Edinburg, TX – Monoclonal antibody infusion has been used quite extensively in treating mild-moderated SARS-CoV-2 infection. The primary objective of this treatment is to prevent the progression of disease to a severe stage requiring hospitalization. At DHR Health and DHR Health Institute for Research & Development, we have infused REGEN-COV monoclonal antibody to over 500 patients with mild-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection with very satisfactory outcome. This included adults, children and pregnant women who were at high risk for developing severe COVID-19 disease.

“We are embarking on a new project that is both FDA and IRB-approved to infuse monoclonal antibodies to asymptomatic high-risk individuals who are COVID-19 negative but have been exposed to a COVID-19 positive patient” said Sohail Rao, MD, MA, DPhil, President & CEO, DHR Health Institute for Research & Development. “The purpose of this initiative is to prevent the development of SARS-CoV-2 infection in qualified adults and children 12 years of age or over who are exposed to a COVID-19 positive patient for at least 15 minutes in a 24-hour period”.

The study entails a single treatment with REGEN-COV monoclonal antibody which is either infused intravenously or administered subcutaneously.
