About this study

Official title: A PHASE 1, OPEN-LABEL, NON-RANDOMIZED STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE SAFETY AND PK FOLLOWING MULTIPLE ORAL DOSES OF PF-07321332 (NIRMATRELVIR)/RITONAVIR IN ADULT PARTICIPANTS WITH COVID-19 AND SEVERE RENAL IMPAIRMENT EITHER ON HEMODIALYSIS OR NOT ON HEMODIALYSIS

The purpose of this study is to learn about the side effects (safety) of the study medicine PF-07321332 (nirmatrelvir)/ritonavir for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 infection in adults with severe renal impairment. The study will also look at the amounts of study drug in your blood. There will be 24 participants in this study; 12 of them will have severe renal impairment and not be on hemodialysis and 12 of them will be on hemodialysis.

All participants in this study will take PF-07321332 (nirmatrelvir)/ritonavir by mouth for 5 days. During this time, they will have to collect blood samples to measure the study drug levels in their blood. After taking the study drug for 5 days, the participants will have follow-up visits for about another 28 days for a total of about 34 days in the study. The study team will check how each participant is doing during regular visits at the study clinic.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. results in death. 2. is life-threatening. 3. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 4. Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. 5. Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 6. Is a suspected transmission via a Pfizer product of an infectious agent, pathogenic or nonpathogenic. 7. other important medical events. Any events occurring following start of treatment were considered treatment emergent.

    Measured: From start of treatment on Day 1 to Day 34

  2. Number of Participants With Permanent Discontinuation From Study or Study Intervention Due to Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets one or more of the following criteria: 1. results in death. 2. is life-threatening. 3. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 4. Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. 5. Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 6. Is a suspected transmission via a Pfizer product of an infectious agent, pathogenic or nonpathogenic. 7. other important medical events. Any events occurring following start of treatment were considered treatment emergent.

    Measured: From start of treatment on Day 1 to Day 34

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PF-07321332 (Nirmatrelvir)

    Nirmatrelvir plasma concentration data were analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects models. Time frame was: For Cohort 1: Day 1 (anytime between 1-3 hours post-dose), Day 2 (anytime between 4-8 hours post-dose), Day 3 (anytime between 9-15 hours post-dose), Day 4 (pre-dose, anytime between 1-4 hours post-dose), Day 5 (pre-dose, anytime between 0.5-6 hours post-dose, anytime between 9-15 hours post-dose). For Cohort 2: Day 1 (anytime between 1-3 hours post-dose), Day 3 (pre-HD), Day 4 (pre-HD, pre-dose, anytime between 0.5-3 hours post-dose, anytime between 4-8 hours post-dose, anytime between 9-15 hours post-dose).

    Measured: Treatment Day 1 to Day 5, see description for details

  4. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of Nirmatrelvir

    Vz/F was estimated at steady state.

    Measured: Treatment Day 1 to Day 5

  5. Area Under the Curve Over a Dosing Interval (AUC0-tau) of Nirmatrelvir

    AUC0-tau was measured at 24 hours post-dose.

    Measured: 24 Hours after each dose on Treatment Day 1 to Day 5

  6. Terminal Half-Life (T1/2) of Nirmatrelvir

    T1/2 was observed directly from data.

    Measured: Treatment Day 1 to Day 5

  7. Trough Concentration (Ctrough) of Nirmatrelvir

    Ctrough was measured at 24 hours post-dose (pre the next dose). It was analyzed using nonlinear mixed effect models.

    Measured: 24 Hours after each dose on Treatment Day 1 to Day 5

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Hemodialysis Clearance (CLd) of Nirmatrelvir

    CLd of nirmatrelvir was calculated for Cohort 2 using non-compartmental analysis of arterial and venous port plasma concentration-time data. Only participants in Cohort 2 were on hemodialysis.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 3 and Day 4

  2. Fraction of Drug Removed During Dialysis (Fd) of Nirmatrelvir

    Fd of nirmatrelvir was calculated for Cohort 2 using non-compartmental analysis of arterial and venous port plasma concentration-time data. Only participants in Cohort 2 were on hemodialysis.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours post-dose on Day 3 and Day 4

Why it stopped: Decision to terminate study was due to slow enrolment and FDA input that available data may be enough for dosing recommendations for severe renal disease (subject to review by FDA).

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PF-07321332 (nirmatrelvir)/ritonavir in people with COVID-19, run by Pfizer at 52 sites 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 2 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 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 52 sites 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 23 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) (time frame: From start of treatment on Day 1 to Day 34). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05487040, 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 23 Sep 2024.
