A type II variation was submitted in order to fulfill the Specific Obligation (SOB#13) within Annex II of the product information.  “In order to confirm the efficacy and safety of remdesivir in patients on IMV/ECMO, the MAH should submit the published final D28 mortality data by ordinal scale categories of Study CO-US-540-5776 (NIAID-ACTT1). In addition, the MAH should discuss potential imbalance in the use of corticosteroids and effect modification in Study CO-US-540-5776.”

Additionally, during the procedure the MAH was requested to restrict the indication to those on low- or high-flow oxygen or other non-invasive ventilation at start of treatment and to exclude patients on IMV/ECMO. This change has been made in section 4.1 of the SmPC with consequential updates to the PIL.

Finally during the procedure the MAH was requested to include mortality data from the final NIAID-ACTT1 study. This data has been included in section 5.1 of the SmPC.
