OBJECTIVES: To describe the management of haematological patients experiencing prolonged SARS-CoV-2 viral shedding, as the optimal management strategy for this condition remains undetermined.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective evaluation of our prospectively followed cohort of haematological patients treated with remdesivir for more than 10 days. Starting January 2023, upon COVID-19 diagnosis, the treatment strategy was based on symptoms and PCR cycle threshold (Ct) as follows: (i) when Ct was 25 or less or if the patient had symptoms, a course of remdesivir for at least 10 days, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir for 5 days (whenever possible) and convalescent plasma was administered; and (ii) when the patient was asymptomatic and had a PCR Ct of more than 25, when possible, a course of 5 days of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir was administered. The patient was considered to have achieved viral clearance and, thus, remdesivir was stopped, in either of these cases: (i) PCR negativity, or (ii) subgenomic RNA negativity.
RESULTS: From January to November 2023, 18 patients benefited from a safe extended remdesivir administration, resulting in detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral clearance in a median time of 3.5 weeks (IQR 2.6-3.9) (min-max 1.6-8.0). No clinical or biological side effects were detected. No patient died or needed further treatment for their COVID-19 episode.
CONCLUSIONS: The extended course of remdesivir, combined with other active therapies for COVID-19 infection, was well tolerated. Cure and virus negativity were obtained in all these high-risk patients.
