In relation to use in pregnancy, the SmPC for tocilizumab states REMAP-CAP is an international (15 countries) adaptive platform trial in community acquired pneumonia, that was specifically designed to be employed in a pandemic to evaluate multiple interventions simultaneously in critically ill patients. The eight RCTs had low risk of bias, and with 6311 patients they examined the effect of tocilizumab on short-term mortality; pooled RR was 0.91 (95%CI 0.78-1.07, I 2 25%). The median adjusted odds ratios for in-hospital survival were 1.64 (95% credible interval, 1.14 to 2.35) for tocilizumab and 2.01 (95% credible interval, 1.18 to 4.71 .

Institutional practices may have differed in the control group as standard of care was not defined in the protocol. The first patients received tocilizumab on April 19 and sarilumab was first administered on June 20. A Bayesian analysis of REMAP-CAP showed that both tocilizumab and sarilumab, another anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, were significantly better than usual care. A total of 2,895 patients were randomized across the three trials with 2,293 (1,398 moderate and 895 severe) having completed 21 days of follow-up with organ support assessment.
