The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about a study medicine called Ibuzatrelvir
for the possible treatment of COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients. Immunocompromised
patients with COVID-19 have more difficulty fighting infections and are at risk for
persistent infections and progression to severe illness. This patient population may
benefit from extended antiviral treatment durations, or a combination of antiviral
therapies. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibuzatrelvir with and
without remdesivir compared with remdesivir alone for the treatment of symptomatic
COVID-19 in adult participants who are severely immunocompromised.
The study is seeking adult male and female participants who:
- Have a confirmed COVID-19 infection
- Are severely immunocompromised due to blood cancers, organ transplant, certain
medications or therapies
- Have experienced the onset of signs or symptoms of COVID-19 within the past 5 days
and are currently experiencing at least one of them.
All of the participants in this study will receive active treatment for COVID-19, and
will be randomized to one of three treatment arms. One-third will received remdesivir,
one-third will receive ibuzatrelvir, and one third will receive both remdesivir and
ibuzatrelvir. Ibuzatrelvir will be taken by mouth twice daily, and remdesivir is given as
an IV infusion daily. Placebos that look like the study medicines but do not have any
medication will be given to make the 3 treatment arms appear to be the same. The study
will compare the experiences of people receiving ibuzatrelvir with and without remdesivir
to those of the people who only received remdesivir for COVID-19. This will help decide
if ibuzatrelvir is safe and effective.
Participants will attend about 10 study visits over 24 weeks. During this time, they will
have:
- visits at the study clinic
- blood work
- swabs of the nose that are collected in the clinic and also by participants at home
- questionnaires
