Simnotrelvir/ritonavir and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir are major treatments for COVID-19, but their comparative efficacy and safety, especially in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19, remain unclear.
This was a retrospective cohort study using electronic medical record data. From May 30, 2023, to October 8, 2023, 115 patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 were retrospectively collected from Wenzhou Central Hospital. They were treated with simnotrelvir/ritonavir or nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. The clinical effectiveness and adverse reactions were analyzed and compared between the two groups.
A total of 115 hospitalized patients were included in the study. They were 65 (56.5%) men and 50 (43.5%) women, with a mean age of 61 years. 58 (50.4%) were treated with simnotrelvir/ritonavir and 57 (49.6%) with nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. There was a similar rate of composite disease progression (10.3% vs. 7.0%, χ = 0.401, p = 0.527) and mortality (5.2% vs. 3.5%, χ = 0.191, p = 0.662) between the two groups. The progression rate from moderate COVID-19 to severe COVID-19 was not significantly different between the two groups (4.5% vs. 6.4%, χ = 0.148, p = 0.701). Median time for hospitalization was 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) days and 9.0 (8.0, 10.0) days (p = 0.338), and time for SARS-CoV-2 negative conversion was 6.0 (6.0, 7.0) days and 7.0 (6.0, 7.0) days (p = 0.934) in the simnotrelvir/ritonavir group and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir group, respectively. Among moderate patients, time for hospitalization was shorter in the simnotrelvir/ritonavir group [6.0 (6.0, 7.0) vs. 8.0 (8.0, 10.0) days, log-rank p = 0.004, HR = 1.838 (95% CI 1.199-2.815)]. And 5 (8.6%) had adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the simnotrelvir/ritonavir group and 6 (10.5%) had ADRs in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir group.
This is the first study comparing the effectiveness of simnotrelvir/ritonavir and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir in moderate and severe COVID-19 patients. Patients who received simnotrelvir/ritonavir exhibited shorter hospitalization. Disease progression, viral clearance times, and symptom resolution time were similar between the two groups.
西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦和奈玛特瑞韦/利托那韦是治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)的主要药物,但它们的疗效和安全性比较,尤其是在中重度COVID-19患者中的情况,仍不明确。
本研究为回顾性队列研究,使用电子病历数据。2023年5月30日至2023年10月8日,从温州中心医院回顾性收集了115例中重度COVID-19患者。他们接受了西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦或奈玛特瑞韦/利托那韦治疗。分析并比较了两组的临床疗效和不良反应。
本研究共纳入115例住院患者。其中男性65例(56.5%),女性50例(43.5%),平均年龄61岁。58例(50.4%)接受西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦治疗,57例(49.6%)接受奈玛特瑞韦/利托那韦治疗。两组的综合疾病进展率(10.3%对7.0%,χ² = 0.401,p = 0.527)和死亡率(5.2%对3.5%,χ² = 0.191,p = 0.662)相似。两组中从轻度COVID-19进展为重度COVID-19的比例无显著差异(4.5%对6.4%,χ² = 0.148,p = 0.701)。西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦组和奈玛特瑞韦/利托那韦组的住院中位时间分别为7.0(6.0,8.0)天和9.0(8.0,10.0)天(p = 0.338),新型冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)转阴时间分别为6.0(6.0,7.0)天和7.0(6.0,7.0)天(p = 0.934)。在轻度患者中,西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦组的住院时间较短[6.0(6.0,7.0)天对8.0(8.0,10.0)天,对数秩检验p = 0.004,风险比(HR)= 1.838(95%置信区间1.199 - 2.815)]。西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦组有5例(8.6%)出现药物不良反应(ADR),奈玛特瑞韦/利托那韦组有6例(10.5%)出现ADR。
本研究首次比较了西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦和奈玛特瑞韦/利托那韦在中重度COVID-19患者中的疗效。接受西莫特瑞韦/利托那韦治疗的患者住院时间较短。两组的疾病进展、病毒清除时间和症状缓解时间相似。
