Trial Overview

Outcome

Primary endpoint not met - negative

Purpose

This phase 2/3 study is investigating addition of Kevzara (sailumab) to usual supportive care, compared to supportive care plus placebo in patients with severe COVID-19 infection across approximately 16 U.S. sites.
This adaptive design study has two parts: first part will evaluate the impact of Kevzara on fever and patients' need for supplemental oxygen. The second, larger part of the trial will evaluate the improvement in longer-term outcomes including preventing death and reducing the need for mechanical ventilation, supplemental oxygen and/or hospitalization.

Comments

According to a Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Media Release, based on the latest results ( 400mg cohort), the trial did not meet its primary and key secondary endpoints. So, the company has been stopped this study.

Results

Therapeutic efficacy

Updates results from the phase III portion of the trial showed that following treatment with sarilumab, minor positive trends were observed in the primary pre-specified analysis group (n = 194) (critical patients on sarilumab 400 mg who were mechanically ventilated at baseline) however statistical significance was not achieved. These were countered by negative trends in a subgroup of critical patients who were not mechanically ventilated at baseline including the proportion of patients with a 1-point improvement on day 22 (primary endpoint for mechanical ventilation group); the proportion of patients who died by day 29; and the proportion of patients who recovered by day 22. Preliminary results from the phase II portion of the phase II/III trial showed that primary end point of the trial was met as indicated by rapidly lowered C-reactive protein in sarilumab treated patients. Baseline levels of IL-6 were elevated across all treatment arms, with higher levels observed in "critical" patients compared to "severe" patients. Explorarory analysis results showed that no notable benefit on clinical outcomes when combining the "severe" and "critical" groups, versus placebo was observed in sarilumab treated patients. However, negative trends for most outcomes in the "severe" group, while positive trends for all outcomes in the "critical" group were observed. Review of the discontinued "severe" group data revealed that the negative trends in the phase II trial (n=126) were not reproduced in phase III trial (n=276), and that clinical outcomes were balanced across the sarilumab and placebo treatment arms. Outcomes for the "severe" group were better than expected based on prior reports, regardless of treatment assignment as evident from example that in the phase II portion, approximately 80% were discharged, 10% of patients died and 10% remain hospitalized in the severe group^[1]^[3].

Adverse events

COVID-2019 Infections: Updated resultd from the phase III portion of the trial showed that in the primary analysis group (n = 194) adverse events were experienced by 80% of sarilumab patients and 77% of placebo patients. Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (6% sarilumab, 5% placebo) and hypotension (4% sarilumab, 3% placebo) were the serious adverse events reported in at least 3% of patients and more frequently among sarilumab patients^[1]^[3].
