This phase II trial tests how well remdesivir works for treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection of the upper respiratory tract in patients receiving cellular or bispecific antibody therapy. Cellular or bispecific antibody therapies cause suppression of the immune system, making infections more frequent and reducing the body's ability to fight the infections. RSV infections are one of the most common respiratory infections in immunocompromised individuals and can cause significant pneumonia and even death. Remdesivir is in a class of medications called antivirals. It works by stopping viruses from spreading in the body.
OUTLINE: Patients receive remdesivir intravenously (IV) over 30-120 minutes on days 1-5, with the option to extend to day 10 at the investigator's discretion, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo nasal swabs and blood sample collection throughout the study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up on day 14 and 29.

RECRUITINGProportion of participants requiring ≥ 2 liters/minute of oxygen for ≥ 24 consecutive hours
Will be estimated with 95% Wilson confidence intervals.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and laboratory abnormalities
Will consider using time-to-event methods such as cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Incidence of serious adverse events and AEs leading to study drug discontinuation
Will consider using time-to-event methods such as cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Proportion of participants with RSV-related hospitalization (if not hospitalized at the time of first dose) or death
Will consider using time-to-event methods such as cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Supplemental oxygen free days
Defined as days alive and not requiring ≥ 2 liters/minute of supplemental oxygen. Will be compared between cohorts using weighted least squares linear regression with propensity score weights.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Proportion of participants who develop new or worsening pulmonary infiltrates
Based on radiographic imaging of the lungs for standard of care.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Proportion of participants requiring high-flow nasal cannula, non-invasive ventilation, or invasive mechanical ventilation for ≥ 24 consecutive hours
Will consider using time-to-event methods such as cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Proportion of participants admitted to intensive care unit
Will consider using time-to-event methods such as cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Proportion of participants who die
Will consider using time-to-event methods such as cumulative incidence curves and Cox proportional hazards regression.
Time frame: Up to day 29
Change from baseline in RSV nasal swab viral load
Will be computed among participants with baseline nasal viral loads ≥ the lower limit of quantitation and compared between cohorts using linear regression with propensity score weights.
Time frame: From baseline through day 3 and 5
Maximum daily Respiratory Infection Intensity and Impact Questionnaire (RiiQ) score
The RiiQ is a 13-item questionnaire, with each item representing a different RSV-associated symptom and graded on a 4-point scale (0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, and 3 = Severe). Greater scores indicate greater symptom severity. Recall period is the past 24 hours.
Time frame: From baseline to day 29
