Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

Now licensed vaccines are available for COVID-19 which have been shown to protect from severe disease with variying effectiveness however various strains keep emerging and there is no treatment that is 100% effective in preventing deaths. Based on available data and expert consideration, it is felt that certain drugs used to treat other diseases might be of help for COVID-19 or they might not. The first (2020) part of Solidarity was completed successfully with 26 actively recruiting sites across India and 1047 participants were randomised. The final analysis is ongoing.

Thus after evaluating 4 repurposed drugs in 2020 (Solidarity), the global trial aims to study the drugs Artesunate, Imatinib and Infliximab in comparison to Local Standard of Care in 2021(Solidarity trial Plus). The treatments chosen are aimed at suppressing specific immune responses occurring during the inflammatory phase of COVID-19.

The clinical trial protocol for these new drugs is also referred to as ‘SOLIDARITY Trial Plus’

However the Drugs Controller General of India in consultation with the subject Expert Committee while granting permission (CT-NOC No. CT-ND/89/2021)  to the trial in India has recommended removal of Artesunate arm.

In India we will test test only In Infliximab and Tab. Imatinib.
