(Nasdaq: VIR) today announced an update tobioRxiv, a preprint server, with preclinical data demonstrating that sotrovimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody, retains activity against key mutations1of the new Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.529), including those found in the binding site of sotrovimab. These data were generated through pseudo-virus testing of specific individual mutations found in Omicron. To date, sotrovimab has demonstrated ongoing activity against all tested variants of concern and interest defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The companies are now completing in vitro pseudo-virus testing to confirm the neutralizing activity of sotrovimab against the combination of all the Omicron mutations with the intent to provide an update by the end of 2021.<blockquote>伦敦和三藩市，2021年12月2日（环球通讯社）--葛兰素史克公司（伦敦证券交易所/纽约证券交易所股票代码：GSK）和Vir Biotechnology，Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：VIR）今天宣布更新预印本服务器bioRxiv，临床前数据表明sotrovimab是一种在研单克隆抗体，保留了针对新Omicron SARS-CoV-2变体(B.1.1.529)的关键突变1的活性，包括在sotrovimab结合位点中发现的突变1的活性。这些数据是通过对在奥密克戎发现的特定个体突变进行假病毒测试而产生的。迄今为止，sotrovimab已显示出针对世界卫生组织(WHO)定义的所有受关注和感兴趣的测试变体的持续活性。两家公司目前正在完成体外假病毒测试，以确认sotrovimab对所有奥密克戎突变组合的中和活性，并打算在2021年底前提供更新。</blockquote> George Scangos, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Vir, said:“Sotrovimab was deliberately designed with a mutating virus in mind. By targeting a highly conserved region of the spike protein that is less likely to mutate, we hoped to address both the current SARS-CoV-2 virus and future variants that we expected would be inevitable. This hypothesis has borne out again and again – with its ongoing ability to maintain activity against all tested variants of concern and interest to date, including key mutations found in Omicron, as demonstrated by pre-clinical data. We have every expectation that this positive trend will continue and are working rapidly to confirm its activity against the full combination sequence of Omicron.”<blockquote>Vir首席执行官George Scangos博士表示：“Sotrovimab在设计时考虑到了一种突变病毒。通过靶向刺突蛋白中不太可能突变的高度保守区域，我们希望解决当前的新型冠状病毒病毒和我们预计不可避免的未来变种。这一假设已经一次又一次地得到证实——正如临床前数据所证明的那样，它能够持续保持针对迄今为止所有受关注和感兴趣的测试变种的活性，包括在奥密克戎发现的关键突变。我们完全预计这种积极趋势将持续下去，并正在迅速努力确认其针对奥密克戎全组合序列的活性。”</blockquote> Dr.Hal Barron, Chief Scientific Officer and President R&amp;D, GSK, said:“Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been working with Vir to combine our scientific expertise and technologies to deliver an enduring treatment option for patients with COVID-19. Though early, these pre-clinical data support our long-held view on the potential for sotrovimab to maintain its activity as the virus continues to mutate. We are pleased that this treatment option is available to patients in the US and many other countries, and are working to expand access worldwide.”<blockquote>葛兰素史克首席科学官兼研发总裁Hal Barron博士表示：“自大流行开始以来，我们一直与Vir合作，结合我们的科学专业知识和技术，为COVID-19患者提供持久的治疗选择。虽然还为时过早，但这些临床前数据支持了我们长期以来对随着病毒不断变异，sotrovimab有可能维持其活性。我们很高兴美国和许多其他国家的患者可以使用这种治疗方案，并正在努力扩大全球范围。”</blockquote> About SotrovimabSotrovimab is an investigational SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibody. The antibody binds to an epitope on SARS-CoV-2 shared with SARS-CoV-1 (the virus that causes SARS), indicating that the epitope is highly conserved, which may make it more difficult for resistance to develop. Sotrovimab, which incorporates Xencor’s Xtend™ technology, has also been designed to achieve high concentration in the lungs to ensure optimal penetration into airway tissues affected by SARS-CoV-2 and to have an extended half-life.<blockquote>关于SotrovimabSotrovimab是一种在研新型冠状病毒中和单克隆抗体。该抗体与新型冠状病毒上与SARS-CoV-1（导致SARS的病毒）共有的表位结合，表明该表位高度保守，这可能会使耐药性更难产生。Sotrovimab，结合了Xencor的Xtend™技术，也被设计成在肺中实现高浓度，以确保最佳渗透到受新型冠状病毒病影响的气道组织中，并具有延长的半衰期。