As Covid-19 case numbers spike, the US has seen a 1,200% increase in orders for monoclonal antibody treatments in the past month, the US Health and Human Services Department said. About 75% of them are coming from US regions with low vaccination rates.
Florida governor deploying rapid-response team to fight Covid-19 surgeHHS said it has also seen a recent increase in the number of doctors using the treatments, also known as mAbs. Earlier in the year, the federal government had sent thousands of doses to states, but many sat on the shelf due to the complicated logistics of how doctors administer the treatments.HHS said as of August 6, the latest date they have figures for, nearly half of the distributed supply has been used.
In April, the US Food and Drug Administration revoked its emergency use authorization and put a pause on the distribution of Eli Lilly's antibody treatment bamlanivimab since it wasn't as effective against variants in circulation in the US. In June, HHS announced a pause in the distribution of Lilly's other treatment etesevimab, as well as its combination of the two monoclonals, as neither worked as well against the Gamma and Beta variants.
