FDA Emergency Use Authorization only allows for one MAB currently which is Bebtelovimab.
Bebtelovimab (LY-CoV1404; LY3853113) is a neutralizing IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 that maintains binding and neutralizing activity across currently known and reported variants of concern, including Omicron and BA.2. Bebtelovimab is being studied for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 both as a monotherapy and together with other mAbs. Lilly has licensed and developed bebtelovimab after it was discovered by AbCellera and the scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Vaccine Research Center.Bebtelovimab is not authorized for use in patients who:
Monoclonal antibodies are developed in a lab and function similarly to your body’s inherent naturally occurring antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are administered intravenously to high-risk COVID-19 patients diagnosed with the early stages of the disease. Generally, the infusion decreases risk of progression of COVID-19 from mild and moderate disease to severe disease by a 3-4X relative risk reduction.
This treatment is generally used to decrease viral loads and reduce symptom severity in high-risk COVID-19 patients. Monoclonal antibodies can detect and target the spike protein found on the outer part of the COVID-19 virus. This reduces the virus’s ability to attach itself and enter human cells. Generally, it has been proven to boost our immune system and help it fight off the novel coronavirus. It also helps decrease the risk of being hospitalized.