</blockquote> Updated in vitro data, published in&nbsp;bioRxiv, demonstrate that sotrovimab retains activity against all current tested variants of concern and interest of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as defined by WHO, plus others, including but not limited to Delta (B.1.617.2), Delta Plus (AY.1 or AY.2), Mu (B.1.621) and key mutations of Omicron (B.1.1.529).<blockquote>更新的体外数据，发表于bioRxiv，证明sotrovimab对世卫组织定义的所有当前测试的关注和感兴趣的新型冠状病毒病毒变体以及其他变体保持活性，包括但不限于Delta（B.1.617.2）、Delta Plus（AY.1或AY.2）、Mu（B.1.621）和奥密克戎的关键突变（B.1.1.529）。</blockquote> About the sotrovimab clinical development program<blockquote>关于sotrovimab临床开发项目</blockquote> <ul> <li>COMET-ICE: a Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated an intravenous (IV) infusion of sotrovimab in adults with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk of progression to severe disease, who are not hospitalized and not requiring oxygen. The final COMET-ICE trial results in the full trial population of 1,057 participants demonstrated a 79% reduction (adjusted relative risk reduction) (p&lt;0.001) in hospitalization for more than 24 hours or death due to any cause by Day 29 compared to placebo, meeting the primary endpoint of the trial.

The trial’s primary endpoint was met, and headline data demonstrated that intramuscularly administered sotrovimab was non-inferior and offered similar efficacy to intravenous administration for high-risk populations. The companies plan to submit the complete COMET-TAIL data set to a peer-reviewed&nbsp;journal for publication in the first quarter of 2022.</li> <li>COMET-PEAK: a Phase 2, randomized, multi-center, parallel-group trial evaluating IV and IM administration of sotrovimab in outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Data available to date from open-label Part B of the trial (500mg IV vs. 500mg IM) demonstrated equivalence on the virological response between the IM and IV arms. The companies plan to submit the complete COMET-PEAK data set to a peer-reviewed journal for publication in due course.</li> <li>GSK and Vir are also partnering to investigate the use of sotrovimab in uninfected immunocompromised adults to determine whether sotrovimab can prevent symptomatic COVID-19 infection. GSK and Vir are supporting investigator-sponsored studies and fostering scientific collaborations with experienced investigators and networks involved in the continuum of care of immunocompromised patients, to understand the role sotrovimab for prophylaxis could play in this population.

(Nasdaq: VIR) today announced an update tobioRxiv, a preprint server, with preclinical data demonstrating that sotrovimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody, retains activity against key mutations1of the new Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.529), including those found in the binding site of sotrovimab. These data were generated through pseudo-virus testing of specific individual mutations found in Omicron. To date, sotrovimab has demonstrated ongoing activity against all tested variants of concern and interest defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The companies are now completing in vitro pseudo-virus testing to confirm the neutralizing activity of sotrovimab against the combination of all the Omicron mutations with the intent to provide an update by the end of 2021.<blockquote>伦敦和三藩市，2021年12月2日（环球通讯社）--葛兰素史克公司（伦敦证券交易所/纽约证券交易所股票代码：GSK）和Vir Biotechnology，Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：VIR）今天宣布更新预印本服务器bioRxiv，临床前数据表明sotrovimab是一种在研单克隆抗体，保留了针对新Omicron SARS-CoV-2变体(B.1.1.529)的关键突变1的活性，包括在sotrovimab结合位点中发现的突变1的活性。这些数据是通过对在奥密克戎发现的特定个体突变进行假病毒测试而产生的。迄今为止，sotrovimab已显示出针对世界卫生组织(WHO)定义的所有受关注和感兴趣的测试变体的持续活性。两家公司目前正在完成体外假病毒测试，以确认sotrovimab对所有奥密克戎突变组合的中和活性，并打算在2021年底前提供更新。