The phase 3 PROVENT and STORM CHASER studies evaluated AZD7442 (tixagevimab/cilgavimab) for pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis of symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We report the final 15-month results of both studies.
In PROVENT, participants were randomized 2:1 to receive 300 mg AZD7442 (n = 3460) or placebo (n = 1737). In STORM CHASER, participants were enrolled within 8 days of exposure to a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected individual and randomized 2:1 to receive 300 mg AZD7442 (n = 749) or placebo (n = 372).
In PROVENT, the relative risk reduction (RRR) in symptomatic COVID-19 for AZD7442 versus placebo was 76.7% at primary analysis [95% confidence interval (CI) 46.1, 90.0; p < 0.001], 83.0% at day 183 (95% CI 67.3, 91.2; nominal p < 0.001), and 46.3% at day 366 (95% CI 23.1, 62.4; nominal p < 0.001). Severe/critical COVID-19 was reduced by 91.4% with AZD7442 versus placebo by day 366 (95% CI 61.3, 98.1; nominal p < 0.0001). Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 58.2% and 58.0% of participants administered AZD7442 or placebo, respectively; serious AEs (SAEs) occurred in 6.2% and 5.6%, respectively. In STORM CHASER, the RRR in symptomatic COVID-19 for AZD7442 versus placebo was 33.3% at primary analysis (95% CI - 25.9, 64.7; p = 0.212), 43.3% at day 183 (95% CI 1.4, 67.4; nominal p = 0.044) and 3.4% at day 366 (95% CI - 35.6, 31.2; nominal p = 0.842). Severe/critical COVID-19 did not occur in participants receiving AZD7442 versus 0.5% of participants receiving placebo by day 366. AEs occurred in 46.5% and 51.9% of participants administered AZD7442 or placebo, respectively; SAEs occurred in 2.7% and 4.3%, respectively. In both studies, serum concentration-time profiles over 457 days were similar for tixagevimab and cilgavimab and consistent with the extended half-life reported for AZD7442 (approximately 90 days).
This analysis provides proof of concept supporting long-term safety of intramuscularly administered AZD7442 for prevention of symptomatic/severe COVID-19. A graphical abstract is available with this article.

3期PROVENT和STORM CHASER研究评估了AZD7442(替沙格韦单抗/西加韦单抗)用于2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)症状性疾病的暴露前和暴露后预防。我们报告了这两项研究的最终15个月结果。
在PROVENT研究中,参与者按2:1随机分组,分别接受300mg AZD7442(n = 3460)或安慰剂(n = 1737)。在STORM CHASER研究中,参与者在接触严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染者后的8天内入组,并按2:1随机分组,分别接受300mg AZD7442(n = 749)或安慰剂(n = 372)。
在PROVENT研究中,初步分析时AZD7442组与安慰剂组相比,有症状COVID-19的相对风险降低(RRR)为76.7%[95%置信区间(CI)46.1,90.0;p < 0.001],在第183天时为83.0%(95%CI 67.3,91.2;名义p < 0.001),在第366天时为46.3%(95%CI 23.1,62.4;名义p < 0.001)。到第366天时,与安慰剂相比,AZD7442组的重症/危重症COVID-19减少了91.4%(95%CI 61.3,98.1;名义p < 0.0001)。接受AZD7442或安慰剂治疗的参与者中,不良事件(AE)发生率分别为58.2%和58.0%;严重不良事件(SAE)发生率分别为6.2%和5.6%。在STORM CHASER研究中,初步分析时AZD7442组与安慰剂组相比,有症状COVID-19的RRR为33.3%(95%CI -25.9,64.7;p = 0.212),在第183天时为43.3%(95%CI 1.4,67.4;名义p = 0.044),在第366天时为3.4%(95%CI -35.6,31.2;名义p = 0.842)。到第(此处原文有误,应该是366天)366天时,接受AZD7442治疗的参与者中未发生重症/危重症COVID-19,而接受安慰剂治疗的参与者中有0.5%发生。接受AZD7442或安慰剂治疗的参与者中,AE发生率分别为46.5%和51.9%;SAE发生率分别为2.7%和4.3%。在两项研究中,替沙格韦单抗和西加韦单抗在457天内的血清浓度-时间曲线相似,与报道的AZD7442延长半衰期(约90天)一致。
该分析提供了概念验证,支持肌肉注射AZD7442预防有症状/重症COVID-19的长期安全性。本文提供了图形摘要。
