Zusammenfassung: | •Treatment with different monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has similar effects on frail patients with COVID-19.•Anti-COVID-19 vaccination does not impact mortality in patients treated with mAbs.•Early administration of mAbs improves outcomes.•Early administration of corticosteroids worsens the prognosis.•mAb failure predictors are age, hematologic malignancies, and renal insufficiency.
There is a scarcity of data on the outcomes and predictors of therapeutic failure of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in frail patients with COVID-19.
Prospective study including consecutive COVID-19 outpatients referred by primary care physicians for mAb treatment. The outcomes evaluated were 60-day mortality, time to SARS-CoV-2 clearance, need for hospitalization, and O2 therapy.
Among 1026 COVID-19 patients enrolled, 60.2% received casirivamab/imdevimab and 39.8% sotrivimab. Median age was 63 years, 52.4% were males and median time from positive nasopharyngeal swab to mAbs administration was 3 days (interquartile range, 2-5). 78.1% were vaccinated. Overall, the 60-day mortality was 2.14%. No differences in outcomes were observed between the two mAbs used. No difference was observed in mortality between vaccinated and unvaccinated patients (P = 0.925); although, lower rate of hospitalization (P |
