The clinical evidence from Regeneron’s outpatient trial suggests that monoclonal antibodies such as casirivimab and imdevimab have the greatest benefit when given early after diagnosis and in patients who have not yet mounted their own immuneresponse or who have high viral load.
1 Acute gastroenteritis, a global health problem for which there are no vaccines or antiviral drugs, is caused by human noroviruses. These variants evade the immuneresponse that the body has developed previously, which makes finding effective preventative and therapeutic approaches to control this disease difficult.
INOVIO is the first and only company to have clinically demonstrated that a DNA medicine can be delivered directly into cells in the body via a proprietary smart device to produce a robust and tolerable immuneresponse. Forward-Looking Statements.
