2. Additional methods

2.1 Additional information about REMAP-CAP general design

REMAP-CAP is an international, multicenter, open-label adaptive platform trial to determine

best treatment strategies for patients with severe pneumonia in both pandemic and non-

pandemic settings. A full description of the trial design is provided elsewhere1 and below is

a short summary.

The trial uses a novel design entitled a randomized embedded multifactorial adaptive

platform (REMAP).2 The design has five key features: randomization, allowing causal

inference; embedding of study procedures into routine clinical care, facilitating enrollment

and generalizability; a multifactorial statistical model comparing multiple interventions

across multiple patient subgroups; response-adaptive randomization with preferential

assignment to those interventions that appear most favorable after interim analyses, and; a

platform structured to permit continuous, potentially perpetual, enrollment.

Once the Covid-19 outbreak began a new pandemic stratum was added within REMAP-CAP.

Specifically, all patients hospitalized with suspected or proven Covid-19 are assigned to the

pandemic stratum. They are further classified as being in either moderate or severe disease

state. Severe disease state is defined by receiving respiratory or cardiovascular organ failure

support in an intensive care unit (ICU). All other hospitalized patients are defined as being in

the moderate state.

This report relates to the analysis of the interleukin-6 receptor antagonists in the Immune

Modulation Therapy domain up to November 19, 2020. Other domains open to

• Covid-19 Immunoglobulin domain

• Therapeutic Anticoagulation domain

• Macrolide Duration domain

• Vitamin C domain

• Anti-platelet domain

• Statin Therapy domain

2.2 REMAP-CAP Eligibility Criteria for suspected or proven Covid-19

Platform inclusion criteria:

• Adult patient admitted to hospital with acute illness due to suspected or proven

pandemic (Covid-19) infection

Platform exclusion criteria:

• Death is deemed to be imminent and inevitable during the next 24 hours AND one or

more of the patient, substitute decision maker or attending physician are not

committed to full active treatment

• Patient is expected to be discharged from hospital today or tomorrow

• More than 14 days have elapsed while admitted to hospital with symptoms of an

acute illness due to suspected or proven pandemic infection

• Previous participation in this REMAP within the last 90 days

Immune Modulation Therapy domain specific inclusion criteria:

• Severe disease state, defined by receiving respiratory or cardiovascular organ failure

support in an intensive care unit (ICU).

a. Respiratory organ support is defined as invasive or non-invasive mechanical

ventilation including via high flow nasal cannula if flow rate >30 L/min and

FIO2 >0.4. If non-invasive ventilation would normally be provided but is being

withheld, due to infection control concerns associated with aerosol

Page 22: Supplementary Appendixhbiostat.org/papers/Bayes/particularTrials/rem21int-supp.pdf · Supplementary Appendix This appendix has been provided by the authors to give readers additional

21

generating procedures, then the patient still meets the severe disease state

criteria.

b. Cardiovascular organ support was defined as the intravenous infusion of any

vasopressor or inotrope.

c. Pandemic surge capacity means that provision of advanced organ support

may need to occur in locations that do not usually provide ICU-level care.

Therefore, an ICU is defined as an area within the hospital that is repurposed

so as to be able to deliver one or more of the qualifying organ failure

supports (non-invasive ventilation, invasive ventilation, and vasopressor

therapy)

• Microbiological testing for SARS-CoV-2 of upper or lower respiratory tract secretions

or both has occurred or is intended to occur

Immune Modulation Therapy domain specific exclusion criteria:

• More than 24 hours has elapsed since ICU admission

• Patient has already received any dose of one or more of any form of interferon,

anakinra, tocilizumab, or sarilumab during this hospitalization or is on long-term

therapy with any of these agents prior to this hospital admission

• Known condition or treatment resulting in ongoing immune suppression including

neutropenia prior to this hospitalization

• Patient has been randomized in a trial evaluating an immune modulation agent for

proven or suspected Covid-19 infection, where the protocol of that trial requires

ongoing administration of study drug

• The treating clinician believes that participation in the domain would not be in the

best interests of the patient

Intervention specific exclusion criteria:

• Known hypersensitivity to an agent specified as an intervention in this domain will

exclude a patient from receiving that agent

• Intention to prescribe systemic corticosteroids for any reason, other than

participation in the Corticosteroid domain of this platform, will result in exclusion

from receiving IFN-β1a

Page 23: Supplementary Appendixhbiostat.org/papers/Bayes/particularTrials/rem21int-supp.pdf · Supplementary Appendix This appendix has been provided by the authors to give readers additional

22

• Known hypersensitivity to proteins produced by E. coli will result in exclusion from

receiving anakinra

• Known or suspected pregnancy will result in exclusion from the anakinra, IFN-β1a,

tocilizumab, and sarilumab interventions. It is normal clinical practice that women

admitted who are in an age group in which pregnancy is possible will have a

pregnancy test conducted. The results of such tests will be used to determine

interpretation of this exclusion criteria.

