Immunocompromised patients show an impaired vaccine response and remain at high risk of severe COVID-19, despite vaccination. Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been developed for prophylaxis treatment. The combination tixagevimab/cilgavimab (AZD7442) has authorized emergency use as pre-exposure but data on safety efficacy in kidney transplant recipients during the Omicron period are limited.

Recently, a large number of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants continuously emerged and posed major threat to global public health. Among them, particularly, Omicron variant (B.1.1.529), first identified in November 2021, carried numerous mutations its spike protein (S), then quickly spread around the world. Currently, has expanded into more than one hundred sublineages, such as BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 BA.5, which have already become globally dominant variants. Different from other concern (VOCs) SARS-CoV-2, sublineages exhibit increased transmissibility immune escape neutralizing antibodies generated through previous infection or vaccination, caused re-infections breakthrough infections.

Background: Treatment guidelines and U.S. Food Drug Administration emergency use authorizations (EUAs) of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for treatment high-risk outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19 changed frequently as different SARS-CoV-2 variants emerged. Objective: To evaluate whether early outpatient mAbs, overall by mAb product, presumed variant, immunocompromised status, is associated reduced risk hospitalization or death at 28 days. Design: Hypothetical pragmatic randomized trial from observational data comparing mAb-treated patients a propensity score–matched, nontreated control group. Setting: Large health care system. Participants: High-risk eligible under any EUA positive test result 8 December 2020 31 August 2022. Intervention: Single-dose intravenous bamlanivimab, bamlanivimab–etesevimab, sotrovimab, bebtelovimab, subcutaneous casirivimab–imdevimab administered within 2 days result.

Nevertheless, even if fully vaccinated, immunocompromised patients still remain at high risk adverse outcomes. This has driven largely expanding field monoclonal antibodies, with variable results. Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab (AZD7442), long-acting antibody combination that inhibits attachment SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to surface cells, proved promising reducing incidence symptomatic or death high-risk individuals without major events when given as prophylaxis, well early treatment.
