Pfizer's Paxlovid Covid-19 drug studied after reports of 'relapses'

The following is an excerpt from WebMD.

U.S. researchers are planning to study how often and why coronavirus levels come back for some Covid-19 patients who take Pfizerโ€™s Paxlovid drug, according to Bloomberg News.

โ€œIt is a priority,โ€ Clifford Lane, MD, the instituteโ€™s deputy director for clinical research, told Bloomberg News, adding that the question is โ€œa pretty urgent thing for us to get a handle on.โ€

Researchers know little about the rebound cases so far, including how often they occur, whether the Omicron variant may play a role, or whether the drug is even related to the relapse in the first place, the news outlet reported. 

Earlier this week, researchers at the VA Boston Healthcare System published a preprint with a case study, which marks the first rebound case described in medical literature.

A 71-year-old man, who was vaccinated and boosted, quickly recovered from Covid-19 after taking Paxlovid but then had a relapse of symptoms and a spike in viral levels about nine days after his first positive test. Then the symptoms and viral levels resolved a few days later.

Similar cases have appeared on social media and in medical blogs, and doctors have seen patients with these types of rebounds in recent weeks.

โ€œProviders who are going to be prescribing this should be aware that this phenomenon occurs, and if people have symptoms worsening after Paxlovid, itโ€™s probably still Covid,โ€ Paul Sax, MD, clinical director of the infectious diseases division at Brigham and Womenโ€™s Hospital, told Bloomberg News.

โ€œThe big problem is that when this drug was released, this information wasnโ€™t includedโ€ in the label, Sax said.
