Improvement in oxygenation was defined as oxygen saturation (SpO2)/FiO2 of 50 or greater compared to the nadir SpO2/FiO2 for at least 48 hours, or until discharge, whichever was sooner. Nadir SpO2/FiO2 was the nadir (lowest value) at any point in the study.

description: NEWS2: used to standardize assessment of acute-illness severity, track clinical condition of participants and to alert clinical teams to participant deterioration. NEWS2 score was based on 7 clinical parameters: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature. A score of 0, 1, 2, and 3 was allocated to each parameter except supplemental oxygen (a score of 0 or 1 was allocated) and level of consciousness (a score of 0 or 3 was allocated), where 0 = normal health condition to 3 = worst health condition; higher score indicated more severity. All scores were summed to get an aggregate score. Aggregate NEWS2 score ranged from 0 to 19, with higher scores meaning more severity/higher risk. Percentage of participants in following clinical risk categories were reported: low risk (score 0 to 4); low to medium risk (score of 3 in any individual parameter); medium risk (score 5 to 6); high risk (score 7 to 19).
time_frame: Baseline, Days 4, 7, 15, 21, and 29

Time to National Early Warning Score of Less Than (<) 2 and Maintained for 24 Hours

description: Time to NEWS2 <2 and maintained for 24 hours: time (in days) from 1st dose of study drug until 1st occurrence of NEWS score of <2 (maintained for 24 hours); calculated as: date of 1st occurrence/episode of event (NEWS score of <2) - date of 1st dose + 1. NEWS2 score was based on 7 clinical parameters: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature. A score of 0, 1, 2, and 3 was allocated to each parameter except supplemental oxygen (score of 0 or 1 was allocated) and level of consciousness (score of 0 or 3 was allocated), where 0=normal health condition to 3=worst health condition; higher score=more severity. All scores were summed to get an aggregate score which ranged from 0 to 19, with higher scores=more severity/higher risk. Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis.
time_frame: Baseline to Day 29

Change From Baseline at Days 4, 7, 15, 21, and 29 in National Early Warning Score 2

description: The NEWS2 was used to standardize the assessment of acute-illness severity, track the clinical condition of participants, and to alert clinical teams to participant deterioration. NEWS2 score is based on 7 clinical parameters: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, supplemental oxygen, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, level of consciousness, and temperature. A score of 0, 1, 2, and 3 was allocated to each parameter except supplemental oxygen (a score of 0 or 1 was allocated) and level of consciousness (a score of 0 or 3 was allocated), where 0 = normal health condition to 3 = worst health condition; higher score indicated more severity. All scores were summed to get an aggregate score. Aggregate NEWS2 score ranged from 0 to 19, with higher scores meaning more severity/higher risk.

Results

Therapeutic efficacy

Updated results from a phase III trial in patients with COVID-2019 infections, showed potential effect in sicker population post treatment with sarilumab with a 9% mortality reduction reported in ventilated patients, although not statistically significant. Earlier data showed that treatment with sarilumab led to numerical trends toward a decrease in duration of hospital stay as well as an acceleration in time to improve clinical outcomes, as measured by a 2-point improvement from baseline on the 7-point scale. Time to discharge was shortened by 2-3 days (statistically non-significant) within the first two weeks [3] [1] .

Adverse events

In a phase III trial, serious adverse events were reported in 26-29% treated with sarilumab and 24% of placebo patients with COVID-2019 infections. The incidence of adverse events leading to death was reported in 10% in all three treatment arms. Serious infections (including COVID-19 pneumonia) was reported in 11-13% of sarilumab patients and 12% of placebo patients [1] .
