Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Remdesivir (RDV)

Participants will receive RDV up to 10 days. The RDV dose administered in each cohort is as follows:

  • Cohort 1: intravenous (IV) RDV 200 mg on Day 1 followed by IV RDV 100 mg daily
  • Cohorts 2-5: IV RDV 5 mg/kg on Day 1 followed by IV RDV 2.5 mg/kg daily
  • Cohort 6-7: IV RDV 2.5 mg/kg on Day 1 followed by IV RDV 1.25 mg/kg daily for up to 10 days
  • Cohort 8: IV RDV 200 mg on Day 1 followed by IV RDV 100 mg daily
Drug: Remdesivir
Administered as an intravenous infusion
Other Names:
  • GS-5734™
  • Veklury®




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Participants Experiencing any Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 30 Follow-up Assessment ]
  2. Proportion of Participants Experiencing any Treatment-Emergent Graded Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 30 Follow-up Assessment ]
  3. Plasma Concentrations of Remdesivir (RDV) and Metabolites [ Time Frame: Day 2: end of infusion and 4 hours post end of infusion, Day 3: pre-infusion and 2 hours post end of infusion, and Day 5: middle of infusion and 6 hours post end of infusion; infusion duration: 30 minutes to 2 hours ]
    Plasma concentrations will be drawn as follows: (1) for cohorts 1-4 and cohort 8 on Day 2, and Day 3, Day 5 is optional; (2) for cohorts 5-7 on Day 2 or Day 3.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline in Oxygenation Use [ Time Frame: Baseline, up to Day 30 Follow-up Assessment ]
  2. Change From Baseline in the Use of Mechanical Ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) [ Time Frame: Baseline, up to Day 30 Follow-up Assessment ]
  3. Clinical Improvement on a 7-point Ordinal Scale [ Time Frame: First dose date up to 10 days ]
    The ordinal scale is an assessment of the clinical status at a given day. Each day, the worst score from the previous day will be recorded. The scale is as follows: 1.) Death 2.) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) 3.) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices 4.) Hospitalized, requiring low flow supplemental oxygen 5.) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (coronavirus (COVID-19) related or otherwise) 6.) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer required ongoing medical care (other than per protocol Remdesivir administration) 7.) Not hospitalized.

  4. Time (days) to Discharge From Hospital [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 30 Follow-up Assessment ]
  5. Days to First Confirmed Negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Result [ Time Frame: First dose date up to 10 days ]
    Confirmed negative PCR is defined by 2 consecutive negative PCR results.

  6. Change From Baseline in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Viral Load [ Time Frame: Baseline, up to 10 days or up to the first confirmed negative PCR results (whichever comes first) ]
  7. Bilirubin Concentrations in < 14-day-old Participants [ Time Frame: First dose date up to 10 days ]
  8. Clinical Improvement Based on Scoring Using the Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) Improvement Scale [ Time Frame: First dose date up to 10 days ]
    The PEWS is measured by 3 components, including 1.) behavior, 2.) perfusion assessed by capillary refill and heart rate, and 3.) respiratory status assessed by respiratory rate, effort, and oxygen requirement. The score ranges between zero to 9 point, with 9 point representing the highest severity level.

  9. Plasma Concentrations of Sulfobutylether β-cyclodextrin Sodium (SBECD) [ Time Frame: Day 2: end of infusion and 4 hours post end of infusion, Day 3: pre-infusion and 2 hours post end of infusion, and Day 5: middle of infusion and 6 hours post end of infusion; infusion duration: 30 minutes to 2 hours ]
    Plasma concentrations will be drawn as follows: (1) for cohorts 1-4 and cohort 8 on Day 2, and Day 3, Day 5 is optional; (2) for cohorts 5-7 on Day 2 or Day 3.

  10. Proportion of Participants With Concomitant Use of Medications other than RDV for Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) [ Time Frame: First dose date up to Day 30 Follow-up Assessment ]
