WE4YOU

Extra information on the WE4YOU video's

With the inclusion of new sites and countries, the REMAP-CAP family continues to grow. WE4YOU is a 45 minutes montly webinar on Wednesdays at 16:00 (Amsterdam time) to keep you up to date and exchange knowledge on all that is REMAP-CAP. The next webinar will take place on Wednesday 06 October 2021. A different topic is presented each webinar after which there is panel discussion where you can have your questions answered by REMAP-CAP experts.

We look forward to seeing you there! Contact us at eu.remap@umcutrecht.nl for any questions.

Summary of platform conclusions

Inseparable to the design of this trial, platform conclusions are generated through frequent adaptive analyses as data accrues. To date, REMAP-CAP has contributed to the knowledge about the best treatment of COVID-19 with several results:

CORTICOSTEROID DOMAIN

Glucocorticoids improve outcomes for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (1). Results also included in the WHO meta-analysis published in JAMA on the same day (2).

COVID-19 IMMUNE MODULATION DOMAIN

Tocilizumab and sarilumab reduce mortality and prevent progression to invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Results published in the New England Journal of Medicine (5).
Tocilizumab and Sarilumab have reached the statistical trigger for equivalence and are the best interventions in the domain. This domain is paused while the full analysis of all interventions included in this domain, including Anakinra and Interferon-β1a, is being completed.

COVID-19 ANTI-COAGULATION DOMAIN

Therapeutic anticoagulation is futile, and possibly harmful, in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Conclusion from the multi-platform RCT collaboration between REMAP-CAP ATTACC and ACTIV-4, pre-print available from MedRxiv (3)
Therapeutic anticoagulation improves outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who are not admitted to an ICU with organ support. Conclusion from the multi-platform RCT collaboration between REMAP-CAP, ATTACC and ACTIV-4, pre-print available from MedRxiv (4).

COVID-19 IMMUNOGLOBULIN DOMAIN

Convalescent plasma does not improve outcomes for critically ill patients with COVID-19. Shortly after this REMAP-CAP platform conclusion, the RECOVERY trial announced no significant difference in 28-day mortality in that trial. In light of these results, the REMAP-CAP ITSC decided to pause recruitment in the Moderate State of this domain.

COVID-19 ANTIVIRAL DOMAIN

Lopinavir/ritonavir does not improve outcomes for critically ill patients with COVID-19. The manuscript is in preparation.
Hydroxychloroquine does not improve outcomes, and potentially harms patients with COVID-19. Results available in a collaborative meta-analysis as a preprint (6).
