The aim of this exploratory analysis of the REMAP-CAP immune modulation domain was to evaluate whether plasma ferritin or soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) represent treatable traits for anakinra in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Methods An exploratory analysis of patients randomised within the COVID-19 immune modulation domain of the REMAP-CAP trial was conducted. Adults within 24 h of receiving respiratory or cardiovascular organ support in an ICU with suspected or microbiologically confirmed COVID-19 were included. Plasma ferritin was measured at study sites, and plasma suPAR measured in stored plasma samples. The primary outcome was organ support-free days (OSFD) until day 21. Analyses were performed using a Bayesian cumulative logistic regression model, and results are presented as the posterior median odds ratio (OR), along with 95% credible intervals (CrI), for anakinra being superior to control. Results In ferritin analyses, 1243 patients were included. Patients with increasing ferritin levels had numerically fewer OSFDs. The posterior probabilities of anakinra having benefit (OR > 1) were 64%, 71%, and 21% across increasing ferritin terciles, compared to 53% in analyses that did not adjust for ferritin levels. 145 patients were included in the suPAR analyses. Patients with high baseline plasma suPAR (≥ 6 ng/ml; n = 85) had numerically fewer OSFDs than patients with low plasma suPAR (-1.0 (-1.0, 9.0) vs. 13.0 (-1.0, 17.0)). The posterior probabilities of anakinra having benefit (OR > 1) were 94.8% (OR 2.28 [0.85–6.06]) in patients with low baseline suPAR, and 38.6% (OR 0.88 [0.39–2.00]) in patients with high baseline suPAR. Conclusion Plasma ferritin does not identify patients with COVID-19 who benefit from treatment with anakinra, whilst anakinra may be beneficial in patients with low, rather than high, baseline plasma suPAR. These hypothesis-generating findings contrast with the results of clinical trials in non-critically ill patients with COVID-19. Trial registration NCT02735707.

We evaluated a structured, specialist-led interprofessional weaning program. Methods In this prospective, multicenter, non-randomized interventional study, mechanically ventilated patients were screened 96 h to 11 days after intubation. Patients meeting predefined high-risk criteria received a specialist-led interprofessional weaning program, while a parallel control group was derived from health insurance claims data. The primary outcome was successful weaning at ICU discharge. Results The primary analysis included 349 intervention patients and 1,768 controls. Successful weaning occurred in 58.3% of intervention patients and 51.7% of controls. In the adjusted primary analysis, the odds ratio for successful weaning was 1.46 (95% CI, 0.99–2.17; P = 0.057), and the difference did not reach statistical significance. In prespecified propensity score-matched analysis, successful weaning occurred in 58.3% of intervention patients and 46.4% of matched controls (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.61–5.24; P < 0.001). An exploratory analysis restricted to ICU survivors also showed higher odds of successful weaning in the intervention group (OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.09–4.04; P = 0.026). Overall, 16.3% of intervention patients were transferred to a specialized weaning center. These patients had longer ventilation durations, contributing to a longer overall duration of IMV in the intervention group. Conclusions The PRiVENT intervention was feasible and successful weaning was numerically more frequent in the intervention group, although the prespecified adjusted primary analysis did not reach statistical significance. These findings suggest a potential benefit of structured, multidisciplinary weaning support.
