Trial Overview

Outcome

Primary endpoint met - positive

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

According to a Gilead Sciences media release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Veklury (remdesivir) for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization, based on data from ACTT-1 and SIMPLE-Severe studies.

According to a Gilead Sciences media release, the European Commission granted conditional marketing authorization of Veklury on July 3, 2020, based on data from this trial.

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 USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) use of the investigational antiviral Veklury (remdesivir) to treat all hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The expansion of the scope of the EUA to include hospitalized patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 is supported by the Agency's analysis of additional data from two randomized, controlled clinical trials that included patients with mild or moderate disease (ACTT-1 and Study GS-US-540-5774). 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 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

Final results from the phase III ACTT-1 trial showed that the primary endpoint was met with remdesivir plus standard of care demonstrating superiority in shortening the time to recovery through Day 29 compared with placebo plus standard of care. In the final Day 29 results, patients receiving remdesivir (n = 541) achieved clinical recovery five days faster than those receiving placebo, with a median time to recovery of 10 days with remdesivir and 15 days with placebo and an increased recovery rate by 29% compared with placebo (rate ratio for recovery, 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12 to 1.49; p<0.001). In patients who required oxygen support at baseline (n = 957)patients receiving remdesivir achieved clinical recovery seven days faster than those receiving placebo, with a median time to recovery of 11 days with remdesivir and 18 days with placebo (rate ratio for recovery, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.52). Patients receiving remdesivir demonstrated a 50% more likelihood to have improved by Day 15 compared with those receiving placebo (OR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2 to 1.9), and the effect was maintained through Day 29. Also, reduction in disease progression was observed in patients with oxygen requirement. This resulted in low incidence of new mechanical ventilation or ECMO (13% vs. 23%; 95% CI, -15 to -4). The benefit of remdesivir was found to be greater when given within 10 days of symptom onset. In the overall study population, a trend towards reduced mortality at Day 15 (6.7% vs. 11.9%; HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.83) and Day 29 (11.4% vs. 15.2%, HR 0.73; 95% CI, 0.52 to 1.03) was observed in remdesivir -treated patients compared with placebo [3] [1] . Earlier reported results from the trial demonstrated that administration of remdesivir statistically and significantly improved clinical odds at day 15 as compared to placebo group. The time for recovery as well as odds of improvement at day 15 were favourable for remdesivir group and consistent with overall study results. Earlier results demonstrated that patients treated with remdesivir recovered after about 10 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 [4] [5] .

Adverse events

In the phase III ACTT-1 trial, treatment with remdesivir was found to be generally safe and well tolerated. Overall, the incidence of adverse events associated with remdesivir was similar to placebo, with no new safety signals identified. Rates of serious adverse events (SAEs) were numerically higher in the placebo group compared with the remdesivir group (PBO + SOC: 32%; Veklury + SOC: 25%). Treatment discontinuation, all cause grade 3 and 4 adverse events and laboratory abnormalities were similar across groups [1] .
