Introduction

Antiviral; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleotide RNA polymerase inhibitor.

Uses for Remdesivir

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Treatment of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in adults and pediatric patients (birth to less than 18 years of age weighing at least 1.5kg) who are hospitalized, or who are not hospitalized but have mild-to-moderate COVID-19, and are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.

The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines on the treatment and management of patients with COVID-19 recommend the initiation of remdesivir within 7 days of symptom onset in hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk for progression to severe disease. For hospitalized patients on supplemental oxygen, the IDSA Panel suggests treatment with 5 versus 10 days of remdesivir and in those with severe COVID-19 (defined as a SpO2 ≤94% on room air) the guideline suggests remdesivir over no antiviral treatment. Routine use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 on invasive ventilation and/or ECMO is not recommended.

The IDSA guidelines suggest that outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk for progression to severe disease be administered remdesivir within 7 days of symptom onset rather than no remdesivir. Options for treatment in these patients include nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, 3-day treatment with remdesivir, molnupiravir, and neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Choice of agent should be driven by product availability, institutional capacity and infrastructure, and patient-specific factors (e.g., patient age, symptom duration, renal function, drug interactions).

Remdesivir Dosage and Administration

General

Pretreatment Screening

• Perform hepatic laboratory testing in all patients prior to initiating therapy.

• Assess prothrombin time (PT) prior to intiating therapy.

Patient Monitoring

• Monitor patients during infusion and observe patients for at least 1 hour after infusion is complete for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity.

• Perform hepatic laboratory testing during therapy as appropriate.

• Monitor PT as clinically appropriate during therapy.

Dispensing and Administration Precautions

• Administer only in settings where healthcare providers have immediate access to medications used to treat severe infusion or hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylaxis, and the ability to activate the emergency medication system (EMS) as necessary.

Administration

Administer only by IV infusion. Do not give by any other route.

Do not administer simultaneously with any other IV drugs.

Compatible with 0.9% sodium chloride injection; compatibility with other IV solutions or drugs not known.

Do not shake remdesivir solutions. Manufacturer states do not use pneumatic tube systems to transport or deliver IV infusion bags containing remdesivir; studies not conducted to assess effects of vigorous shaking or vibration on the drug.

After the IV infusion of remdesivir completed, flush infusion line with sufficient volume of 0.9% sodium chloride to ensure delivery of entire dose.

Discard solution if discolored or contains particulates.

Does not contain preservatives or bacteriostatic agents. Discard unused lyophilized powder, solution concentrate, or diluted solutions of the drug; do not reuse or save for future use.

IV Infusion

Available in 2 different formulations: lyophilized powder in single-dose vials containing 100 mg of remdesivir that must be reconstituted with sterile water for injection prior to diluting with 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and a solution concentrate in single-dose vials containing 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) that must be further diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride injection prior to infusion.

Carefully follow product-specific preparation instructions for each formulation.

Lyophilized powder formulation is the only approved dosage form for pediatric patients weighing 3 kg to <40 kg.

Preparation of Lyophilized Powder in Adults and Pediatric Patients Weighing ≥40 kg

Reconstitute lyophilized powder and further dilute prior to IV infusion.

Reconstitute single-dose vial containing 100 mg of lyophilized remdesivir by adding 19 mL of sterile water for injection and immediately shaking vial for 30 seconds. Allow vial contents to settle for 2–3 minutes, resulting in a clear, colorless to yellow, solution. If vial contents do not completely dissolve, repeat this process as necessary until drug completely dissolves. Discard vial if contents do not dissolve completely.

Reconstituted solution contains 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL). Further dilute in a 100- or 250-mL IV infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride injection prior to IV infusion.

Prior to transferring required volume of reconstituted remdesivir solution to the IV infusion bag, withdraw appropriate volume of 0.9% sodium chloride from the IV bag (using an appropriately sized syringe and needle) and discard (see Table 1).

After adding appropriate volume of reconstituted remdesivir to the IV bag, mix by gently inverting bag 20 times; do not shake.

Preparation of Lyophilized Powder in Pediatric Patients Weighing 3 to <40 kg

Reconstitute lyophilized powder and further dilute prior to IV infusion.

Reconstitute single-dose vial containing 100 mg of lyophilized remdesivir by adding 19 mL of sterile water for injection and immediately shaking vial for 30 seconds. Allow vial contents to settle for 2–3 minutes, resulting in a clear, colorless to yellow, solution. If vial contents do not completely dissolve, repeat this process as necessary until drug completely dissolves. Discard vial if contents do not dissolve completely.

