Casirivimab/imdevimab

17th treatment shown to reduce risk in March 2021

^*, now with p = 0.00018 from 31 studies, recognized in 45 countries. Efficacy is variant dependent.

Lower risk for hospitalization, progression, recovery, cases, and viral clearance.

No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments. ^* >10% efficacy, ≥3 studies.

4,700+ studies for 94 treatments. c19early.org

Retrospective 262 pediatric patients referred for COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatment, 134 treated (74% receiving casirivimab/imdevimab), showing higher ER visits and hospitalization with treatment, without statistical significance. Authors do not provide results for specific treatments.

Efficacy is variant dependent. In Vitro research suggests a lack of efficacy for many omicron variants1-6.

50 vs WA1). Evaluation of CH.1.1 and XBF by introducing variant-defining mutations into the replicon showed no change in in vitro susceptibility (< 1.8-fold change). Phenotyping of clinical isolates of BF.7, BQ.1, XBB.1.5, and CH.1.1 indicated no loss of RDV or ODV in vitro antiviral activity (< 1.3-fold change).

' 'There are limited data evaluating the use of outpatient COVID mAbs in pediatric patients.

Information collected included demographics, comorbidities, refusal ' 'reason, adverse events, emergency center (EC) visits or admission within 14 days after final ' 'dose, and EC visit or admission within 14 days of referral if patients did not receive COVID ' 'mAbs. Chi-square was used to determine differences between the groups.\n' ' \n' ' \n' ' Results\n' ' There were 262 patients referred during the study period. The ' 'median age of all referred patients was 15.8 years (IQR 14-17.4 years). Majority of referrals ' 'were for treatment of COVID-19 infection rather than post-exposure prophylaxis (92.8% vs ' '7.2%). Of the 262 referrals, 134 patients received COVID mAbs (51.2%) while 128 patients were ' 'not treated. Majority of the patients received casirivimab-imdevimab (73.9%). The ' 'comorbidities of all patients are shown in Figure 1. The most common reasons for patients to ' 'not receive COVID mAbs were no drug available or not listed, and the full list of reasons are ' 'listed in Figure 2. The median time from reported symptom onset to infusion was 4 days (IQR ' '2-6 days). Of the 134 infused patients, 8 patients (6%) visited the EC within 14 days from ' 'infusion, and 6 (4.5%) were admitted while 4 patients (3.1%) that did not receive an antibody ' 'visited the EC resulting in 3 admissions (2.3%) (EC visits p=0.27; admissions p=0.34).