</blockquote> George Scangos, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Vir, said:“Sotrovimab was deliberately designed with a mutating virus in mind. By targeting a highly conserved region of the spike protein that is less likely to mutate, we hoped to address both the current SARS-CoV-2 virus and future variants that we expected would be inevitable. This hypothesis has borne out again and again – with its ongoing ability to maintain activity against all tested variants of concern and interest to date, including key mutations found in Omicron, as demonstrated by pre-clinical data. We have every expectation that this positive trend will continue and are working rapidly to confirm its activity against the full combination sequence of Omicron.”<blockquote>Vir首席执行官George Scangos博士表示：“Sotrovimab在设计时考虑到了一种突变病毒。通过靶向刺突蛋白中不太可能突变的高度保守区域，我们希望解决当前的新型冠状病毒病毒和我们预计不可避免的未来变种。这一假设已经一次又一次地得到证实——正如临床前数据所证明的那样，它能够持续保持针对迄今为止所有受关注和感兴趣的测试变种的活性，包括在奥密克戎发现的关键突变。我们完全预计这种积极趋势将持续下去，并正在迅速努力确认其针对奥密克戎全组合序列的活性。”</blockquote> Dr.Hal Barron, Chief Scientific Officer and President R&amp;D, GSK, said:“Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been working with Vir to combine our scientific expertise and technologies to deliver an enduring treatment option for patients with COVID-19. Though early, these pre-clinical data support our long-held view on the potential for sotrovimab to maintain its activity as the virus continues to mutate. We are pleased that this treatment option is available to patients in the US and many other countries, and are working to expand access worldwide.”<blockquote>葛兰素史克首席科学官兼研发总裁Hal Barron博士表示：“自大流行开始以来，我们一直与Vir合作，结合我们的科学专业知识和技术，为COVID-19患者提供持久的治疗选择。虽然还为时过早，但这些临床前数据支持了我们长期以来对随着病毒不断变异，sotrovimab有可能维持其活性。我们很高兴美国和许多其他国家的患者可以使用这种治疗方案，并正在努力扩大全球范围。”</blockquote> About SotrovimabSotrovimab is an investigational SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibody. The antibody binds to an epitope on SARS-CoV-2 shared with SARS-CoV-1 (the virus that causes SARS), indicating that the epitope is highly conserved, which may make it more difficult for resistance to develop. Sotrovimab, which incorporates Xencor’s Xtend™ technology, has also been designed to achieve high concentration in the lungs to ensure optimal penetration into airway tissues affected by SARS-CoV-2 and to have an extended half-life.<blockquote>关于SotrovimabSotrovimab是一种在研新型冠状病毒中和单克隆抗体。该抗体与新型冠状病毒上与SARS-CoV-1（导致SARS的病毒）共有的表位结合，表明该表位高度保守，这可能会使耐药性更难产生。Sotrovimab，结合了Xencor的Xtend™技术，也被设计成在肺中实现高浓度，以确保最佳渗透到受新型冠状病毒病影响的气道组织中，并具有延长的半衰期。</blockquote> Updated in vitro data, published in&nbsp;bioRxiv, demonstrate that sotrovimab retains activity against all current tested variants of concern and interest of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as defined by WHO, plus others, including but not limited to Delta (B.1.617.2), Delta Plus (AY.1 or AY.2), Mu (B.1.621) and key mutations of Omicron (B.1.1.529).<blockquote>更新的体外数据，发表于bioRxiv，证明sotrovimab对世卫组织定义的所有当前测试的关注和感兴趣的新型冠状病毒病毒变体以及其他变体保持活性，包括但不限于Delta（B.1.617.2）、Delta Plus（AY.1或AY.2）、Mu（B.1.621）和奥密克戎的关键突变（B.1.1.529）。</blockquote> About the sotrovimab clinical development program<blockquote>关于sotrovimab临床开发项目</blockquote> <ul> <li>COMET-ICE: a Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated an intravenous (IV) infusion of sotrovimab in adults with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk of progression to severe disease, who are not hospitalized and not requiring oxygen. The final COMET-ICE trial results in the full trial population of 1,057 participants demonstrated a 79% reduction (adjusted relative risk reduction) (p&lt;0.001) in hospitalization for more than 24 hours or death due to any cause by Day 29 compared to placebo, meeting the primary endpoint of the trial.

