Safety and Clinical and Virologic Outcomes in CKD Patients Treated With Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir

Completed
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease stage4
COVID-19
Chronc Kidney Disease Stage 5
Registration Number
NCT05624840
Lead Sponsor
Chinese University of Hong Kong
Brief Summary

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.

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.
