AstraZeneca's COVID-19 antibody drug Evusheld is no longer authorized for use in the U.S., as it’s unlikely to work against strains of the virus that are now dominant across the country
This hasn’t just been a problem for Astra’s antibody. A U.S. National Institutes of Health panel had recommended against using any monoclonal antibodies to treat or prevent COVID in high-risk people because of the drugs’ waning effectiveness.
Evusheld was the last antibody left on the market after the FDA revoked other drugs’ authorizations due to variants. COVID antibody drugs made by Eli Lilly & Co., Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. and a partnership between GSK Plc and Vir Biotechnology Inc. have all been pulled from the market as well.
