Phase 3 trial results by biotech company Regeneron showed its new drug provides long-term protection against COVID-19, KTLA sister station KRON reported.
A single dose of the antibody cocktail reduced the risk of contracting COVID-19 by 81.6% during months 2-8, according to results released Monday. Previously published results already showed its effectiveness within one month of getting the injection.
Regeneron said none of the participants who were injected with a single dose of the ‘REGEN-COV’ antibody cocktail were hospitalized with COVID-19 during the eight-month trial run in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Meanwhile, six people in the placebo group were hospitalized with COVID-19, the results revealed.
“These results demonstrate that REGEN-COV has the potential to provide long-lasting immunity from SARS-CoV-2 infection, a result particularly important to those who do not respond to COVID-19 vaccines including people who are immunocompromised,” said Myron S. Cohen, M.D., who leads the monoclonal antibody efforts for the NIH-sponsored COVID Prevention Network.

Especially with little to no trust of key components of a society:
-- Medical resources (CDC; NIH; too many celebrity enthralled "experts")
-- Law enforcement (DOJ; a few too many police departments)
-- Education (preschool through college)
-- State and local governments especially, but certainly not limited to, unelected bureaucrats; corporate management (too many wannabe bullies)
-- Social media and "regular" news sources (too many wannabe tyrants; too many fear mongerers)
and on and on and on

“But just to be clear, it can be administered in a hospital, just not to an inpatient.”
correct, for example, in the ER or a clinic in the hospital building is OK, but NOT inpatient ...
“Well never mind then... my mistake. It is effective, however.”
VERY effective and completely outrageous that it can’t be administered inpatient ... bottom line: no matter what, do NOT allow yourself or a loved one to be admitted to the hospital because of covid, because that’s basically a death sentence ... instead, have one or more plans to seek early testing and treatment, whether Zelenko meds or Regeneron ... also if you strongly suspect covid, don’t accept the results of the first test being negative ..
My husband got this infusion Sunday morning. He has covid with diabetes, so he was allowed to get the treatment. Within 12 hours he was completely turned around, up and about.
It's a combination of two monoclonal antibodies that functions as an antiviral agent against the COVD-19 virus. I wonder if we could stop splitting hairs?