• A baseline alanine aminotransferase or an aspartate aminotransferase that is more

than five times the upper limit of normal will result in exclusion from receiving

tocilizumab or sarilumab

• A baseline platelet count < 50 x 109 / L will result in exclusion from receiving

tocilizumab or sarilumab

2.2 Additional Statistical Methods:

Secondary outcomes:

• Hospital mortality / survival (dichotomous)

• 90-day survival (time to event)

• Respiratory support-free days

• Cardiovascular support-free days

• Time to ICU discharge

• Time to hospital discharge

• WHO ordinal scale (range: 0-8, where 0 = no illness, 1-7 = increasing level of care,

and 8 = death) assessed at day 14.3 In this analysis categories 0,1,2 have been

condensed into one category for all patients discharge from hospital.

• Progression to invasive mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane

oxygenation (ECMO), or death among those not ventilated at baseline

Analysis populations:

The primary analysis was conducted on all severe state patients with Covid-19 randomized

to any domain allowing maximal incorporation of all information, providing the most robust

estimation of the coefficients of all covariates. As the primary model included information

Page 24: Supplementary Appendixhbiostat.org/papers/Bayes/particularTrials/rem21int-supp.pdf · Supplementary Appendix This appendix has been provided by the authors to give readers additional

23

about assignment to interventions within domains whose evaluation is ongoing and blinded

to the investigators, the primary analysis was run by the fully unblinded Statistical Analysis

Committee (SAC), who conduct all protocol-specified trial update analyses and report those

results to the DSMB.

In addition to the primary analysis conducted by the Statistical Analysis Committee, analysis

of the primary outcome was then repeated in a second model using only data from those

patients enrolled in those domains that had ceased recruitment, Corticosteroid domain and

Covid-19 Antiviral domain, as well as those patients randomised in the Immune Modulation

Therapy domain; the Unblinded Intention To Treat (ITT) population. For this analysis there

was no adjustment for assignment to interventions in other ongoing domains. These

analyses were conducted by the investigator team who remain blinded to on-going domains

and interventions in the platform.

Further secondary analyses explored the effects of excluding patients who were ruled out

for Covid-19 (defined as documented negative tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection and no

positive tests). As described in the main text the analytical model includes a site covariate

term. The site covariate adjusts for site-level differences in the distribution of organ

support-free days that may be due to the patient characteristics or standard treatment

practices at the site. If a site was not taking part in the Immune Modulation Therapy

domain, these patients would not be included as controls in the analysis. If a site recruiting

in the Immune Modulation Therapy domain did not have tocilizumab or sarilumab available,

then those patients allocated to “no immune modulation” would be controls in the primary

model, adjusted for site, time and other effects. We therefore also carried out other

sensitivity analyses including only those patients randomised directly to tocilizumab or

sarilumab versus control and without any interactions from other domains (IL-6 RA specific

Page 25: Supplementary Appendixhbiostat.org/papers/Bayes/particularTrials/rem21int-supp.pdf · Supplementary Appendix This appendix has been provided by the authors to give readers additional

24

ITT population) and a subset of this population treated as per protocol (IL-6 RA per protocol

population)

One subgroup was defined in the statistical analysis plan, dividing patients into terciles

according to serum C-reactive protein levels at study inclusion.

Various sensitivity analyses were conducted including less informative standard normal

priors on pre-specified interactions excluding adjustment for site and time epoch, and

alternative coding of steroid interventions after closure of the corticosteroid domain.

Identical analyses were conducted to estimate the effect on mortality, except the outcome

was dichotomous (alive or dead at hospital discharge).

There was no imputation of missing outcomes in either primary or secondary analyses.

Cases were excluded on an analysis-by-analysis basis, i.e. patients missing outcome data

were included in treatment compliance and safety analyses. The secondary outcomes were

also analysed in the unblinded ITT model. The time-to-death and length of stay outcomes

were time-to-event analyses and used a piecewise exponential Bayesian model to estimate

hazard ratios. The primary safety analysis compared the proportion of patients who

developed one or more serious adverse events across groups.

3. Additional Results

Site Participation in the Immune Modulation Domain

During the study period, April 19 to November 19, 2020, 125 sites were open for enrollment

in the Immune Modulation Domain. There were 113 sites in six countries open to

randomisation for tocilizumab and / or sarilumab, 98 sites in the UK, 7 in The Netherlands, 3

in Australia, 2 in New Zealand, 2 in Ireland and 1 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Platform exclusions:

From the patient flow figure 1

764 patients were excluded from the REMAP-CAP platform, severe state:

2 - Prior enrollment in REMAP-CAP within 90 days 5 - No lower respiratory signs or symptoms * 11 - No radiological infiltrate * 318 - No qualifying organ support in ICU 375 - Exceeded platform eligibility time windows 32 - Death deemed imminent and inevitable 136 - Other

* = exclusion criteria from the original core protocol for community acquired pneumonia,

but dropped once Covid-19 specific amendments described in the Pandemic Appendix to

Core protocol were implemented (see protocol). Patients could be excluded for more than

one reason.

