Today, the US FDA revised the emergency use authorization (EUA) of baricitinib (brand name Olumiant), and now authorizes baritinib to be used alone for the treatment of assisted oxygen supply, non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane lung Oxygenation (ECMO) hospitalized adults and pediatric COVID-19 patients 2 years of age or older
.
According to the revised EUA, baritinib no longer needs to be administered with remdesivir (Veklury)
This revision of the EUA of baritinib is supported by data from a clinical trial for COVID-19 hospitalized patients.
The trial showed that compared with patients who received only standard treatment for COVID-19, baritinib was 28% The proportion of patients who died during the follow-up period decreased
.
This clinical study does not require the combination of baritinib and remdesivir, and most patients in the study did not receive remdesivir treatment
The COV-BARRIER study in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (NCT04421027) in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection compared baritinib 4 mg once daily (n=764) with placebo (N=761) Treatment
.
Patients can continue to receive standard treatment as defined by local guidelines, including antimalarials, antivirals, corticosteroids, and/or azithromycin
Although the revised EUA no longer requires baritinib and remdesivir to be used together, the FDA’s authorization indicates that the COV-BARRIER trial that supports this revision did not trigger any concerns about baritinib and remdesivir.
The combined use of Wei to treat the safety or efficacy of COVID-19 patients who need auxiliary oxygen, non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO to be hospitalized
.
Remdesivir was previously approved by the FDA in October 2020 for the treatment of adults and children (12 years and older, weighing at least 40 kg) COVID-19 patients who need to be hospitalized
.
In November 2020, the FDA granted an EUA for the combination therapy of baritinib and remdesivir for adults and children with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 who require assisted oxygen supply, invasive mechanical ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( 2 years old or older) emergency use for hospitalized patients
