PK and Safety of Remdesivir for Treatment of COVID-19 in Pregnant and Non-Pregnant Women in the US

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)54 enrolled

Overview

IMPAACT 2032 was a Phase IV prospective, open label, non-randomized opportunistic study. The objectives of this study were to describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties and safety of remdesivir (RDV) administered intravenously as part of clinical care among hospitalized pregnant and non-pregnant women of childbearing potential with coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). RDV was provided and managed by the participant's treating physician and was not provided as part of this study.

IMPAACT 2032 was a Phase IV prospective, open label, non-randomized opportunistic study to evaluate the PK and safety of RDV when administered to pregnant and non-pregnant women of childbearing potential for treatment of COVID-19. Participants were pregnant and non-pregnant women hospitalized for COVID-19 who received daily RDV infusions, typically for 5 days but in some cases for up to 10 days, as part of their clinical care. RDV was provided and managed by the participants' treating physician and was not provided as a part of this study. This study was comprised of two population-based arms: Arm 1 included pregnant women of any gestational age (GA) and Arm 2 included non-pregnant women of childbearing potential, who were between 18 and 45 years of age. The target sample size was 20 PK-evaluable participants per arm. Study sites were located in the United States. Study procedures for this study were limited to data collection and blood specimens for PK. Except for PK sampling, study procedures were largely done via medical chart abstraction or remote contact/telemedicine visit. Collection of clinical and laboratory data started at 48 hours before the first infusion and continued through 4 weeks after the last infusion. In addition, data were collected at the time of delivery for participants in Arm 1, and limited data were also collected from the birth and newborn exam records of their infants. All participants were followed for safety through 4 weeks after the last infusion; Arm 1 participants who were still pregnant at that time had an additional follow-up at the time of delivery. If there was a gap in time between 4 weeks after the last infusion and delivery, no data were collected during that interval. No formal statistical comparisons were made between Arm 1 and Arm 2 for primary and secondary objectives. Therefore, all analyses for primary and secondary outcome measures represent single arm evaluations.

Safety Outcome: Proportion of Participants With Maternal Renal Adverse Event (AE) of Any Grade in Arm 1

Graded according to the Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events (DAIDS AE Grading Table), Corrected Version 2.1, dated July 2017. We present the proportion of participants with at least one maternal renal AE through 7 days post last infusion, bounded by an exact 95% confidence interval (CI). Renal AEs were defined using the MedDRA system organ class term "Renal and urinary disorders" and high level grouping term "Renal and urinary tract investigations and urinalyses". The number of RDV infusions varied by participant.
