The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA) to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ antibody cocktail casirivimab and imdevimab for treating patients with mild to moderate Covid-19.
In a clinical trial, casirivimab and imdevimab, administered together, were shown to reduce COVID-19-related hospitalisation or emergency room visits in patients at high risk for disease progression within 28 days after treatment.
