Urgent Monoclonal Antibody Update
Beginning Monday, December 21: If a patient arrives for a monoclonal antibody treatment and confirmed SPO2 is <94, he or she will be referred back to the referring provider without receiving infusion. 94% saturation is the cut off for differentiating between moderate and severe in the NIH Guidelines for severity of disease in COVID-19.
This information is for health care providers who are interested in referring a COVID-19 patient for bamlanivimab or casirivimab/imdevimab (monoclonal antibody treatment).
The FDA has paused distribution of bamlanivimab or ete together and estesimab alone on a national basis until further notice. The FDA recommends health care providers use alternative authorized MAB therapies (Casirivimab/Imdevimab or Sotrovimab) until further notice.
Criteria
See adult and pediatric order forms for inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Cost
The federal government is providing monoclonal antibody therapy at no cost to patients. However, health care providers may charge an administration fee for treatment.
