Some panel members also recommended preferential use of REGEN-COV antibody cocktail in regions where certain variants are common

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., April 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) announced today that newly updated National Institutes of Health (NIH) COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines strongly recommend that REGEN-COV™ (casirivimab with imdevimab) be used in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients (“outpatients”) at high risk of clinical progression. The Category ‘AIIa’ is a ‘strong’ rating based on results of randomized trials.

The recommendation from the NIH COVID-19 Treatments Guidelines Panel is a critical step in helping make monoclonal antibody therapies like REGEN-COV available for all appropriate patients in the U.S. The new guidelines are based in part on robust clinical data involving more than 4,500 outpatients showing that REGEN-COV significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 70% compared to placebo.
