Aug 2, 2021 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday expanded its emergency use authorization for the antibody cocktail from Regeneron, making it the first preventive therapy authorized for unvaccinated and immunocompromised people in high-risk settings.
“This authorization enables these groups to use REGEN-COV to prevent infection in post-exposure and certain institutional settings,” Regeneron said in a"Today's FDA authorization enables certain people at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 infection to access REGEN-COV if they have been exposed to the virus – the first time an antibody treatment has been authorized for this purpose," said George D.
