The global research community attacked the COVID-19 pandemic and its causative agent, SARS-CoV-2, with intense ferocity.Over past four years, one could argue that SARS-CoV-2 was most intensely studied virus on planet dwarfing publication outputs of important pathogens such as HIV influenza virus*.In addition, prior to pandemic, coronaviruses (CoV) had been researched for decades since their discovery in 1960s (1) experienced experimental renaissances emergence SARS-CoV 2002 (2) MERS-CoV 2012 (3) (Fig. 1).Yet despite volumes research, questions about CoV biology from relatively simple complex, remain unclear.For example, what is clinical course infection?While answering this early may have garnered a straightforward answer, astronomical case numbers, enterprising scientists time collectively worked together provide insights into disease gone unnoticed otherwise, benefit studying rapid explosive infectious disease.

Abstract Background PAXLOVID consists of nirmatrelvir, an inhibitor SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), copackaged with ritonavir, a pharmacokinetic enhancer. Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir received emergency use authorization in the United States 2021 and was approved 2023. However, there is limited published information on clinical resistance to nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. Methods To investigate development nirmatrelvir/ritonavir treated patients, we analyzed baseline matching post-baseline next-generation sequencing data from 1,862 participants (912 nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, 950 placebo) EPIC-HR EPIC-SR, which were Phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Potential resistance-associated substitutions (RAS) defined as those that enriched nirmatrelvir/ritonavir-treated or occurred at Mpro positions interest, using nonclinical data. sequence databases characterize temporal frequencies RAS circulating viruses. Results In EPIC-HR, included T21I (n=1), E166V (n=3), A173T T304I being clearest observed. no detected. not associated hospitalization death. Analyses did reveal concerning increases over time. Conclusions trials, emergence infrequent (<0.3%-1.1%). Surveillance currently indicate low frequency variants RAS. Collectively, these results provide most comprehensive analysis setting date. Viral sequences should continue be closely monitored identify potential nirmatrelvir/ritonavir-resistant variants.

Abstract Background Viral SARS-CoV-2 rebound (viral RNA rebound) is challenging to characterize in large cohorts due the logistics of collecting frequent and regular diagnostic test results. Pharmacy-based testing data provide an opportunity study phenomenon a population, also enabling subgroup analyses. The current real-world evidence approach complements approaches focused on smaller, prospective designs. Methods We linked real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction from national pharmacy-based health care claims via tokenization calculate cumulative incidence viral within 28 days following positive results nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMV-r)–treated untreated individuals during Omicron era (December 2021–November 2022) prior (October 2020–November 2021). Results Among 30 646 patients, rate was 3.5% (95% CI, 2.0%–5.7%) NMV-r–treated infections as compared with 1.5% 1.3%–1.7%) 1.9% 1.7%–2.1%) era. patients who were vaccinated (n = 8151), high risk 4411), or older (≥65 years, n 4411) occurred at comparable rates overall cohort (range, 1.1%–4.8%). rebounds levels 8% 5% 11% infections. Rates hospitalization between (0%) (0%–1.2%). Conclusions Our findings suggest rare (< 5%), that consistent those EPIC-HR trial (Evaluation Protease Inhibition for COVID-19 High-Risk Patients). Most occurrences associated low levels, progression severe disease not observed.
