Regeneron COVID-19 drug cocktail, on a monthly basis for those immunocompromised - theold - 28-09-2021
GEORGE D. YANCOPOULOS: We believe that the immunocompromised are a very important population that could really benefit from receiving our antibody cocktail on a monthly basis to keep them protected, to substitute for the fact that they don't generate antibodies in response to vaccines.
So we think that's an important potential future authorization, which we are discussing with the FDA.
But the message that needs to get out is that if you're already sick, either because you didn't get the vaccine or because you have a breakthrough infection, if you're at high-risk of advancing to serious disease, there is a treatment out there that is highly effective in preventing serious disease, hospitalization, and death. And that everybody should consider doing that and consider looking into it.
Go to your doctor, especially if you haven't been vaccinated and get the REGEN-COV antibody cocktail. It can keep you from getting sick.
JOHN WHYTE: And there's no cost to patients, correct? That's important to point out to individuals.
There's going to be variants that pop up that are going to defy us over and over again. And so we're already coming up with second and third generation treatments and preventions ourselves.