In addition, 208 patients were potentially eligible for the platform, were screened for

inclusion in the Immune Modulation Therapy domain but were excluded and not included in

the platform in any other domain

2 - Samples for Covid-19 not taken or intended 95 - Admitted to ICU >24 hours earlier 2 - Already received immune modulation during hospital admission

Page 27: Supplementary Appendixhbiostat.org/papers/Bayes/particularTrials/rem21int-supp.pdf · Supplementary Appendix This appendix has been provided by the authors to give readers additional

26

19 - Known immune suppression 6 - Enrolled in another trial 22 - Contraindication to agents in domain ^ 15 - Not considered in patient’s best interests 107 - Prospective consent declined

^ Contraindications include hypersensitivity, raised ALT/AST, or thrombocytopenia, or

pregnancy

Additional analyses:

The additional analyses specified in the statistical analysis plan are provided in the “ITSC

Secondary Analysis Report” appendix to this supplement, with the exception of the anti-viral

interactions with immune modulation interventions. The Covid-19 antiviral primary analysis

has not yet been completed or reported, and these treatment interactions will be included in

that subsequent report. Provided below are the sensitivity analyses of the primary outcome

(organ support-free days and hospital survival), with patients with only PCR negative tests

removed and with no treatment interactions included (Table S3). There was one additional

post-hoc analysis undertaken and presented that does not use any borrowing between the

two IL-6 receptor antagonists, tocilizumab and sarilumab (Table S4). In this model they are no

longer “nested”.

Table S5 and S6 provide the odds ratios (OR) and 95% CrI for each parameter in the second

model using data from those patients enrolled in those domains that had ceased recruitment,

Corticosteroid domain and Covid-19 Antiviral domain, as well as those patients randomised

in the Immune Modulation Therapy domain; the Unblinded ITT population.

The pre-specified C-reactive protein (CRP) subgroup analysis is in Table S8. The cut points of

CRP terciles were 102 and 187 µg/ml. Table S9 provides post-hoc subgroup analyses

according to mechanical ventilation status at baseline.

The odds ratio (OR) effects for pre-specified combinations of interventions from the Immune Modulation Therapy and Corticosteroid domains are reported relative to control. These ORs incorporate the effect of each individual intervention and the interaction term for the combination of interventions. OR effects for pre-specified interaction effects are reported relative to and additive effect. For example, if an interaction effect OR is equal to 1, the combination of interventions is additive (equal to the sum of the effects of the two interventions taken separately). If an interaction OR is greater than 1, the effect of the combination of interventions is synergistic (greater than the sum of the effects of the two interventions taken separately). If the interaction OR is less than 1, the effect of the combination is sub-additive (less than the sum of the effects of the two interventions taken separately).

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview of the Adaptive Design

This trial is a Randomized, Embedded, Multifactorial Adaptive Platform (REMAP) trial that was originallydesigned to investigate treatments for Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). The platform trial has theability to investigate multiple interventions within multiple domains, across di↵erent patient strata. Thenumber of interventions, domains, and strata may increase or decrease as the trial progresses. The platformtrial includes a pandemic stratum that was activated when COVID-19 emerged. The pandemic stratum-specific protocol details are provided in a Pandemic Appendix to the Core (PAtC) protocol. The PAtCinvestigates therapies for patients with pandemic infection that are classified as suspected or proven (PISOP).This report focuses on the COVID-19 PISOP stratum.

For the PISOP stratum, patients may be randomized to interventions while they are in a Severe disease stateor a Moderate disease state. State definitions are in the PAtC. Patients initially randomized in a Moderatestate may progress in their disease severity, and subsequently meet the criteria for Severe state, and haveadditional randomization and reveal of interventions for Severe state domains.

1.2 Purpose of this Report

The international trial steering committee (ITSC) halted randomization to the standard of care (control)intervention in the COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain in the Severe PISOP stratum following thedisclosure from the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) that the tocilizumab intervention, an IL-6 receptor antagonist, had met the pre-specified threshold for e�cacy. The REMAP-CAP ITSC publiclydisclosed the e�cacy of Tocilizumab on November 19, 2020 and started a process for reporting results. TheITSC prepared a statistical analysis plan (SAP) for the tocilizumab analysis and provided this plan to theStatistical Analysis Committee (SAC). When the full analysis was performed, the sarilumab intervention,also an IL-6 receptor antagonist, met the pre-specified threshold for e�cacy. Thus, as set forth in the SAP,both sarilumab and tocilizumab are included in the analysis and reporting.

Although the ITSC will be unblinded to the tocilizumab, sarilumab, and control interventions within theCOVID-19 Immune Modulation domain, they will not be unblinded to the other interventions within thedomain, nor to the other domains to which patients have been randomized (except the corticosteroid andCOVID-19 antiviral domains, which were previously closed). The fully unblinded SAC performed the set ofanalyses that use the full statistical model including data from all domains in the Severe PISOP stratum.This report summarizes the data and the results for tocilizumab and sarilumab resulting from the analysesusing the full statistical model. This report is restricted to summaries and results pertaining to the unblindedinterventions. Summaries and results for other ongoing interventions and other domains are contained in aseparate unblinded report only viewed by the SAC and DSMB.

