Patients with immunodeficiency-associated antibody disorders are at a higher risk of prolonged/persistent COVID-19 infection, having no viable treatment options.
A retrospective analysis of patients with primary and/or secondary immunodeficiency-associated antibody disorders who received casirivimab and imdevimab (REGEN-COV®) under emergency compassionate use. Objective were to describe safety and response to REGEN-COV, focusing on the subset of patients who had COVID-19 duration ≥21 days before treatment.
Quantitative (change in oxygenation status and/or viral load) and/or qualitative (physician-reported clinical status) outcomes data are reported from 64 patients. Improvement in ≥1 outcome was observed in 90.6% of the overall patient group. Thirty-seven of these had COVID-19 duration ≥21 days before treatment; median time from diagnosis to REGEN-COV treatment was 60.5 days. Of the 29 patients with COVID-19 duration ≥21 days before treatment and available outcome data, 96.6% showed improvement in ≥1 outcome. In the 14 patients with post-treatment reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results available, 11 (78.6%) reported a negative RT-PCR following treatment, with 5 (45.5%) and 8 (72.7%) patients reporting a negative RT-PCR within 5 days and 21 days of treatment, respectively. Ten of 85 patients (11.8%) experienced serious adverse events; only one was an infusion-related reaction, possibly related to REGEN-COV. Two deaths were reported; neither were attributed to REGEN-COV.
In this retrospective analysis of immunodeficient patients granted REGEN-COV under emergency compassionate use, REGEN-COV treatment was associated with rapid viral clearance and clinical improvement in patients with longstanding COVID-19. Adverse events were consistent with COVID-19 and its associated complications, and due to patients' concurrent medical conditions.
免疫缺陷相关抗体疾病患者发生 COVID-19 感染持续时间延长/持续的风险较高,且无可行的治疗选择。
对接受卡司瑞韦单抗和伊米德韦单抗(REGEN-COV®)紧急同情用药的原发性和/或继发性免疫缺陷相关抗体疾病患者进行回顾性分析。目的是描述 REGEN-COV 的安全性和疗效,重点关注 COVID-19 持续时间≥21 天的患者亚组。
报告了 64 例患者的定量(氧合状态和/或病毒载量变化)和/或定性(医生报告的临床状态)结局数据。整体患者组中 90.6%观察到≥1 项结局改善。其中 37 例患者 COVID-19 持续时间≥21 天;从诊断到 REGEN-COV 治疗的中位时间为 60.5 天。在 COVID-19 持续时间≥21 天且可获得结局数据的 29 例患者中,96.6%的患者≥1 项结局改善。在可获得治疗后逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)结果的 14 例患者中,11 例(78.6%)报告治疗后 RT-PCR 结果为阴性,5 例(45.5%)和 8 例(72.7%)患者分别在治疗后 5 天和 21 天内报告 RT-PCR 结果为阴性。85 例患者中有 10 例(11.8%)发生严重不良事件;仅有 1 例为与 REGEN-COV 相关的输液相关反应。报告了 2 例死亡;均与 REGEN-COV 无关。
在这项对免疫缺陷患者接受 REGEN-COV 紧急同情用药的回顾性分析中,REGEN-COV 治疗与 COVID-19 持续时间较长的患者病毒快速清除和临床改善相关。不良事件与 COVID-19 及其相关并发症一致,与患者的合并症有关。
