Study summary

This study is a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study to evaluate the effect of Paxlovid on the virus-negative time and disease progression in uremic patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (omicron variants).

This study will enroll maintenance hemodialysis patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (omicron variants).

After signing the informed consent form, the qualified subjects will be randomly stratified 1:1 to standard-of-care (SOC) or SOC plus Paxlovid for five days.

Interventions

  • DrugPaxlovid

    Paxlovid contains two medicines: nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. Nirmatrelvir \[PF-07321332\] is a SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) inhibitor (also known as SARS-CoV2 3CL protease inhibitor) that works by inhibiting viral replication in the early stages of the disease to prevent progression to severe COVID-19. Ritonavir is co-administered with nirmatrelvir to help slow its metabolism in order for it to remain active in the body for longer periods of time at higher concentrations to help combat the virus.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jun 2022; primary completion for Jul 2022, 1 month later.

Of 138 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under COVID-19, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 22. This study's planned 1 month is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 314 studies reached it within 8 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 15.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 23, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