Reconstituted solution contains 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL). Further dilute in 0.9% sodium chloride injection to a fixed concentration of 1.25 mg/mL prior to IV infusion.

Calculate total required infusion volume of diluted remdesivir solution containing 1.25 mg/mL based on the pediatric weight-based dosing regimen of 5 mg/kg for loading dose or 2.5 mg/kg for maintenance doses.

Use a small IV infusion bag (e.g., 25, 50, or 100 mL) or an appropriately sized syringe to administer remdesivir solutions in pediatric patients weighing 3 to <40 kg; a syringe and syringe pump may be used to deliver volumes <50 mL. Administer recommended dose via IV infusion in a total infusion volume based on the indicated dose and calculated to yield the target remdesivir concentration of 1.25 mg/mL.

Instructions for use of an IV infusion bag:Use an appropriately sized small IV bag (either prefilled with 0.9% sodium chloride or empty). If using prefilled IV bag, withdraw appropriate volume of 0.9% sodium chloride based on patient's dose plus a quantity sufficient to achieve a final 1.25-mg/mL concentration from the bag and discard; then withdraw required volume of reconstituted remdesivir solution containing 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) from the vial (using an appropriately sized syringe and needle) and transfer into the IV bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride. If using empty IV bag, withdraw required volume of reconstituted remdesivir solution containing 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) from the vial (using an appropriately sized syringe and needle) and transfer into the IV bag, then add appropriate volume of 0.9% sodium chloride sufficient to achieve a final concentration of 1.25 mg/mL to the bag. Mix by gently inverting bag 20 times; do not shake. The prepared infusion solution is stable for 24 hours at room temperature (20–25°C) or 48 hours in the refrigerator (2–8°C).

Instructions for use of a syringe:Select an appropriately sized syringe for administration that is equal to or larger than the calculated total infusion volume of the 1.25-mg/mL remdesivir solution that is required for the dose. Using the administration syringe, withdraw required volume of reconstituted remdesivir solution containing 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL) from the vial into the syringe followed by the required volume of 0.9% sodium chloride needed to achieve a final remdesivir solution containing 1.25 mg/mL. Mix by gently inverting the syringe 20 times; do not shake. Use the prepared diluted solution immediately.

Preparation of Solution Concentrate for Adults and Pediatric Patients Weighing ≥40 kg

Must dilute solution concentrate prior to IV infusion.

Remdesivir solution concentrate contains 100 mg/20 mL (5 mg/mL). Must dilute in a 250-mL IV infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride injection.

Allow vials of the solution concentrate to equilibrate to room temperature prior to dilution.

Prior to transferring required volume of remdesivir solution concentrate to the IV infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride, withdraw appropriate volume of 0.9% sodium chloride from the IV bag (using an appropriately sized syringe and needle) and discard. (See Table 2.)

After adding appropriate volume of remdesivir solution concentrate to the IV bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride, mix by gently inverting bag 20 times; do not shake.

The prepared infusion solution is stable for 24 hours at room temperature (20–25°C) or 48 hours at refrigerated temperature (2–8°C).

Rate of Administration

Adults and pediatric patients weighing ≥40 kg: Administer IV infusions over 30–120 minutes. For recommended IV infusion rate when administering remdesivir prepared using the lyophilized powder or solution concentrate, see Table 3.

Pediatric patients weighing 3 to <40 kg:Infuse diluted solution over 30 to 120 minutes. Calculate the rate of infusion (mL/minute) based on the total infusion volume and total infusion time.

Special Populations

Hepatic Impairment

Pharmacokinetics not evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment.

Renal Impairment

No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with any degree of renal impairment, including those on dialysis.

Geriatric Patients

Dosage adjustment not needed. Consider greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function and of concomitant disease and drug therapy observed in the elderly.

Cautions for Remdesivir

Contraindications

• History of clinically important hypersensitivity reactions to the drug or any ingredient in the formulation.

Warnings/Precautions

Hypersensitivity and Infusion-related Reactions

Hypersensitivity reactions, including infusion-related and anaphylactic reactions, observed during and following remdesivir administration. Signs and symptoms of such reactions may include hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia, bradycardia, hypoxia, fever, dyspnea, wheezing, angioedema, rash, nausea, diaphoresis, and shivering. Consider a slower rate of IV infusion, with a maximum infusion time of up to 120 minutes, to potentially prevent these signs and symptoms.

Monitor during infusion and observe patients for at least 1 hour after infusion is complete for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity. If signs and symptoms of a clinically important hypersensitivity reaction occur, immediately discontinue administration of remdesivir and initiate appropriate treatment.

