1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesNew coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) therapeutics, including intramuscular (IM) formulations, may increase patient access. In COMET-TAIL, sotrovimab 500 mg IM was non-inferior to 500 mg intravenous (IV) in reducing the risk of COVID-19 progression; however, 250 mg IM was associated with more hospitalizations, despite similar viral load (VL) reductions to 500 mg IM.

methodsCOMET-PEAK was a randomized, three-part study to assess safety, tolerability, and viral pharmacodynamics of sotrovimab in adults with early, mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Parts B/C evaluated sotrovimab 500-mg IV infusion versus 500-mg or 250-mg IM injection. The primary objective was to compare virologic response of sotrovimab IM versus IV (mean area under the curve from day 1 to day 8 [AUC

resultsParts B/C included 167 and 157 participants, respectively. Median age range was 42-47 years, and approximately 50% of participants had one or more risk factor for severe disease. The primary objective was met: the ratio of geometric mean VL AUC

conclusionsBoth sotrovimab IM doses were equivalent to 500 mg IV with respect to SARS-CoV-2 VL change. IM administration was safe and well tolerated. The validity of VL as a biomarker for COVID-19 progression warrants further study. CLINICAL
