PHILADELPHIA Drugs that can keep high-risk covid-19 patients out of the hospital are going begging because the supposed breakthrough treatments require an hour-long intravenous infusion and offer a rather small chance of benefit.
On Monday, Regeneron announced results that may help make its monoclonal antibody combination, now branded REGEN-COV, more useful. The drug combo was given in a single shot and dramatically reduced the chance of infection in unvaccinated individuals living with someone newly diagnosed with covid-19.

A monoclonal antibody cocktail developed by Regeneron and Roche dropped the risk of symptomatic COVID-19 by up to 76% after three days for recently infected individuals not yet experiencing symptoms, according to a press release posted Monday. The drug, REGEN-COV, also significantly reduced duration of symptoms and lowered viral levels, Regeneron said.
REGEN-COV, comprised of casirivimab with imdevimab, has already received emergency use authorization from the FDA in the U.S. Under the current EUA, the combo therapy is approved to treat non-hospitalized adults and adolescents with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and who are at high risk for developing severe symptoms or the need for hospitalization.
