What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. AUCinf of Nirmatrelvir Following the Administration of 4 Different Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir FDC Tablets (Test Formulations) Compared to the Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir 300(2*150)/100 mg Tablets (Reference Formulation)

    AUCinf was defined as area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time 0 extrapolated to infinite time. AUCinf for nirmatrelvir was calculated by AUClast + (Clast/kel), where Clast was the predicted plasma concentration at the last quantifiable time point from the log-linear regression analysis and kel is the terminal phase rate constant calculated by a linear regression of the log-linear concentration time curve.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period

  2. AUClast of Nirmatrelvir Following the Administration of 4 Different Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir FDC Tablets (Test Formulations) Compared to the Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir 300(2*150)/100 mg Tablets (Reference Formulation)

    AUClast was defined as area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (Clast). AUClast for nirmatrelvir was calculated by Linear/Log trapezoidal method.

    Measured: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With All-Causality and Treatment-Related TEAEs

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study treatment in a participant who received study treatment. Relatedness to study treatment was assessed by the investigator. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study treatment and up to approximately 51 days that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

    Measured: From the first dose of study treatment up to 35 days after last dose of study treatment (ie, up to 51 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities in Hematology, Chemistry, and Urinalysis

    Hematology included hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, platelet and white blood cell count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, etc. Chemistry included blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, albumin, total protein, fibrinogen, etc. Urinalysis included pH, glucose, protein, blood, ketones, nitrites, leukocyte esterase, microscopy and culture. Clinical significance was judged by the investigator and those met the criteria of AE are listed here. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities reported for at least 1 participant in the whole study are presented here. Baseline was defined as the last measurement taken prior to first dosing (Period 1 Day -1).

    Measured: From baseline up to Day 4 of Period 4 (approximately 17 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs

    Vital signs (temperature, pulse rate and blood pressure) were obtained with participants following at least 5 minutes of supine rest. Clinical significance of vital signs was determined at the investigator's discretion. Baseline was defined as pre-dose measurement taken on Day 1 of each period.

    Measured: From baseline up to Day 4 of Period 4 (approximately 16 days)

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Values

    A complete physical examination (PE) included, at a minimum, height, weight, head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, skin, heart and lung examinations, lymph nodes, and gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems. A brief PE included, at a minimum, assessments of general appearance, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and participant-reported symptoms. Clinical significance of physical examination values was determined at the investigator's discretion.

    Measured: From baseline up to 35 days after last dose of study treatment (ie, up to 51 days)

  5. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormal 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)

    A 12-lead ECG was obtained using an ECG machine that automatically calculated the heart rate and measured pulse rate, QT, and QTc intervals and QRS complex. All scheduled ECGs were performed after the participant had rested quietly for at least 5 minutes in a supine position. Clinical significance of ECG values was determined at the investigator's discretion. Baseline was defined as pre-dose measurement taken on Day 1 of Period 1.

    Measured: From baseline up to Day 4 of Period 4 (approximately 16 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nirmatrelvir/ ritonavir and Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir in people with Biological Availability and Healthy Participants, run by Pfizer at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Sep 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

AUCinf of Nirmatrelvir Following the Administration of 4 Different Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir FDC Tablets (Test Formulations) Compared to the Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir 300(2*150)/100 mg Tablets (Reference Formulation) (time frame: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dose on Day 1 of each treatment period). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
