Analysis of the first 275 patients in a trial of the REGN-COV2 antibody cocktail showing reductions in viral load and the time to alleviate symptoms in non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Greatest improvements were seen with patients that had not mounted their own effective immune response prior to treatment. The mean time-weighted-average change from baseline nasopharyngeal viral load through Day 7 in the seronegative (no measurable antiviral antibodies) group was a 0.60 log10 copies/mL greater reduction (p=0.03) in patients treated with high dose, and a 0.51 log10 copies/mL greater reduction (p=0.06) in patients treated with low dose, compared to placebo. In the overall population, there was a 0.51 log10 copies/mL greater reduction (p=0.0049) in patients treated with high dose, and a 0.23 log10 copies/mL greater reduction (p=0.20) in patients treated with low dose, compared to placebo.
