The U.S. government will start distributing Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s newly authorized Covid-19 antibody combination on Nov. 24, beginning with more than 30,000 treatment courses, a health official said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will make public reviews of all data and information regarding the emergency use authorization (EUA) granted to Covid-19 drugs and vaccines.
U.S. regulators authorized emergency use of the first experimental antibody drug for Covid-19 in patients who are not hospitalized but are at risk of serious illness because of their age or other conditions.
The U.S. government will pay as much as $1.19 billion to Eli Lilly to secure nearly 1 million doses of the company’s experimental Covid-19 antibody treatment, a drug similar to a treatment that U.S. President Donald Trump received.
