概要
Effect of Bamlanivimab Virus-Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody on Hospitalization Rate and Mortality in Long Term Care Facility Residents with Recently Diagnosed Pre-Symptomatic, Mild-To-Moderate SARS-Cov2 Infection
Monika Murillo
Objective: To measure the association between intravenous administration of monoclonal antibody bamlanivimab (LY-CoV555) to Long-Term Care Facility (LTCF) residents recently diagnosed with pre-symptomatic, mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and are considered high risk for disease progression with mortality, hospitalization, and adverse effects.
Design: A retrospective analysis of LTCF residents with confirmed COVID-19, pre-symptomatic, mild to moderate disease, who were treated with bamlanivimab (LY-CoV555) were compared to similar LTCF residents who did not receive monoclonal antibody treatment. Dependent variables investigated included mortality and hospitalization as primary outcomes with adverse effects as the secondary outcome.
Results: A total of 107 residents from three LTCFs were diagnosed with pre-symptomatic, mild-to-moderate COVID-19 between November 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Of the 107 study participants, 44 residents provided consent to treatment, of which 39 received a single intravenous infusion of neutralizing monoclonal antibody, bamlanivimab 700 mg, early in the disease, and 5 received an incomplete dose. Of the 39 residents who received the full dose of bamlanivimab, 5 (12.8%) were admitted to the hospital and 4 (10.3%) died. Conversely, of the 63 residents who did not receive the monoclonal antibody, 26 (41.3%) were admitted to the hospital and 18 (28.6%) died. Relative risk for hospitalization and death were statistically significantly lower for those residents who received the full bamlanivimab treatment. No serious adverse effects were documented on any patient.
Conclusions: Intravenous administration of monoclonal antibody bamlanivimab (LY-CoV555) to LTCF residents recently diagnosed with pre-symptomatic, mild to moderate COVID-19 was significantly associated with reduced mortality and hospitalization. The monoclonal antibody was well-tolerated.
