Bloom said his experiments show initial indications that the Regeneron-Roche cocktail could “take a hit.”
“I think this shows the importance of work going on in academia and in industry to continue to find more antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 because it’s clear the reason people were doing this is we know that new variants were arising,” Bloom said. “It’s clear that’s going to continue to happen.”

There is a bigger risk that monoclonal antibodies, such as Regeneron’s treatment, could fail or partially fail because they target parts of the virus that will have mutated.