1.3 Endpoints

1.3.1 Primary Endpoint: Organ-Support Free-Days (OSFD)

The primary endpoint is organ support-free days (OSFD) (days alive and free of ICU-based respiratory orcardiovascular support) within 21 days, where patients who die before discharge from the index hospitaliza-tion, and before day 90, were assigned a �1 day, even if the death occurred after day 21. The cumulativehours of organ support are computed and then rounded to the nearest day. Patients who receive no organsupport in an ICU will be coded as 22 days. An outcome of 22 days is not possible for patients in Severestate. An outcome of 21 organ-support free-days is only possible in the Severe state if the patient had lessthan 12 hours of organ support.

1.3.2 Secondary Endpoint: In-Hospital Mortality

The secondary endpoint is a dichotomous endpoint of in-hospital mortality, i.e. those patients with a �1 forthe OSFD endpoint.

1.4 Vocabulary

• Domain: a specific set of competing alternative interventions within a common clinical mode

• Intervention: is a treatment option that is subject to variation in clinical practice (comparativee↵ectiveness intervention) or has been proposed for introduction into clinical practice (experimentalintervention) and also is being subjected to experimental manipulation within the design of a REMAP.

• Regimen: Each patient is assigned a single intervention from each domain. The regimen is thecombination of assigned interventions across the domains.

• Immediate Reveal Domain: is one for which all participants are eligible, the allocation status ismade known, and the intervention is initiated at the time of randomization.

• Delayed Reveal Domain: is one for which all participants received a randomization assignment, butthe allocation status is only made known and the intervention initiated if and when eligibility occurs.This occurs for example, when a domain is appropriate only for patients in a certain disease state andthe patient transitions to that disease state.

• Deferred Reveal Domain: is one for which patients receive a randomization assignment and theallocation status is made known based on eligibility criterion known at the time of randomization,but additional information to assess that eligibility becomes known after some time. This occurs forexample, when a test results confirming an eligibiltiy criterion are returned after some time.

• Nest: A grouping of interventions within a domain that are modeled hierarchically in order to allowfor borrowing among the interventions e↵ect estimates.

• State: Defined by the disease characteristics of the patient and may change over time as the diseaseprogresses. States are used to define eligibility for certain domains.

1.5 Current Trial Status

The data transfers provided to the SAC (see Section 7 for details) include all patients randomized to the trial(including both the pandemic and non-pandemic strata) through December 17, 2020 from the combined Spiraland Research Online databases. The UPMC transfer was received December 13, 2020, but only includespatients randomized through November 19, 2020. These data include:

• 3744 total randomized, consented patients in the REMAP-CAP/REMAP-COVID trial, with:

– 3036 randomized, consented patients with pandemic infection suspected or proven (PISOP),

‘ 2696 PISOP patients initially randomized while in Severe disease state.

‘ 340 PISOP patients initially randomized while in Moderate disease state,

· 14 PISOP patients initially randomized while in Moderate disease state that later metthe criteria for Severe disease state and had additional randomization for Severe statedomains,

– 708 randomized, consented patients with pandemic infection neither suspected nor proven (PIN-SNP).

These counts exclude patients that withdrew consent for the use of their data. The patients who withdrewconsent do not appear in the SAC data export, so no information is available to the SAC regarding when inthe process (e.g. before or after eligibility assessment) consent was withdrawn.

Figure 1.1 gives an overview of the interventions, domains, and strata currently being investigated in theCOVID-19 pandemic portion of the trial. Each intervention is represented by a colored box, with similarcolors used for interventions within the same domain. The figure also indicates features of the statisticalmodel. For example, interactions are represented with an arrow and star (H). Within a domain, interventionsthat are nested within a hierarchical model are grouped within a curly bracket. Interventions that are closedto enrollment are indicated by an “X”. Table 1.1 is a companion to the current state figure, and providesthe mapping of intervention codes to the actual intervention names (e.g. X2 = Lopinavir/ritonavir).

1.6 Analysis Population

This report restricts the analysis population to consented patients with pandemic infection suspected orproven (PISOP) that were randomized for the first time in Severe disease state (excluding patients firstrandomized in Moderate state that progressed to Severe state) on or before 12:00 UTC on November 19,2020. This population is defined as the REMAP-CAP COVID-19 severe state ITT population. Thepatient population breakdown is as follows:

REMAP-CAP (REMAP-COVID) January 5, 2021

• 2328 PISOP consented patients randomized to at least one domain in any disease state (Moderate orSevere) on or before 12:00 UTC on November 19, 2020.

