical type
Time Frame: Start medication until 14 days

Severe type refer to any of the following and cannot be explained by other reasons other than Covid-19 infection:

  1. shortness of breath, RR>30 times/minute:
  2. At rest, when inhaling air, the oxygen saturation is less than 93%;
  3. Partial arterial oxygen pressure (Pa02)/ oxygen concentration (Fi02)<300mmHg.
  4. The clinical symptoms are getting worse, and the lung imaging shows that the lesion has obviously progressed more than 50% within 24 ~48 hours.

Critical type refer to those who meet one of the following conditions:

  1. Respiratory failure occurs and mechanical ventilation is needed;
  2. Shock:
  3. Other organ failure requires ICU monitoring and treatment.
Start medication until 14 days
