Only limited real-life data are available on the effects of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies in high-risk patients who have early COVID-19 and do not require supplemental oxygen. We prospectively studied 217 patients infected by the delta variant who received casirivimab plus indevimab in a dedicated ambulatory unit created during our 4th COVID wave. Mean age was 64 years, 94% had at least one comorbidity, and mean duration of symptoms was 2.9 days. Oxygen requirement, hospitalization, and mortality rates were 10, 6, and 2.8%, respectively. These results suggest benefits of early administration of neutralizing antibodies in high-risk patients infected with the delta variant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