– 1991 PISOP consented patients randomized initially in Severe disease state (never randomized inModerate state) to at least one domain on or before 12:00 UTC on November 19, 2020

‘ 1928 PISOP consented patients randomized initially in Severe disease state (never randomizedin Moderate state) to at least one domain on or before 12:00 UTC on November 19, 2020 forwhom 21 days have elapsed since randomization and there is a known outcome on the 21-dayorgan-support free-days endpoint

– 865 PISOP consented patients randomized initially in Severe disease state (never randomizedin Moderate state) to the COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain on or before 12:00 UTC onNovember 19, 2020

‘ 853 PISOP consented patients randomized initially in Severe disease state (never randomizedin Moderate state) to the COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain on or before 12:00 UTC onNovember 19, 2020 for whom 21 days have elapsed since randomization and there is a knownoutcome on the 21-day organ-support free-days endpoint

Thus the analysis model is run on the 1928 PISOP Severe patients for whom 21 days have elapsed sincerandomization and there is a known outcome on the 21-day OSFD endpoint. This count excludes 14 patientswho were initially randomized while in Moderate State and later progressed to Severe State with additionalrandomized assignments for Severe state domains.

2 Data Summaries

2.1 Overview of Descriptive Data Summaries

Data for the Severe PISOP patient population will be summarized, both across all Severe state PISOPpatients (without respect to intervention assignments), and at the intervention level for the unblinded inter-ventions in the COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain. A description of each of the summary tables andfigures is provided here.

Summary of the availability of data:

• Number Eligible: Eligibility is assessed both at the domain level and the intervention level. Wetabulate the number of patients eligible for the domain, and within each category of domain eligibility,the number of patients eligible for each intervention. Eligibility captures both the patient meeting theinclusion criteria, and the domain or intervention being available and active at their site.

• Number Assigned: We tabulate the number of patients assigned to each intervention, by eligibilitycategory. No randomized assignment can be given when a patient is ineligible for a domain, or whena patient is eligible for only one intervention within a domain. A patient must be eligible for at leasttwo interventions within a domain to receive a randomized assignment.

• Number Revealed: Among the patients eligible and assigned to each intervention, we tabulate thenumber of patients whose assignment was revealed. Reveal means that the randomization assignmentwas made known and the patient then commences treatment according to their assigned intervention.

• Number Past 21 Days: Among the patients eligible and assigned to each intervention, we tabulatethe number of patients who have had the opportunity to complete the 21 days of follow-up for theprimary endpoint. A patient must have been in the trial at least 21 days to be included in the analysis.

• Number Missing: Among the patients eligible and assigned to each intervention, we tabulate thenumber of patients who have completed 21 days of follow-up but do not have an outcome available onthe primary endpoint.

REMAP-CAP (REMAP-COVID) January 5, 2021

• Number Known: Among the patients eligible and assigned to each intervention, we tabulate thenumber of patients who have completed 21 days of follow-up and have a known outcome on theprimary endpoint.

• For the subjects that are eligible for the domain, a bar chart summarizes the number and percent ofpatients assigned to each intervention.

Summary of the observed outcomes data:

For patients that are eligible for the domain and assigned to an intervention, we repeat the tabulation ofthe number of patients assigned to an intervention and with a known outcome on the 21-day endpoint.Additionally, we provide summaries of the following:

• Number Deaths: The number of in-hospital deaths, where the death corresponds to �1 on the OSFDendpoint.

• Mortality Rate: We calculate the observed in-hospital mortality rate as the number of in-hospitaldeaths out of the total number of patients with a known 21-day outcome.

• OSFD median (IQR): Among the patients with a known 21-day outcome, we compute the 25th,50th, and 75th percentiles of the Organ-Support Free-Days endpoint. The interquartile range (IQR)is shown in parentheses as the range between the 25th and 75th percentiles.

• Conditional OSFD: Among the patients with a known 21-day outcome that were not deceased,we compute the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the Organ-Support Free-Days endpoint. Theinterquartile range (IQR) is shown in parentheses as the range between the 25th and 75th percentiles.

• For the subjects that are eligible for the domain, we show a plot of the cumulative distribution functionfor the OSFD endpoint for each intervention within the domain.

• For the subjects that are eligible for the domain, we show a stacked bar plot for the OSFD outcomesfor each intervention within the domain. Red represents worse outcomes and blue represents betteroutcomes.

2.2 Overall Severe State Summaries

Figure 2.1 displays the distribution of outcomes on the primary endpoint for all patients in the analysispopulation (across all domains), without respect to treatment assignments.

2.3 COVID-19 Immune Modulation Domain

2.3.1 Description of the COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain

The COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain includes a total of 5 interventions. This domain:

• has closed randomization to the control arm, Y1 (no immune modulation). Randomization continuesto the remaining active interventions in the domain. Because 2 interventions (Anakinra and Interferon-Beta-1a) are still actively being investigated, they are collapsed into an “other immune modulation”category in this report to preserve the blind;

• is an immediate reveal domain with immediate initiation of the randomized assignment, unless prospec-tive agreement to participate is required, in which case it is deferred reveal domain;

• has no strata identified as being of interest. Analyses and response adaptive randomization are appliedto all randomized patients in Severe State;

• has possible interactions modeled with the corticosteroid domain; A previous study suggested thatthe interaction of interferon-� and corticosteroids may be harmful; therefore an informative prior isused to reflect a harmful interaction. Furthermore, initial (burn-in) randomization probabilities wereconstructed to limit the number of patients randomized to the combination of corticosteroids andinterfereon-�;

• has one nest, comprised of tocilizumab and sarilumab, which are both interleukin-6 inhibitors;

• enforces a minimum marginal RAR probability of 0.05 for each active intervention within the domain.

