Angie SzumlinskiFeatured, Health

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized revised fact sheets for health care providers to include additional information on susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 variants to each of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies that are available through an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the treatment of COVID-19. Health care providers should review the fact sheets for details regarding specific variants and potential resistance that may make the authorized mAb therapies less effective.   

The following fact sheets have been revised”

Like other infectious organisms, SARS-CoV-2 can mutate over time, resulting in genetic variation in the population of circulating viral strains. Some variants can cause resistance to one or more of the mAb therapies authorized to treat COVID-19. Health care providers should review the authorized fact sheets for information on the use of the authorized mAb therapies against currently circulating viral variants.

Stay the course, stay well, get vaccinated, and stay tuned!