Increased Risk of Aminotransferase Elevations

Aminotransferase elevations observed in healthy individuals who received remdesivir in phase 1 studies and also reported in patients with COVID-19 who received the drug.

Assess hepatic function prior to and as clinically appropriate during remdesivir treatment.

Consider discontinuing remdesivir in patients who develop ALT concentrations >10 times the ULN during treatment.

Discontinue remdesivir in patients who develop elevated ALT concentrations accompanied by signs or symptoms of liver inflammation.

Risk of Reduced Antiviral Activity if Used Concomitantly with Chloroquine or Hydroxychloroquine

Concomitant use of remdesivir and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine not recommended because of in vitro evidence that chloroquine antagonizes intracellular metabolic activation and antiviral activity of remdesivir.

Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Available data have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes following exposure in the second or third trimester; however, insufficient data to evaluate risk in first trimester. There are maternal risks associated with untreated COVID-19 in pregnancy. In nonclinical reproductive toxicity studies, no adverse embryofetal effects demonstrated when administered to pregnant animals at systemic exposures higher than those associated with recommended human dose.

Lactation

Remdesivir and its active metabolite distribute into human milk; however, available data do not indicate adverse effects on the breastfed infant from exposure to the drug. No data on effects of the drug on milk production.

Consider developmental and health benefits of breast-feeding along with the mother’s clinical need for remdesivir and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed child from the drug or underlying maternal condition. Breastfeeding individuals with COVID-19 should follow clinical guidelines to avoid exposing the infant to the virus.

Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy for treatment of COVID-19 established in pediatric patients ≥28 days of age weighing ≥3 kg. Use of remdesivir in pediatric patients with renal impairment is supported by safety data in adults. There are limited data in pediatric patients with mild to moderate renal impairment and no data in pediatric patients with severe renal impairment. The formulation contains the excipient betadex sulfobutyl ether sodium (sulfobutylether β-cyclodextrin sodium; SBECD) which, when administered IV, is eliminated through glomerular filtration and therefore when administered to pediatric patients with renal immaturity or renal impairment, may result in higher exposure to SBECD.

Geriatric Use

No differences in response identified between geriatric and younger patients. Although dosage adjustment not needed in patients >65 years of age, use appropriate caution and monitoring because of greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy in the elderly.

Hepatic Impairment

Assess hepatic function prior to and as clinically appropriate during remdesivir treatment.

Aminotransferase elevations observed in healthy individuals and patients with COVID-19 who received the drug.

Renal Impairment

Safety profile in patients with COVID-19 and renal impairment, including those on dialysis, consistent with those observed in clinical trials of the drug in adults. Exposures to drug's metabolites and SBECD are increased in patients with mild to severe renal impairment, including those requiring dialysis, relative to those with normal renal function.

Common Adverse Effects

Adverse effects (≥5%): nausea, increased ALT concentrations, increased AST concentrations.

Drug Interactions

In vitro, remdesivir is a substrate of CYP3A4, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1); the predominant circulating metabolite (GS-441524) is a substrate for OATP1B1 and OATP1B3.

Remdesivir inhibits CYP3A4, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and multidrug and toxin extrusion transporter (MATE) 1 in vitro.

Clinical relevance of in vitro interaction assessments not established.

Drug-drug interaction trials not conducted in humans.

Specific Drugs

Remdesivir Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Plasma Concentrations

Prodrug that is initially metabolized to GS-441524 (predominant circulating metabolite) and GS-704277 and is converted intracellularly to the active nucleoside triphosphate metabolite (GS-443902).

Following IV infusion over 30 minutes in healthy adults, peak plasma concentrations of remdesivir are attained within 0.7 hours and peak plasma concentrations of GS-441524 and GS-704277 are attained within 1.5–2 and 0.75 hours, respectively.

Data from a single-dose pharmacokinetic study in healthy adults indicate that pharmacokinetics of the lyophilized powder and solution concentrate formulations of remdesivir are comparable.

Distribution

Extent

High intracellular concentrations of the active triphosphate metabolite (GS-443902) reported in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of healthy adults 24 hours after a single dose of remdesivir given by IV infusion; these concentrations were up to 370-fold higher than the in vitro 50% effective concentration (EC₅₀) of the drug reported for SARS-CoV-2.

Plasma Protein Binding

Remdesivir is 88–94% bound to plasma proteins; GS-441524 and GS-704277 are 2 and 1% bound to plasma proteins, respectively.

Elimination

Metabolism

Metabolized (10%) by CYP3A4.