3 Analysis Results and Conclusions

3.1 Definition of Statistical Triggers

The adpative design defines several statistical triggers within the trial, that at any analysis of the trial wouldresult in public disclosure and declaration of a platform conclusion. The following statistical triggers weredefined for the COVID-19 Immune Modulation domain:

1. Domain Superiority. If a single intervention within a domain has at least a 99% posterior probabilityof being in the best regimen for patients in the severe state of the PISOP stratum, this would triggersuperiority of that intervention.

2. Intervention E�cacy. If an intervention is deemed to have at least a 99% posterior probability ofbeing superior to the control, then a declaration of e�cacy of that intervention would be declared.This statistical trigger is active for each of the non-control arms in the domain.

3. Intervention Equivalence. If two non-control interventions have a 90% probability of equivalence— that is, that the odds ratio comparing the two interventions is between 0.83 (inverse of 1/1.2 and1.2) /textemdash , then a declaration of intervention equivalence would be made.

4. Intervention Futility. If an intervention is deemed to have less than 5% posterior probability ofat least a 20% odds ratio improvement compared to the control, then a declaration of futility of thatintervention would be declared. This statistical trigger is active for each of the non-control arms in thedomain.

5. Intervention Inferiority. If an intervention has low posterior probability of being the optimalintervention within a state, then that intervention will be deemed inferior. Specifically, an interventionis considered inferior if the probability of being the optimal intervention is less than 0.01/(Jd � 1),where Jd is the number of interventions within the domain. For the COVID-19 Immune Modulationdomain, there were initially J = 5 interventions. Since the closure of the control arm, there are nowJ = 4 interventions in the domain.

3.2 Overview of the model results

The OSFD endpoint is an ordered categorical endpoint that is modeled with a cumulative logistic model.The median and 95% Bayesian credible intervals for the odds-ratios are presented for each intervention,

relative to the control intervention in the domain. The model is structured so that an odds-ratio greaterthan 1 implies patient benefit. We also present the posterior mean and standard deviation, but caution thatthe mean tends to be higher than the median due to the skewed nature of the posterior distribution.

REMAP-CAP (REMAP-COVID) January 5, 2021

3.3.4 Sensitivity analysis of the proportional odds assumption

An assumption of the ordinal logistic regression model being used to analyze OSFD is that e↵ects havea proportional e↵ect on log-odds. That is, a treatment e↵ect that increases the log-odds of OSFD beinggreater than X is the same for all values of X. In order to assess this modeling assumption, a logisticregression model is fit to dichotomized versions of the OSFD values ( X versus > X) across the possiblerange of OSFD values, to see if the estimated treatment e↵ect is nearly constant. The prior distribution forthe dichotomized outcomes is constructed in like manner, converting the Dirichlet distribution across OSFDvalues to a Beta distribution by summing across the parameter values for the corresponding OSFD ranges.

The logistic regression model is subject to poor estimation when categories in the model contain only asingle outcome type (e.g. all observations are X). With the large number of covariate e↵ects being usedin the current model, some categories of these covariate crossings may contain single outcomes, particularlyas the dichotomization goes to the higher end of the OSFD values with low frequencies. The Bayesian modeluses informative priors and thus a model fit can always be constructed. However, because many of the priordistributions in the model are relatively non-informative, the MCMC fitting algorithms can perform poorlyin the more extreme dichotomizations. Some poor MCMC behavior was observed for dichotomizations at� 15 OSFD and higher.

sTime Machine Intervals

Figure 4.3: Accrual over time and distribution of patients within each of the time buckets used to estimatetime trends in the analysis model. The time buckets are derived so that the first bucket is the most recentmonth going backwards in time from the most recently randomized patient in the dataset that has an outcome.Thereafter, each bucket is defined as the next two-week interval backwards in time. The total height of each barrepresents the number of patients in each category. The darker shaded area indicates the number of patientsfor whom 21 days have elapsed since randomization and have a known OSFD outcome. The lighter shaded areaindicates the number of patients who do not have a known OSFD outcome. The vertical dashed line indicatesthe randomization date for the last patient who has past 21 days and has a known outcome on the primaryendpoint at the time of this analysis.

REMAP-CAP (REMAP-COVID) January 5, 2021

5 Analysis Conventions

The following conventions were applied to the analyses contained in this report:

• The ITSC closed randomization to the Corticosteroid domain within the PISOP stratum on June 17,2020. This decision was made following the release of the RECOVERY trial results on June 16, 2020which reported strong positive e↵ects of dexamethasone. Following this decision, the results from theCorticosteroid domain in REMAP-CAP were publicly disclosed. Patients who are randomized withinthe PISOP stratum after June 17 receive no randomized assignment within the Corticosteroid domain;however it is asssumed they likely receive fixed duration steroid. Thus, for the statistical model, patientsrandomized after June 17 are coded identically to patients randomized to fixed duration steroid.

