NCT ID NCT06397144

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Pfizer study aimed to check if new combination tablets of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (the drug in Paxlovid) work the same as the current marketed version. About 28 healthy adults were to receive single doses of different tablet forms under fasting conditions. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could lead to
