Several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that investigated the effectiveness of remdesivir for the treatment of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have generated inconsistent evidence. The present study aimed to synthesize available RCT evidence using network meta-analyses (NMAs). Both blinded and open-label RCTs in PubMed database from inception to 7 June 2020 that contained "remdesivir", "Covid-19", and "trial" in the abstracts conducted on hospitalized COVID-19 persons were identified and screened. The studies must have at least one remdesivir arm and evaluated one of the pre-specified outcomes. The outcomes were clinical improvement between days 10 to 15 after randomization and clinical recovery during the follow-up period. The identified literature was supplemented with relatively recent studies that were known to the researchers if not already included. Frequentist NMAs with random effects were conducted. Both 10-day and 5-day remdesivir regimens were associated with higher odds of clinical improvement (odds ratio [OR] of 10-day regimen: 1.35, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09-1.67); OR of 5-day regimen: 1.81, 95% CI, 1.32-2.45, and higher probabilities of clinical recovery (relative risk [RR] of 10-day regimen: 1.24, 95% CI, 1.07-1.43; RR of 5-day regimen: 1.47, 95% CI, 1.16-1.87 compared with placebo. Remdesivir may have clinical benefits among hospitalized COVID-19 persons.