• All sites within a country that have < 5 patients randomized in the analysis population will have theirresults combined into a single site within that country.

• For the estimation of time trends in the model, time buckets with < 5 patients randomized within thebucket were combined with a neighboring bucket.

• Patients with no randomized assignment in any domain were removed from the analysis population.

• Data provided to the SAC only include patients who consented for use of their data.

• Some patients for whom 21 days have elapsed since randomization have missing 21-day OSFD outcomesin the data export. A supplemental file was provided to the SAC in which some additional outcomedata was obtained based on a manual review.

• For unique patient identifiers that exist in both the Research Online and Spiral databases, we generallypull the eligibility and randomization information from the Spiral database and the outcomes from theResearch Online database. If outcomes were reported in both places, the reported outcome in Spiralwas selected per instructions from the global project manager for the trial (email dated August 6,2020).

6 Model Stability

The Bayesian model was computed in R version 4.0.3 (2020-10-10), using the rstan package version 2.21.0.This package computes the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) using the highly e�cient HamiltonianMonte Carlo method. The MCMC used 5 separate chains, with each chain using a burnin of 500 samples,followed by 2000 samples, for a total of 10000 samples. Convergence diagnostics were assessed, and noconcerns regarding mixing or convergence were identified. All R̂ values were less than 1.05. All model runsused a random number seed of 10252020 for the MCMC initialization.

1 Introduc on

This report summarizes the data and the results for the IL-6ra interven on analyses run by the ITSC analysis com-

mi ee. The ITSC analysis commi ee is blinded to all ongoing domains and interven ons in REMAP-CAP.

1.1 Analysis Popula ons

The SAP for the IL-6ra interven ons outlines five popula ons in which analyses will be performed. This report in-

cludes analysis results for four of the five analysis popula ons. The analysis results for the REMAP-CAP COVID-19 se-

vere state intent-to-treat (ITT) popula on are not included in this report since the ITSC analysis commi ee remains

blinded to ongoing domains and interven ons. Results for the REMAP-CAP COVID-19 severe state intent-to-treat

(ITT) popula on are included in a separate report prepared by the fully unblinded Sta s cal Analysis Commi ee

(SAC). In this report, tables and figures summarize data in the IL-6ra specific ITT popula on. Thus, the figures/tables

in this report may differ from those in the SAC report based on the difference in popula on defini on. In this report,

we summarize analysis results from the following four analysis popula ons:

1. The Unblinded ITT popula on is defined as all pa ents randomized to tocilizumab, sarilumab or no immune

modula on (control) in the Immune Modula on Therapy Domain, the Cor costeroid Domain, or the An -

Viral Domain within the pandemic stratum. The unblinded ITT popula on consists of 1293 pa ents. There

are 22 pa ents within this popula on that are missing values of OSFD and in-hospital mortality.

• 406 pa ents randomized to no immune modula on (control) of which 401 have known OSFD outcomes

• 353 pa ents randomized to tocilizumab of which 350 have known OSFD outcomes

• 48 pa ents randomized to sarilumab of which 45 have known OSFD outcomes

• 381 pa ents randomized to the cor costeroid domain of which 380 have known OSFD outcomes

• 694 pa ents randomized to the an viral domain of which 677 have known OSFD outcomes.

2. The Unblinded non-nega ve COVID-19 popula on is defined as all pa ents in the Unblinded ITT popula on

a er removing those with >1 nega ve test for COVID-19 and no posi ve tests. The unblinded ITT popula on

restricted to non-nega ve COVID-19 consists of 1136 pa ents. There are 21 pa ents within this popula on

that are missing values of OSFD and in-hospital mortality.

• 365 pa ents randomized to no immune modula on (control) of which 360 have known OSFD outcomes

• 314 pa ents randomized to tocilizumab of which 311 have known OSFD outcomes

• 47 pa ents randomized to sarilumab of which 44 have known OSFD outcomes

• 315 pa ents randomized to the cor costeroid domain of which 314 have known OSFD outcomes

• 619 pa ents randomized to the an viral domain of which 603 have known OSFD outcomes

3. The IL-6ra specific ITT popula on consists of only pa ents eligible to be randomized to an IL-6ra that were

randomized to tocilizumab, sarilumab or the no immunemodula on interven on in the ImmuneModula on

Therapy Domain within the pandemic stratum. The IL-6ra specific ITT popula on consists of 803 pa ents.

There are 11 pa ents within this popula on that are missing values of OSFD and in-hospital mortality.