The trial’s primary endpoint was met, and headline data demonstrated that intramuscularly administered sotrovimab was non-inferior and offered similar efficacy to intravenous administration for high-risk populations. The companies plan to submit the complete COMET-TAIL data set to a peer-reviewed&nbsp;journal for publication in the first quarter of 2022.</li> <li>COMET-PEAK: a Phase 2, randomized, multi-center, parallel-group trial evaluating IV and IM administration of sotrovimab in outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Data available to date from open-label Part B of the trial (500mg IV vs. 500mg IM) demonstrated equivalence on the virological response between the IM and IV arms. The companies plan to submit the complete COMET-PEAK data set to a peer-reviewed journal for publication in due course.</li> <li>GSK and Vir are also partnering to investigate the use of sotrovimab in uninfected immunocompromised adults to determine whether sotrovimab can prevent symptomatic COVID-19 infection. GSK and Vir are supporting investigator-sponsored studies and fostering scientific collaborations with experienced investigators and networks involved in the continuum of care of immunocompromised patients, to understand the role sotrovimab for prophylaxis could play in this population. Discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the prophylaxis program will take place in due course.</li> </ul> About global access to sotrovimab<blockquote><ul><li>COMET-ICE：一项3期、多中心、双盲、安慰剂对照试验研究了在进展为严重疾病的高风险、未住院且不需要氧气的轻中度新冠肺炎成人中静脉（IV）输注sotrovimab。在1,057名参与者的完整试验人群中，最终COMET-ICE试验结果显示，与安慰剂相比，第29天住院超过24小时或因任何原因死亡的人数减少了79%（调整后的相对风险降低）（p&lt;0.001），达到了试验的主要终点。中期数据发表于新英格兰医学杂志2021年10月27日，最终数据于2021年11月8日预发布medRxiv.</li><li>COMET-TAIL：一项3期、随机、多中心、开放标签、非劣效性试验，在高危非住院成人和儿童患者（12岁及以上）中，肌肉注射（IM）与静脉注射sotrovimab用于早期治疗轻度至中度新冠肺炎。该试验的主要终点达到了，主要数据表明，对于高危人群，肌肉注射sotrovimab并不劣效，并且提供了与静脉注射相似的疗效。两家公司计划将完整的彗尾数据集提交给同行评审期刊，以便于2022年第一季度发表。</li><li>COMET-PEAK：一项2期、随机、多中心、平行组试验，评估轻度至中度新冠肺炎门诊患者静脉注射和肌肉注射sotrovimab。迄今为止，来自试验开放标签B部分的可用数据（500mg IV vs.500mg IM）证明了IM组和IV组之间的病毒学应答等效。两家公司计划将完整的彗星峰值数据集提交给同行评审期刊，以便在适当的时候发表。</li><li>GSK和Vir还合作研究sotrovimab在未感染的免疫功能低下成人中的使用情况，以确定sotrovimab是否可以预防有症状的新冠肺炎感染。GSK和Vir正在支持研究者赞助的研究，并促进与参与免疫功能低下患者连续护理的经验丰富的研究者和网络的科学合作，以了解sotrovimab在该人群中的预防作用。将在适当的时候与监管机构讨论预防计划。</li></ul>关于sotrovimab的全球准入</blockquote> <ul> <li>Sotrovimab is authorized for emergency use in the United States.

