Abstract
Background
This study was designed to evaluate if patients with high risk for severe COVID-19 would benefit from treatment with TDF/FTC followed by baricitinib in case of hypoxemia and systemic inflammation.
Methods
PANCOVID is an open-label, double-randomized, phase 3 pragmatic clinical trial including adults with symptomatic COVID-19 with ≥ 2 comorbidities or older than 60 years conducted between 10 October 2020 and 23 September 2021. In the first randomization patients received TDF/FTC or not TDF/FTC. In the second randomization patients with room-air O2 saturation <95% and at least one increased inflammatory biomarker received baricitinib plus dexamethasone or dexamethasone alone. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. Main secondary endpoint was 28-day disease progression or critical care unit admission or mortality. The trial was stopped before reaching planned sample size due to the decrease in th e number of cases and a mortality rate substantially lower than expected EudraCT registration number: 2020-001156-18.
Results
Of the 355 included participants 97% were hospitalized at baseline. Overall, 28-day mortality was 3.1%. The 28-day mortality relative risk (RR) for participants treated with TDF/FTC was 1.76 (95% CI 0.52-5.91; p= 0.379); it was 0.42 (95% CI 0.11-1.59; p= 0.201) for those treated with baricitinib. The 28-day RR for the main secondary combined endpoint for participants treated with TDF/FTC was 0.95 (95% CI 0.66-1.40; p = 0.774); it was 0.90 (95%CI 0.61-1.33; p = 0.687) for those treated with baricitinib.
Conclusions
Our results do not suggest a beneficial effect of TDF/FTC; nevertheless, they are compatible with the beneficial effect of baricitinib already established by other clinical trials.
