Treatment of COVID-19 using monoclonal antibodies may be an effective option for people at risk of severe illness.The body produces antibodies to help it fight infections. This study examined the use of bamlanivimab monoclonal antibody therapy and its effectiveness in reducing death and hospitalization in high-risk people with COVID-19. The scientists followed the participants for 28 days.Dr. Casadevall told MNT in regards to this study that “the results with bamlanivimab monoclonal antibody treatment in patients with COVID-19 show reduced hospital admissions and mortality with early use, highlighting the potential of antibody-based therapies in fighting this disease.” The study results showed decreased hospitalization and mortality among those who received bamlanivimab than those who did not.
