Regdanvimab in patients with mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection: A propensity score-matched retrospective cohort study

초록

Background: Regdanvimab (CT-P59) is a neutralizing antibody authorized in Republic of Korea for the treatment of adult patients with moderate or mild-COVID-19 who are not on supplemental oxygen and have high risk of progressing to severe disease (age & GE; 50 years or comorbidities). This study evaluated the clinical efficacy, safety and medical utilization/costs associated with real-world regdanvimab therapy.& nbsp;Methods: This non-interventional, retrospective cohort study included adult patients with confirmed mild-to moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients treated with regdanvimab were compared with controls who had received other therapies. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients progressing to severe/critical COVID-19 or death due to SARS-CoV-2 infection up to Day 28. Propensity score matching was applied to efficacy analyses.& nbsp;Results: Overall, 552 patients were included in the Safety and Efficacy Sets (regdanvimab, n = 156; control, n = 396) and 274 patients in the propensity score-matched (PSM) Efficacy Set (regdanvimab, n = 113; control, n = 161). In the PSM Set, the risk of severe/critical COVID-19 or death was significantly lower in the regdanvimab group (7.1% vs 16.1%, P = 0.0263); supplemental oxygen was required by 8.0% and 18.6% of patients in the regdanvimab and control groups, respectively (P = 0.0128). There were no unexpected safety findings in the regdanvimab group. Medical utilization analysis showed an overall cost reduction with regdanvimab compared with control treatments.& nbsp;Conclusions: Regdanvimab significantly reduced the proportion of patients progressing to severe/critical disease or dying of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study shows the potential benefits of regdanvimab in reducing disease severity and improving medical utility in patients with COVID-19.