Metabolized intracellularly to a nucleoside monophosphate intermediate (GS-704277) by carboxyesterase 1 and/or cathepsin A, depending on the cell type. The nucleoside monophosphate is subsequently phosphorylated by cellular kinases to form the pharmacologically active nucleoside triphosphate metabolite (GS-443902).

Elimination Route

Data from healthy adults indicate that 10% of a remdesivir dose eliminated in urine as unchanged drug and 49 and 2.9% of the dose eliminated in urine as GS-441524 and GS-704277, respectively.

Half-life

In healthy adults, remdesivir has a plasma half-life of 1 hour and GS-441524 and GS-704277 have plasma half-lives of 27 and 1.3 hours, respectively.

GS-441524 has an intracellular half-life in PBMCs of >35 hours; median half-life of pharmacologically active metabolite (GS-443902) in PBMCs reported to be 36–49 hours.

Actions and Spectrum

• Adenosine nucleotide prodrug that is metabolized intracellularly to form the pharmacologically active nucleoside triphosphate metabolite (GS-443902). RNA polymerase inhibitor; direct-acting antiviral (DAA).

• Mechanism(s) of action against susceptible viruses, including coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 (causative agent of COVID-19), not fully elucidated.

• Following conversion to active triphosphate metabolite (GS-443902), the drug acts as an analog of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and competes with high selectivity with the natural ATP substrate for incorporation into nascent RNA chains by the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which results in delayed chain termination during replication of the viral RNA. Other mechanisms also may be involved. Weak inhibitor of mammalian DNA and RNA polymerases, including human mitochondrial RNA.

• Broad spectrum of activity against RNA viruses, including various Coronaviridae (human and animal), Filoviridae (e.g., Ebola virus), and Paramyxoviridae (e.g., Nipah virus, respiratory syncytial virus).

• Active in vitro against SARS-CoV-1 (causative agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS]) and MERS-CoV (causative agent of Middle East respiratory syndrome [MERS]), including in infected primary human airway epithelial cell (HAE) cultures. Also active in animal models of SARS and MERS; prevented MERS in Rhesus macaques when given before infection and provided benefits when given after the animals were already infected.

• Active in vitro against SARS-CoV-2, including in Vero E6 cells. Exhibited cell culture antiviral activity against a clinical isolate of SARS-CoV-2 in HAE cells (50% effective concentration [EC₅₀] 9.9 nM after 48 hours of treatment). Also inhibited replication of SARS-CoV-2 in the continuous human lung epithelial cell line Calu-3 (EC₅₀ of 280 nM after 72 hours of treatment) and A549 cells expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme (A549-hACE2) (EC₅₀ of 115 nM after 48 hours of treatment).

• Antiviral activity also demonstrated in SARS-CoV-2-infected Rhesus macaques. In one study, treatment with a 6-day regimen of IV remdesivir initiated 12 hours after virus inoculation in the monkeys was associated with some benefits (lower disease severity scores, fewer pulmonary infiltrates, lower virus titers in bronchoalveolar lavage samples) compared with vehicle control; remdesivir treatment did not reduce viral loads or infectious virus titers in nose, throat, or rectal swabs of these monkeys compared with vehicle control.

• Cell culture resistance profiling of remdesivir using the rodent CoV murine hepatitis virus identified 2 substitutions (F476L and V553L) in the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase at residues conserved across CoVs that conferred a 5.6-fold reduction in susceptibility to remdesivir. The mutant viruses showed reduced viral fitness in cell culture; introduction of the corresponding substitutions (F480L and V557L) into SARS-CoV resulted in a 6-fold reduction in susceptibility to remdesivir in cell culture and attenuated SARS-CoV pathogenesis in a mouse model.

• In vitro development of resistance to remdesivir reported in SARS-CoV-1.

• In vitro development of resistance to remdesivir in SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture not assessed to date. Clinical data not available to date regarding development of remdesivir resistance in SARS-CoV-2 in patients treated with the drug.

Advice to Patients

• Advise patients to read the manufacturer's patient information.

• Inform patients or parents/caregivers that hypersensitivity reactions have been reported during and after remdesivir administration. Importance of informing clinicians if signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity (changes in heart rate, fever, shortness of breath, wheezing, rash, nausea, sweating, shivering, or swelling of the lips, face, or throat) occur.

• Inform patients or parents/caregivers that remdesivir may increase the risk of hepatic laboratory abnormalities. Importance of immediately informing clinicians if symptoms of liver inflammation occur.

• Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs and herbal supplements. Importance of informing clinicians if currently taking chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.

• Importance of women informing clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed. Inform patients that it is not known whether remdesivir can cause fetal harm or whether the drug is distributed into milk.
