The purpose of this study is to learn about the side effects (safety) of the study medicine PF-07321332 (nirmatrelvir)/ritonavir for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 infection in adults with severe renal impairment. The study will also look at the amounts of study drug in your blood. There will be 24 participants in this study; 12 of them will have severe renal impairment and not be on hemodialysis and 12 of them will be on hemodialysis.
All participants in this study will take PF-07321332 (nirmatrelvir)/ritonavir by mouth for 5 days. During this time, they will have to collect blood samples to measure the study drug levels in their blood. After taking the study drug for 5 days, the participants will have follow-up visits for about another 28 days for a total of about 34 days in the study. The study team will check how each participant is doing during regular visits at the study clinic.
