New treatment option for COVID-19
Official title OPtimisation of Antiviral Therapy in Immunocompromised COVID-19 Patients: a Randomized Factorial Controlled Strategy Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05587894
What this study is testing
What is Paxlovid 5 days?
Paxlovid 5 days is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for covid-19.
Also referred to as Nirmatrevlir/ritonavir.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The overall purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of possible combination antiviral therapy DAA (remdesivir + nirmatrelvir/r)∞ versus the reference monotherapy (nirmatrelvir/r alone) and to assess the efficacy and safety of increasing the nirmatrelvir/r course from 5- to 10 days in immunocompromised patients diagnosed with asymptomatic or mild to moderate COVID-19.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
