Effectiveness of tocilizumab, sarilumab, and anakinra for critically ill patients with COVID-19: the REMAP-CAP COVID-19 immune modulation therapy domain randomized clinical trial. CAP is a leading cause of death from infection globally, with lower respiratory tract infection . In the safety Rationale and design. A Randomised, Embedded, Multi-factorial, Adaptive Platform Trial for Community-Acquired Pneumonia. . The Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy (RECOVERY) trial has demonstrated that an anti-inflammatory treatment, tocilizumab, reduces the risk of death when given to hospitalised patients with severe COVID-19. There are no adequate data from the use of tocilizumab in pregnant women. Previously, an adaptive analysis revealed that within the COVID-19 Immune Modulation Domain both tocilizumab and sarilumab had reached platform conclusions for efficacy when compared to the 'no immune modulation' intervention. Patients whose COVID-19 treatment protocol included Dexamethasone and Tocilizumab have been shown to have a 10.7% higher survival rate than patients not administered these therapeutics. Here we report the results of a large randomised, controlled trial aimed at evaluating the effects of tocilizumab in adult patients hospitalised with severe COVID-19 characterised by hypoxia and substantial inflammation. The REMAP-COVID Core Protocol utilised in the United States of America is available upon request. As a result, the 'no immune modulation . The REMAP-CAP study demonstrated a mortality benefit from tocilizumab with a 27% mortality rate compared to 36% in the control group (adjusted odds ratio for survival of 1.64, 95% CI, 1.14 to 2.35).

The Study was designed not to be resource intensive and . CAP? In recent weeks, preprinted results from 803 critically ill participants in the REMAP-CAP (Randomised, Embedded, Multi-factorial, Adaptive Platform Trial for Community-Acquired Pneumonia) trial found tocilizumab decreased in-hospital mortality compared with standard care (28% v 35.8%, adjusted odds ratio for survival 1.64, 95% confidence . . The latter finding is supported by the REMAP-CAP RCT, 16 as well as by observational studies showing a 25% survival benefit in ICU, compared to 31% in non-ICU patients. This is a randomized, double blind, multi-center study to evaluate the effects of tocilizumab compared to placebo on patient outcomes in participants with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and evidence of systemic inflammation. As of January 2020, REMAP-CAP (Randomized Embedded Multifactorial Adaptive Platform for Community-acquired Pneumonia) was approved and enrolling patients in 52 intensive care units in 13 countries on 3 continents. Tocilizumab did not improve clinical status or reduce mortality at day 28, although time to hospital discharge (or readiness for discharge) and duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay both appeared to be shorter in the tocilizumab group. Tocilizumab 4. Please check the SmPC for tocilizumab, which currently states: "Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during and up to 3 months after treatment. The REMAP-CAP trial showed that mortality was 35.8% for patients receiving current standard of care alone, and that this was reduced to 27.3% using tocilizumab and sarilumab. 8-14.

The REMAP-CAP trial excluded pregnant women, whereas the RECOVERY trial has included pregnant women. Pandemics are impossible to predict, and may spread rapidly throughout the world. Of 1600 citations, eight RCTs and 28 cohorts were eligible. The REMAP-CAP trial (Randomised, Embedded, Multi-factorial, Adaptive Platform Trial for Community-Acquired Pneumonia), which began in March 2020, has been trialling potential treatments in hospitalised patients with either moderate or severe COVID-19. METHODS We evaluated four immunomodulatory agents in an ongoing international, multifactorial, adaptive platform trial. Contrary to the REMAP-CAP trial, Veiga et al. (REMAP-CAP ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02735707. Tocilizumab will be administered at a dose of 8mg/kg based on measured or Notably, the majority of patients were receiving non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation at the time of tocilizumab in both studies. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) that is of sufficient severity to require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with substantial mortality. REMAP-CAP has implemented the Pandemic Appendix to the Core Protocol so that the platform can respond rapidly in the event of widespread disease resulting from the novel 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19). Background. The rheumatoid arthritis drug tocilizumab seems to improve outcomes in patients with covid-19 who are the most severely ill, show early results released from the Remap-Cap international platform trial. Methods. At that time, 353 patients had been assigned to tocilizumab, 48 to sarilumab, and 402 to control. . • Several trials allowed for a second dose of tocilizumab per discretion of the investigator. We will now roll out that concept further to find the best treatment for patients even faster.". The in-hospital mortality in the pooled interleukin-6 receptor antagonist groups was 27% (108 of 395 patients), as compared with 36% (142 of 397 patients) in the control group.

COVID-19 Tocilizumab & Sarilumab Treatment Protocol Tocilizumab and sarilumab are recombinant humanised monoclonal antibodies that block the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor, potentially mitigating the IL-6 mediated systemic and local effects seen within COVID-19. REMAP-CAP Core Protocol. Professor of microbiology Marc Bonten (Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care Medicine, UMC Utrecht) says, "After years of preparation, REMAP-CAP proved to be of great value during the pandemic. 11 February 2021. Tocilizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets both soluble and membrane bound IL-6 receptors, preventing IL-6 binding and reducing IL-6 signaling. Year: 2021. 1.4 Vocabulary Domain: a speci c set of competing alternative interventions within a common clinical mode REMAP-CAP Investigators, Gordon AC, Mouncey PR, et al. The multinational REMAP-CAP trial assigned 353 patients to tocilizumab (8 mg per kilogram body weight), 48 to sarilumab (400 mg), and 402 to the control group. The SmPC for sarilumab and tocilizumab currently states: Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during and up to months after treatment. Both tocilizumab and sarilumab met the predefined criteria for efficacy. A meta-analysis, of 7 randomised trials including REMAP-CAP, published in JAMA on the same date as this trial, found . A total of 2,895 patients were randomized across the three trials with 2,293 (1,398 moderate and 895 severe) having completed 21 days of follow-up with organ support assessment. Comment: The REMAP-CAP study, an international adaptive clinical trial platform for testing multiple COVID-19 therapeutics, included tocilizumab or sarilumab compared to standard care (i.e., no placebo arm).91 Data have been released as a pre-print pending peer review. REMAP-CAP (REMAP-COVID) May 30, 2021 1.3.2 Secondary Endpoint: In-Hospital Mortality The secondary endpoint is a dichotomous endpoint of in-hospital mortality, i.e. The vials available for this study to make the dose are: 200mg/10mL and 80mg/4mL.

Description of the statistical model . The REMAP-CAP Investigators. In critically ill patients with Covid-19 receiving organ support in ICUs, treatment with the interleukin-6 receptor antagonists tocilizumab and sarilumab improved outcomes, including survival. The local treatment protocol, which included dexamethasone co-treatment for a maximum of 10 days, was based on the protocol used in the recently published REMAP-CAP trial and national guidelines . In non-critically ill patients with Covid-19, an initial strategy of therapeutic-dose anticoagulation with heparin increases the probability of survival to hospital discharge with reduced use of organ support. What interventions are in the COVID-19 domain? The critically ill cohort was terminated . The REMAP-CAP and RECOVERY trials, the 2 largest randomized controlled trials of tocilizumab to date, have both reported a mortality benefit for tocilizumab among patients with rapid respiratory decompensation who require oxygen delivery through a high-flow device or NIV.
