Early Outpatient Treatment With Remdesivir in Patients at High Risk for Severe COVID-19 : A Prospective Cohort Study
© The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Infectious Diseases Society of America..
Background: Early treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with remdesivir in high-risk patients, including those with immunosuppression of different causes, has not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness of early remdesivir treatment among patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 at high risk of progression.
Methods: This prospective cohort comparative study was conducted in a tertiary referral center in Mexico City. Patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 at high risk for progression were treated with an ambulatory 3-day course of remdesivir. The primary efficacy composite outcome was hospitalization or death at 28 days after symptom onset. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify associations with the primary outcome.
Results: From December 1, 2021, to April 30, 2022, a total of 196 high-risk patients were diagnosed with COVID-19, of whom 126 were included in this study (43%, 54/126, received remdesivir; 57%, 72/126, did not receive remdesivir). Baseline clinical characteristics were similar between groups; autoimmune diseases (39/126), solid organ transplant (31/126), and malignant neoplasms (24/126) were the most common immunocompromising conditions. Diabetes mellitus was strongly associated with the primary outcome in both groups. Prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection or vaccination was not independently associated with COVID-19 progression. Treatment with remdesivir significantly reduced the odds of hospitalization or death (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.06-0.44; P < .01).
Conclusions: Early outpatient treatment with remdesivir significantly reduces hospitalization or death by 84% in high-risk, majority immunosuppressed patients with Omicron variant COVID-19.
