Antiviral drugs in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 - the DisCoVeRy trial

Abstract Background Lopinavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir-interferon (IFN)-β-1a and hydroxychloroquine efficacy for COVID-19 have been evaluated, but detailed evaluation is lacking.Objective To determine the efficacy of lopinavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir-IFN-β-1a, hydroxychloroquine or remdesivir for improving the clinical, virological outcomes in COVID-19 inpatients.Design Open-label, randomized, adaptive, controlled trial.Setting Multi-center trial with patients from France.Participants 583 COVID-19 inpatients requiring oxygen and/or ventilatory supportIntervention Standard of care (SoC, control), SoC plus lopinavir/ritonavir (400 mg lopinavir and 100 mg ritonavir every 12h for 14 days), SoC plus lopinavir/ritonavir plus IFN-ß-1a (44 μg of subcutaneous IFN-ß-1a on days 1, 3, and 6), SoC plus hydroxychloroquine (400 mg twice on day 1 then 400 mg once daily for 9 days) or SoC plus remdesivir (200 mg intravenously on day 1 then 100 mg once-daily for hospitalization duration or 10 days).Measurements The primary outcome was the clinical status at day 15, measured by the WHO 7-point ordinal scale. Secondary outcomes included SARS-CoV-2 quantification in respiratory specimens and safety analyses.Results Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) for the WHO 7-point ordinal scale were not in favor of investigational treatments: lopinavir/ritonavirversuscontrol, aOR 0.83, 95%CI, 0.55 to 1.26, P=0.39; lopinavir/ritonavir-IFN-β-1aversuscontrol, aOR 0.69, 95%CI, 0.45 to 1.04, P=0.08; hydroxychloroquineversuscontrol, aOR 0.93, 95%CI, 0.62 to 1.41, P=0.75. No significant effect on SARS-CoV-2 RNA clearance in respiratory tract was evidenced. Lopinavir/ritonavir-containing treatments were significantly associated with more SAE.Limitations Not a placebo-controlled, no anti-inflammatory agents tested.Conclusion No improvement of the clinical status at day 15 nor SARS-CoV-2 RNA clearance in respiratory tract specimens by studied drugs. This comforts the recent Solidarity findings.Registration NCT04315948.Funding PHRC 2020, Dim OneHealth, REACTing.
