The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus caused the rapid global spread of COVID-19, and while coronavirus is often mild and self-limiting, approximately 10% of mild SARS-CoV-2 infections progress to severe symptoms, including respiratory distress syndrome, and up to 20% of symptomatic patients develop critical disease with clinical complications including pneumonia and hyper- inflammation. Several repurposed drugs have been used to treat patients hospitalized with serious COVID-19 disease, with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (nAbs) being one of the first therapies offered by the FDA. But despite promising results, the demand for treatment for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 has not met expectations, as many health care providers may not be familiar with or aware that preventative treatments are available for mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
This activity on early intervention treatments following diagnosis of COVID-19 as a way to reduce progression to severe disease will include the latest data on the efficacy and safety of nAb therapies and strategies for addressing knowledge and practice barriers to improve patient access to these therapies.