(Nasdaq: VIR) today announced an update tobioRxiv, a preprint server, with preclinical data demonstrating that sotrovimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody, retains activity against key mutations1of the new Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant (B.1.1.529), including those found in the binding site of sotrovimab. These data were generated through pseudo-virus testing of specific individual mutations found in Omicron. To date, sotrovimab has demonstrated ongoing activity against all tested variants of concern and interest defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). The companies are now completing in vitro pseudo-virus testing to confirm the neutralizing activity of sotrovimab against the combination of all the Omicron mutations with the intent to provide an update by the end of 2021.\nGeorge Scangos, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Vir, said:“Sotrovimab was deliberately designed with a mutating virus in mind. By targeting a highly conserved region of the spike protein that is less likely to mutate, we hoped to address both the current SARS-CoV-2 virus and future variants that we expected would be inevitable. This hypothesis has borne out again and again – with its ongoing ability to maintain activity against all tested variants of concern and interest to date, including key mutations found in Omicron, as demonstrated by pre-clinical data. We have every expectation that this positive trend will continue and are working rapidly to confirm its activity against the full combination sequence of Omicron.”\nDr.Hal Barron, Chief Scientific Officer and President R&D, GSK, said:“Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been working with Vir to combine our scientific expertise and technologies to deliver an enduring treatment option for patients with COVID-19. Though early, these pre-clinical data support our long-held view on the potential for sotrovimab to maintain its activity as the virus continues to mutate. We are pleased that this treatment option is available to patients in the US and many other countries, and are working to expand access worldwide.”\nAbout SotrovimabSotrovimab is an investigational SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing monoclonal antibody. The antibody binds to an epitope on SARS-CoV-2 shared with SARS-CoV-1 (the virus that causes SARS), indicating that the epitope is highly conserved, which may make it more difficult for resistance to develop. Sotrovimab, which incorporates Xencor’s Xtend™ technology, has also been designed to achieve high concentration in the lungs to ensure optimal penetration into airway tissues affected by SARS-CoV-2 and to have an extended half-life.\nUpdated in vitro data, published in bioRxiv, demonstrate that sotrovimab retains activity against all current tested variants of concern and interest of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as defined by WHO, plus others, including but not limited to Delta (B.1.617.2), Delta Plus (AY.1 or AY.2), Mu (B.1.621) and key mutations of Omicron (B.1.1.529).\nAbout the sotrovimab clinical development program\n\nCOMET-ICE: a Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated an intravenous (IV) infusion of sotrovimab in adults with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk of progression to severe disease, who are not hospitalized and not requiring oxygen. The final COMET-ICE trial results in the full trial population of 1,057 participants demonstrated a 79% reduction (adjusted relative risk reduction) (p<0.001) in hospitalization for more than 24 hours or death due to any cause by Day 29 compared to placebo, meeting the primary endpoint of the trial. Interim data were published inThe New England Journal of Medicineon October 27, 2021 and final data were pre-published on November 8, 2021 onmedRxiv.\nCOMET-TAIL: a Phase 3, randomized, multi-center, open-label, non-inferiority trial of intramuscular (IM) versus IV administration of sotrovimab for the early treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in high-risk non-hospitalized adult and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older). The trial’s primary endpoint was met, and headline data demonstrated that intramuscularly administered sotrovimab was non-inferior and offered similar efficacy to intravenous administration for high-risk populations. The companies plan to submit the complete COMET-TAIL data set to a peer-reviewed journal for publication in the first quarter of 2022.\nCOMET-PEAK: a Phase 2, randomized, multi-center, parallel-group trial evaluating IV and IM administration of sotrovimab in outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Data available to date from open-label Part B of the trial (500mg IV vs. 500mg IM) demonstrated equivalence on the virological response between the IM and IV arms. The companies plan to submit the complete COMET-PEAK data set to a peer-reviewed journal for publication in due course.\nGSK and Vir are also partnering to investigate the use of sotrovimab in uninfected immunocompromised adults to determine whether sotrovimab can prevent symptomatic COVID-19 infection. GSK and Vir are supporting investigator-sponsored studies and fostering scientific collaborations with experienced investigators and networks involved in the continuum of care of immunocompromised patients, to understand the role sotrovimab for prophylaxis could play in this population. Discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the prophylaxis program will take place in due course.\n\nAbout global access to sotrovimab\n\nSotrovimab is authorized for emergency use in the United States. Xevudy (sotrovimab) received apositive scientific opinionunder Article 5(3) of Regulation 726/2004 from the Committee for Human Medicinal Products (CHMP) in the EU, has been granted a provisional marketing authorization in Australia, and conditional marketing authorization in Saudi Arabia. In Japan, it has been approved via the Special Approval for Emergency Pathway. Temporary authorizations for sotrovimab have been granted in a dozen countries.