• 402 pa ents randomized to no immune modula on (control) of which 397 have known OSFD outcomes

• 353 pa ents randomized to tocilizumab of which 350 have known OSFD outcomes

• 48 pa ents randomized to sarilumab of which 45 have known OSFD outcomes

4. The IL-6ra specific PP popula on consists of the pa ents in the IL-6ra specific ITT popula on who have been

treated as per protocol. In this analysis that is defined as pa ents randomized to tocilizumab or sarilumab

that received at least one dose of IL-6ra or pa ents randomized to no immunemodula on that did not receive

any interven ons in the Immune Modula on Therapy Domain. The IL-6ra specific per protocol popula on

consists of 740 pa ents. There are 6 pa ents within this popula on that are missing values of OSFD and

in-hospital mortality.

• 382 pa ents randomized to no immune modula on (control) of which 379 have known OSFD outcomes

• 315 pa ents randomized to tocilizumab of which 315 have known OSFD outcomes

• 43 pa ents randomized to sarilumab of which 40 have known OSFD outcomes

1.2 Modeling Conven ons

• All reported credible intervals (CrIs) are 95% equal-tailed intervals.

• Results from models of ordinal and dichotomous endpoints are reported as odds ra os (ORs). Results from

models of me to event endpoints are reported as hazard ra os (HRs). For consistency of interpreta on, all

models are parameterized so that anOR/HR greater than 1 indicates pa ent benefit rela ve to the reference

group and an OR/HR less than 1 indicates pa ent harm rela ve to the reference group.

• The reference group for the age category OR/HRs is the age category from 60-69 years old.

• The reference group for the me epochs OR/HRs is the most recent me epoch consis ng of the four-week

period preceding Nov 19, 2020. Time epoch 0 is the most recent epoch and the epochs move backwards

in me in two-week periods from epoch 1 to 16. The Unblinded ITT and Unblinded non-nega ve COVID-19

popula ons include pa ents randomized in epochs 0 to 16. The IL-6ra specific ITT and PP popula ons include

pa ents randomized in epochs 0 to 13.

• The reference group for the sex at birth OR/HRs is the male category.

• The reference group for the CRP tercile subgroup OR/HRs is the largest subgroup of pa ents with unknown

CRP.

• Tocilizumab and sarilumab are compared to the control arm. A posterior probability of superiority of 99% is

used as a sta s cal trigger for efficacy.

• Tocilizumab and sarilumab are compared to control for fu lity. A 95% probability of a smaller than 1.2 odds

ra o for Tocilizumab or sarilumab rela ve to control is used as a sta s cal trigger for fu lity.

• Tocilizumab and sarilumab are compared for equivalence. A 90% probability of equivalence (defined as an

odds ra o of tocilizumab rela ve to sarilumab between 1/1.2 and 1.2) is used as a sta s cal trigger for inter-

ven on equivalence.

• OR/HR effects for pre-specified combina ons of interven ons from the Immune Modula on Therapy and

Cor costeroid domain are reported rela ve to control. These OR/HRs incorporate the effect of each individ-

ual interven on and the interac on term for the combina on of interven ons.

• OR/HR effects for pre-specified interac on effects are reported rela ve to an addi ve effect. For example, if

an interac on effect OR/HR is equal to 1, the combina on of interven ons is addi ve (equal to the sum of

the effects of the two interven ons taken separately). If an interac on OR/HR is greater than 1, the effect of

the combina on of interven ons is synergis c (greater than the sum of the effects of the two interven ons

taken separately). If the interac on OR/HR is less than 1, the effect of the combina on is sub-addi ve (less

than the sum of the effects of the two interven ons taken separately).

• Interac on effects are reported for pre-specified interven ons from the Immune Modula on Therapy and

Cor costeroid domain.

3 Secondary analyses of in-hospital mortality

For consistency of interpreta on, all models are parameterized so that an OR/HR greater than 1 indicates pa ent

benefit rela ve to the reference group and an OR/HR less than 1 indicates pa ent harm rela ve to the reference

group. In this sec on, the ORs can be interpreted for the outcome of in-hospital survival.

7 Subgroup Analyses

Subgroups are defined based on terciles of C-reac ve protein (CRP) levels for pa ents in the Unblinded ITT popu-

la on. Pa ents are included in the “lower” CRP subgroup if their CRP level is lower than 102 µg/mL. Pa ents are

included in the “middle” CRP subgroup if their CRP level is greater than or equal to 102 µg/mL and lower than 187

µg/mL. Pa ents are included in the “upper” CRP subgroup if their CRP level is greater than or equal to 187 µg/mL.

Pa ents without a measured CRP level are included in the “unknown” subgroup.

tus with pooled IL-6ra interven ons

• Model: Primary analysis ordinal model

• Factors: Age, sex, site, me, control and pooled IL-6ra interven ons, cor costeroid interven ons (control,

fixed-dura on, Shock-dependent) and an viral interven ons (control, HCQ, Kaletra, Kaletra + HCQ), and in-

terac ons between pooled IL-6ra interven ons, cor costeroids, and an virals

• The treatment effect for pooled IL-6ra interven ons by baseline mechanical ven la on status will be com-

pared to the control arm. A posterior probability of superiority of 99% will be used as a sta s cal trigger for

efficacy for each mechanical ven la on subgroup.
