Trial Outcomes & Findings for ACTIV-6: COVID-19 Study of Repurposed Medications - Arm B (Fluvoxamine) (NCT NCT05890586)

NCT ID: NCT05890586

Last Updated: 2023-09-26

Results Overview

Time to sustained recovery was the number of days between receipt of study drug and the third of 3 consecutive days without symptoms. Participants who died, by definition, did not recover regardless of reported symptom freedom. The reported summary is the median survival time.

Arm B - Fluvoxamine 50
Fluvoxamine will be self-administered orally by each participant at a dose of 50 mg twice a day for 10 days. Fluvoxamine: Fluvoxamine is a round golden 50 mg tablet that is scored on both sides - one side has "APO" and the other side has "F50" with a partial bisect. All packaging will be labeled to indicate that the product is for investigational use, administered at a dose of 50 mg, twice daily for 10 days.
Arm B - Placebo
Placebo - appearance and size matched to active study drug. Placebo will be self-administered orally by each participant twice a day for 10 days. Placebo: Each study arm will contain a placebo comparator. Placebo will look similar to study drug and will be administered via the same route of administration and dose. However, placebo will be an inactive substance, containing no study drug.

Population: Participants who responded to the quality of life survey at each timepoint.

The PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) consists of seven health domains with four 5-level items associated with each and a pain intensity assessment using a 0-10 numeric rank. The seven health domains include physical function, fatigue, pain interference, depressive symptoms, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and sleep disturbance. Raw score ranges from 4-20, where a higher score correlates to better outcome for physical function. Day 90 data to be reported by September 4, 2023.

Timeframe: Day 7, 14, 28, and 90

Population: Participants who responded to the quality of life survey at each timepoint.

The PROMIS-29 (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) consists of seven health domains with four 5-level items associated with each and a pain intensity assessment using a 0-10 numeric rank. The seven health domains include physical function, fatigue, pain interference, depressive symptoms, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and activities, and sleep disturbance. Raw score ranges from 4-20 where a lower score correlates to better outcome for anxiety.

Arm B - Fluvoxamine 50
n=686 Participants
Fluvoxamine will be self-administered orally by each participant at a dose of 50 mg twice a day for 10 days. Fluvoxamine: Fluvoxamine is a round golden 50 mg tablet that is scored on both sides - one side has "APO" and the other side has "F50" with a partial bisect. All packaging will be labeled to indicate that the product is for investigational use, administered at a dose of 50 mg, twice daily for 10 days.
Arm B - Placebo
n=645 Participants
Placebo - appearance and size matched to active study drug. Placebo will be self-administered orally by each participant twice a day for 10 days. Placebo: Each study arm will contain a placebo comparator. Placebo will look similar to study drug and will be administered via the same route of administration and dose. However, placebo will be an inactive substance, containing no study drug.

Timeframe: Up to 14 days

The symptom and clinical event scale is a daily measurement that combines the global symptom burden scale with clinical events hospitalization and mortality. (No symptoms, mild symptoms, moderate symptoms, severe symptoms, hospitalized, deceased). Time unwell was the portion of follow-up (in days) that a participant was symptomatic, hospitalized, or deceased. The quantity is estimated from a Bayesian longitudinal ordinal regression model with covariate adjustment and weakly informative priors.

Timeframe: Up to 14 days

The symptom and clinical event scale is a daily measurement that combines the global symptom burden scale with clinical events hospitalization and mortality. (No symptoms, mild symptoms, moderate symptoms, severe symptoms, hospitalized, deceased). The cumulative benefit of treatment A is the probability of experiencing a better outcome on treatment A compared to treatment B, summed over the days of follow-up. The difference between the cumulative benefit of treatment A and the cumulative benefit of treatment B is known as the difference in days benefit. Measure of dispersion is 95% credible interval.
