AstraZeneca COVID-19 antibody drug offers 83% protection over six month period
New data from AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 PROVENT prevention and TACKLE outpatient treatment Phase III trials have revealed high efficacy from a dose of the long acting antibody (LAAB) combination.
In an analysis of the ongoing PROVENT trial, it was found that one 300mg IM dose of AZD7442 reduced the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 compared to placebo by 83%.