\nGSK and Vir also recently submitted the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency for Xevudy (sotrovimab) for the treatment of adults and adolescents (aged 12 years and over and weighing at least 40 kg) with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who do not require oxygen supplementation and who are at risk of progressing to severe COVID-19.\nSotrovimab is supplied in several countries worldwide, including through national agreements in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland and United Arab Emirates. We have also signed a Joint Procurement Agreement with the European Commission to supply doses of sotrovimab. Additional agreements are yet to be announced due to confidentiality or regulatory requirements.\n\nSotrovimab in the United StatesThe following is a summary of information for sotrovimab. Healthcare providers in the U.S. should review the Fact Sheets for information about the authorized use of sotrovimab and mandatory requirements of the EUA. Please see theFood and Drug Administration (FDA) Letter of Authorization, fullFact Sheet for Healthcare Providersand fullFact Sheet for Patients, Parents, and Caregivers.\nSotrovimab has been authorized by the US FDA for the emergency use described below. Sotrovimab is not FDA-approved for this use.\nSotrovimab is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of sotrovimab under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.\nAuthorized UseThe U.S. FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to permit the emergency use of the unapproved product sotrovimab for the treatment of mild-to-moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death.\nLimitations of Authorized UseSotrovimab is not authorized for use in patients:\n\nwho are hospitalized due to COVID-19, OR\nwho require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, OR\nwho require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 (in those on chronic oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19 related comorbidity)\n\nBenefit of treatment with sotrovimab has not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID‑19. SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients with COVID‑19 requiring high flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation.\nImportant Safety Information\nCONTRAINDICATIONS\nSotrovimab is contraindicated in patients who have a history of anaphylaxis to sotrovimab or to any of the excipients in the formulation.\nWARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS\nThere are limited clinical data available for sotrovimab. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with sotrovimab use.\nHypersensitivity Including Anaphylaxis and Infusion-Related Reactions\nSerious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been observed with administration of sotrovimab. If signs and symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care.\nInfusion-related reactions, occurring during the infusion and up to 24 hours after the infusion, have been observed with administration of sotrovimab. These reactions may be severe or life threatening.\nSigns and symptoms of infusion-related reactions may include: fever, difficulty breathing, reduced oxygen saturation, chills, fatigue, arrhythmia (eg, atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia, bradycardia), chest pain or discomfort, weakness, altered mental status, nausea, headache, bronchospasm, hypotension, hypertension, angioedema, throat irritation, rash including urticaria, pruritus, myalgia, vaso-vagal reactions (eg, pre-syncope, syncope), dizziness and diaphoresis.\nConsider slowing or stopping the infusion and administer appropriate medications and/or supportive care if an infusion-related reaction occurs.\nHypersensitivity reactions occurring more than 24 hours after the infusion have also been reported with the use of SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies under Emergency Use Authorization.\nClinical Worsening After SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal Antibody Administration\nClinical worsening of COVID‑19 after administration of SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody treatment has been reported and may include signs or symptoms of fever, hypoxia or increased respiratory difficulty, arrhythmia (eg, atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, bradycardia), fatigue and altered mental status. Some of these events required hospitalization. It is not known if these events were related to SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody use or were due to progression of COVID‑19.\nLimitations of Benefit and Potential for Risk in Patients with Severe COVID‑19\nBenefit of treatment with sotrovimab has not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID‑19. SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients with COVID‑19 requiring high flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation. Therefore, sotrovimab is not authorized for use in patients: who are hospitalized due to COVID‑19, OR who require oxygen therapy due to COVID‑19 OR who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID‑19 in those on chronic oxygen therapy due to underlying non‑COVID‑19 related comorbidity.\nADVERSE EVENTS\nHypersensitivity adverse reactions have been observed in 2% of patients treated with sotrovimab and 1% with placebo in COMET-ICE.\nThe most common treatment-emergent adverse events observed in the sotrovimab treatment group in COMET-ICE were rash (1%) and diarrhea (2%), all of which were Grade 1 (mild) or Grade 2 (moderate). No other treatment-emergent adverse events were reported at a higher rate with sotrovimab compared to placebo.\nUSE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS\nPregnancy\nThere are insufficient data to evaluate a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcome. Sotrovimab should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk for the mother and the fetus.\nLactation\nThere are no available data on the presence of sotrovimab in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production. Individuals with COVID-19 who are breastfeeding should follow practices according to clinical guidelines to avoid exposing the infant to COVID-19.\nAbout theVir andGSKCollaborationIn April 2020, Vir and GSK entered into a collaboration to research and develop solutions for coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
