Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir in the treatment of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether the use of the drug can help patients recover from COVID-19.

Patients in both groups were given Lianhua Qingwen Capsule orally, 3 times/day, 6 g/time. oral antipyretic (ibuprofen suspension 10ml) and symptomatic supportive treatment for body temperature >38.5 ℃. The study group was given Nirmatrelvir 300mg/Ritonavir 100mg orally, q12h, for 5 days, and the control group not given any antiviral drugs.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Nasal swab COVID-19 nucleic acid tests

    Patients in both groups underwent nasal swab COVID-19 nucleic acid tests on days 4, 7, 9 and 11 of treatment, and CT values were recorded (CT values of 40 for negative results). Compare the difference in the change of CT values of COVID-19 nucleic acid between two groups of patients

    Time frame: On days 4, 7, 9 and 11 of treatment

  2. Virus turn negative

    Compare the first negative conversion(or CT value ≥35) time of coronavirus nucleic acid between two groups

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 5 months

  3. Hospital stays

    Compare the difference in hospitalization time between the two groups strictly according to discharge criteria

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 5 months

  4. Adverse drug reaction

    Compare the adverse drug reactions during hospitalization between two groups

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 5 months

  5. COVID-19 nucleic acid re-positive

    After discharge, patients in both groups continued to be isolated at the isolation point for 7 days and underwent COVID-19 nucleic acid tests daily to compare the COVID-19 nucleic acid re-positive

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 5 months
