Primary outcomePrimary: Change From Baseline to Day 5 in Viral Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) Level in Nasopharyngeal (NP) Swabs: mITT Population — -3.871; -3.166 Log10 copies/mL — p== 0.0004
Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir for the potential treatment of COVID-19 rebound.
The study is seeking participants who:
* Have completed treatment with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir
* Have a rebound in COVID-19 symptoms
* Are SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) positive
All study medications will be taken 2 times a day by mouth for 5 days. The first dose of study medication is taken at the study clinic and the rest at home.
We will examine the experiences of people receiving the study medicines to those who do not. This will help us determine if the study medicines are safe and effective.
People taking part will be in this study for about 24 weeks. Enrolled participants will need to visit the study clinic at least 8 times during the study.
