Regeneron’s COVID-19 Outpatient Trial Prospectively Demonstrates that REGN-COV2 Antibody Cocktail Significantly Reduced Virus Levels and Need for Further Medical Attention

The Pharma Data

“We continue to see the strongest effects in patients who are most at risk for poor outcomes due to high viral load, ineffective antibody immune response at baseline, or pre-existing risk factors. In the overall patient group with detectable virus at baseline, the average daily reduction in viral load through day 7 was a 0.36
