Summary of COVID-19 amubarvimab studies
1. Evering et al., Post-acute COVID-19 outcomes including participant-reported long COVID: amubarvimab/romlusevimab versus placebo in the ACTIV-2 trial
780 patient amubarvimab early treatment RCT: 91% lower mortality (p=0.006), 20% higher long COVID (p=0.39), 61% lower hospitalization (p=0.0008), and 67% lower combined mortality/hospitalization (p<0.0001).RCT 780 high-risk non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients showing significantly lower risk of hospitalization or death through 36 weeks, but no significant difference in long COVID with amubarvimab/romlusevimab treatment compared to placebo.

2. Qu et al., Effect of amubarvimab-romlusevimab for treatment of severe COVID-19 in intensive care units: A retrospective cohort study
121 patient amubarvimab ICU PSM study: 46% lower mortality (p=0.06) and 4% improved viral clearance (p=0.89).Retrospective 121 severe ICU COVID-19 patients in China showing lower 28-day mortality and ICU mortality with amubarvimab-romlusevimab treatment compared to no antiviral treatment. No significant differences were found in viral conversion rate or thromboembolic events. After propensity score matching to balance baseline characteristics, the mortality differences were no longer statistically significant.

3. Yalan et al., Treatment for Covid-19 with SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody BRII-196(Ambavirumab) plus BRII-198(Lomisivir): a retrospective cohort study
340 patient amubarvimab late treatment study: 71% higher mortality (p=0.35), 8% higher ICU admission (p=0.8), 8% shorter hospitalization (p=0.004), and 7% faster viral clearance (p=0.004).Retrospective 340 COVID-19 patients in China showing shorter length of hospital stay and faster viral clearance with BRII-196 plus BRII-198 monoclonal antibody treatment, especially when given early. The treatment did not show efficacy for improving clinical outcomes among severe or critical cases.

354 patient amubarvimab late treatment RCT: 15% higher mortality (p=0.72) and 7% improved recovery (p=0.48).
RCT with 182 sotrovimab patients, 176 BRII-196+BRII-198 patients, and 178 control patients, median 8 days from symptom onset, showing no significant differences and terminated early due to futility. Long-term results are reported in [Mourad]
