About this study

Official title: Safety and Clinical and Virologic Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease Treated With Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir

Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir is approved for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) but not initially recommended in patients with severe renal impairment. Increasing observational data have shown the feasibility of dose-adjusted nirmatrelvir-ritonavir administration in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate lower than 30 ml/min/1.73 m^2. The study is planned to assess the safety, clinical and virologic outcomes of early oral nirmatrevir-ritonavir treatment of COVID-19 in patients with stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and clinical and virologic outcomes of dose-adjusted nirmatrelvir-ritonavir in patients with eGFR lower than 30 ml/min/1.73 m^2. Patients with eGFR greater than 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 and prescribed nirmatrelvir-ritonavir will be used for comparison.

In the single-centre study, patients with stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease prescribed early treatment dose-adjusted nirmatrelvir-ritonavir will be assessed for the primary endponts of adverse events during or after treatment with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (starting on or before day 30), serious adverse events and adverse events leading to discontinuation of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nirmatrelvir/ritonavirDrug

    Also called Paxlovid

    Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid)

What is being measured

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

  1. adverse event

    Adverse events during or after treatment with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (starting on or before day 30), serious adverse events and adverse events leading to discontinuation of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. RAT

    Time to negative rapid antigen test result

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Rebound

    Rebound of positive rapid antigen test or polymerase chain reaction PCR up to day 30

    Measured: 30 days

  3. WHO Clinical Progression Scale CPS

    Time to progression to CPS 5 up to day 30

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Symptoms

    Time to resolution of symptoms

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Symptomatic rebound

    Symptomatic rebound (symptomatic again after resolution of symptom with positive RAT or PCR)

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19 and Chronic Kidney Disease stage4, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 7 Feb 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 Hong Kong. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

adverse event (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05624840, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Feb 2024.
