Trial Overview

Purpose

This phase III, placebo-controlled trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel therapeutic agents (Remdesivir) in hospitalized adults diagnosed with COVID-19.
The study is comparing different investigational therapeutic agents to a control arm. There will be interim monitoring to introduce new arms and allow early stopping for futility, efficacy, or safety. If one therapy proves to be efficacious, then this treatment may become the control arm for comparison(s) with new experimental treatment(s). Any such change would be accompanied by an updated sample size. Because background standards of supportive care may evolve/improve over time as more is learned about successful management of COVID-19, comparisons of safety and efficacy will be based on data from concurrently randomized subjects. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will actively monitor interim data to make recommendations about early study closure or changes to study arms. To evaluate the clinical efficacy, as assessed by time to recovery, of different investigational therapeutics as compared to the control arm.

Comments

Based on the data from this trial plus supporting data from other studies on remdesivir, in June 2020, EMA's human medicines committee (CHMP) has recommended granting a conditional marketing authorisation to Veklury (remdesivir) for the treatment of COVID-19 in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age with pneumonia who require supplemental oxygen.
The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) granted regulatory approval of Veklury (remdesivir) as a treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection under an exceptional approval pathway. The exceptional approval was granted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and references the Emergency Use Authorization of remdesivir in the United States. The approval is based on clinical data from the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases's global Phase 3 trial, the company's Phase 3 SIMPLE trial in patients with severe manifestations of COVID-19, and available data from company's compassionate use program, including patients in Japan.
The U.S. FDA granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for the investigational antiviral remdesivir to treat COVID-19. The EUA will facilitate broader use of remdesivir to treat hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease, enabling access to remdesivir at additional hospitals across the country. Under the EUA, both 5-day and 10-day treatment durations are suggested, based on the severity of disease.The EUA is based on available data from two global clinical trials, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases placebo-controlled Phase 3 study in patients with moderate to severe symptoms of COVID-19 (NCT04280705), including those who were critically ill, and Gileads global Phase 3 study evaluating 5-day and 10-day dosing durations of remdesivir in patients with severe disease (NCT04292899).The EUA is temporary and does not take the place of the formal new drug application submission, review and approval process. The EUA allows for the distribution and emergency use of remdesivir only for the treatment of COVID-19, remdesivir remains an investigational drug and has not been approved by FDA.

Interventions

Drugs Route Formulation
BaricitinibPrimary Drug Oral Tablet
RemdesivirPrimary Drug Intravenous Infusion, Injection, Lyophilised

Placebo

200 mg of Remdesivir placebo administered intravenously on Day 1, followed by a 100 mg once-daily maintenance dose of Remdesivir placebo while hospitalized for up to a 10 days total course. n=286. Other: Placebo (The supplied placebo lyophilized formulation is identical in physical appearance to the active lyophilized formulation and contains the same inactive ingredients. Alternatively, a placebo of normal saline of equal volume may be given if there are limitations on matching placebo supplies.)

Remdesivir

200 mg of Remdesivir administered intravenously on Day 1, followed by a 100 mg once-daily maintenance dose of Remdesivir while hospitalized for up to a 10 days total course. n=286. Drug: Remdesivir (Drug Remdesivir is a single diastereomer monophosphoramidate prodrug designed for the intracellular delivery of a modified adenine nucleoside analog GS-441524. In addition to the active ingredient, the lyophilized formulation of Remdesivir contains the following inactive ingredients: water for injection, sulfobutylether beta-cyclodextrin sodium (SBECD), and hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide.)

Results

Therapeutic efficacy

The results from the phase III ACTT trial demonstrated that patients treated with remdesivir recovered after about 11 days, compared with 15 days for patients given placebo. In patients with mild to moderate disease this effect was not observed, where time to recovery was 5 days for both the remdesivir group and the placebo group. Approximately 90% of the study population constituted patients with severe disease, where in time to recovery was 12 days in the remdesivir group and 18 days in the placebo group. However, no difference was observed in time to recovery in patients who started remdesivir when they were already on mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Data on the proportion of patients who died up to 28 days after starting treatment are currently being collected for final analysis. Initial preliminary results from the trial showed that treatment with remdesivir exhibited 31% of recovery from hospitalised patients (n = 1063) than those who received the placebo and suggested a survival benefit with mortality rate of 8.0% for the remdesivir group versus 11.6% for the placebo group [2] [3] .
