New ibuzatrelvir tablet put to the test in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07552779
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This early-stage study is testing a new tablet version of the COVID-19 drug ibuzatrelvir in 18 healthy adults. Researchers want to see how much of the drug gets into the blood when taken as a whole tablet, dispersed in water, or with food. The goal is to compare the new tablet to the original one. Participants will stay in a clinic for about 10 days and be followed for 11 weeks total.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ibuzatrelvir
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more convenient or effective tablet form of ibuzatrelvir for treating COVID-19.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 18 healthy people, not patients. It only measures drug levels in blood, not whether the drug actually treats COVID-19. The new tablet may not work better than the original.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: 1. 18 years of age or older (or the minimum age of consent in accordance with local regulations) at screening who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and ECGs. 2. BMI of 16-32 kg/m2; and a total body weight \>45 kg. 3. Participants who are capable of giving signed informed consent and willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures. Exclusion Criteria 1. Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurological, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at the time of dosing). * Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (eg, gastrectomy, cholecystectomy). * History of HIV infection, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C; positive testing for HIV, HBsAg, or HCVAb. Hepatitis B vaccination is allowed. 2. Any medical or psychiatric condition including any active suicidal ideation in the past year or suicidal behavior in the past 5 years or laboratory abnormality or other conditions that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study. 3. Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs and dietary and herbal supplements within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study intervention with the exception of moderate or strong CYP3A inducers which are prohibited within 14 days plus 5 half-lives prior to the first dose of study intervention. 4. Previous administration of an investigational product (drug or vaccine) within 30 days or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study intervention used in this study (whichever is longer). 5. Participation in studies of other investigational products (drug or vaccine) at any time during participation in this study. 6. A positive urine drug test. A single repeat for positive drug screen may be allowed. 7. Screening supine BP ≥140 mm Hg (systolic) or ≥90 mm Hg (diastolic) for participants \<60 years; and ≥150/90 mm/Hg for participants ≥60 years old, following at least 5 minutes of supine rest. If systolic BP is ≥140 or 150 mm Hg (based on age) or diastolic ≥90 mm Hg, the BP should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 BP values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility. 8. An eGFR \<60 mL/min/1.73 m² as determined by the CKD-EPI equation using Screat. 9. Standard 12 lead ECG that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results (including, but not limited to, QTcF \>450 ms, complete LBBB, signs of an acute or indeterminate age myocardial infarction, ST segment and/or T wave changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia, second or third degree AV block, or serious bradyarrhythmias or tachyarrhythmias). If QTcF exceeds 450 ms, or QRS exceeds 120 ms, the ECG should be repeated twice and the average of the 3 QTcF or QRS values used to determine the participant's eligibility. Computer interpreted ECGs with abnormal findings should be overread by an investigator experienced in reading ECGs before excluding a participant. 10. Participants with ANY of the following abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests at screening, as assessed by the study specific laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat test, if deemed necessary: • ALT, AST, T Bili \>1.5× ULN. 11. History of alcohol abuse or repeated binge drinking and/or any other illicit drug use or dependence within 6 months of screening. Binge drinking is defined as a pattern of 5 (male) and 4 (female) or more alcoholic drinks in about 2 hours. As a general rule, alcohol intake should not exceed 14 units per week (1 unit = 8 ounces (240 mL) beer, 1 ounce (30 mL) of 40% spirit, or 3 ounces (90 mL) of wine). 12. Investigator site staff directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff otherwise supervised by the investigator, and sponsor and sponsor delegate employees directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members. 13. Use of tobacco/nicotine containing products in excess of the equivalent of 5 cigarettes/day or 2 chews of tobacco/day. 14. History of sensitivity reactions to ibuzatrelvir or any of the formulation components of ibuzatrelvir.
