Abstract

Aim: A sensitive and selective method for the determination of nirmatrelvir in dried human blood collected by Tasso-M20 was developed and validated from 20.0 to 20,000 ng/ml. Materials & methods: Nirmatrelvir and its stable-labeled internal standard were isolated from approximately 20 μl of blood dried on one volumetric absorptive pad inside the Tasso-M20 device by extraction with methanol, followed by dilution of the supernatant. The extracts were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometric detection. Results & conclusion: The method was fully validated. Hematocrit levels do not impact assay accuracy. Stabilities to cover sample drying and storage at a variety of conditions were conducted. The validated method was used in multiple clinical studies with excellent performance.
