Association Between AZD7442 (Tixagevimab-Cilgavimab) Administration and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection, Hospitalization, and Mortality

Jennifer Kertes et al.

Summary: During the fifth wave of Omikron-dominated COVID-19, intramuscular AZD7442 treatment among immunocompromised individuals was associated with a lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe disease.

Serum neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sublineages BA.1 and BA.2 in patients receiving monoclonal antibodies

Timothee Bruel et al.

Summary: There are differences in neutralizing activity of therapeutic antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 sublineages, and immunocompromised individuals treated with antibodies show elevated antibody levels but reduced neutralization against Omicron. Breakthrough infections with the Omicron variant are observed in some immunocompromised individuals despite antibody treatment.

Summary: A single dose of AZD7442 showed efficacy in preventing Covid-19 without evident safety concerns. The study suggests that AZD7442 may provide potential protection for individuals who have an inadequate response to vaccination or an increased risk of exposure.

Summary: The use of tixagevimab/cilgavimab in vaccinated solid organ transplant recipients during the Omicron wave is safe and associated with a lower risk of breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection. Adverse events are uncommon, and most are mild.

Yann Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and outcomes of COVID-19 among immunocompromised patients receiving tixagevimab/cilgavimab as preexposure prophylaxis. The results showed a low rate of infections and severe illnesses among patients treated with tixagevimab/cilgavimab, suggesting the effectiveness of this preventive strategy for severely immunocompromised patients.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of tixagevimab-cilgavimab in preventing severe COVID-19 or death in non-hospitalized adults. The results showed that a single dose of tixagevimab-cilgavimab significantly reduced the risk of progression to severe COVID-19 or death, with favorable safety.
