The Relevance of Monoclonal Antibodies in the Treatment of COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Major efforts have been made in the search for effective treatments since the outbreak of the COVID-19 infection in December 2019. Extensive research has been conducted on drugs that are already available and new treatments are also under development. Within this context, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been the subject of widespread investigation focusing on two target-based groups, i.e., non-SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs, that target immune system responses, and SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs, designed to neutralize the virus protein structure. Here we review the latest literature about the use of mAbs in order to describe the state of the art of the clinical trials and the benefits of using these biotherapeutics in the treatment of COVID-19. The clinical trials considered in the present review include both observational and randomized studies. We begin by presenting the studies conducted using non-SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs for treating different immune disorders that were already on the market. Within this group of mAbs, we focus particularly on anti-IL-6/IL-6R. This is followed by a discussion of the studies on SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs. Our findings indicate that SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs are significantly more effective than non-specific ones.

Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies for treatment of COVID-19.

Project description:Several neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been developed and are now under evaluation in clinical trials. With the US Food and Drug Administration recently granting emergency use authorizations for neutralizing mAbs in non-hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19, there is an urgent need to discuss the broader potential of these novel therapies and to develop strategies to deploy them effectively in clinical practice, given limited initial availability. Here, we review the precedent for passive immunization and lessons learned from using antibody therapies for viral infections such as respiratory syncytial virus, Ebola virus and SARS-CoV infections. We then focus on the deployment of convalescent plasma and neutralizing mAbs for treatment of SARS-CoV-2. We review specific clinical questions, including the rationale for stratification of patients, potential biomarkers, known risk factors and temporal considerations for optimal clinical use. To answer these questions, there is a need to understand factors such as the kinetics of viral load and its correlation with clinical outcomes, endogenous antibody responses, pharmacokinetic properties of neutralizing mAbs and the potential benefit of combining antibodies to defend against emerging viral variants.

Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies for COVID-19 treatment and prevention.

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has caused unprecedented global health and economic crises. Several vaccine approaches and repurposed drugs are currently under evaluation for safety and efficacy. However, none of them have been approved for COVID-19 yet. Meanwhile, several nMAbs targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein are in different stages of development and clinical testing. Preclinical studies have shown that cocktails of potent nMAbs targeting the receptor binding site of SARS-CoV-2, as well as broad-nMAbs targeting conserved regions within the virus spike, might be effective for the treatment and prophylaxis of COVID-19. Currently, several clinical trials have started to test safety, tolerability, PKs and efficacy of these nMAbs. One paramount limitation for the use of nMAbs in clinical settings is the production of large amounts of MAbs and the high costs related to it. Cooperation among public and private institutions coupled with speed of development, rapid safety evaluation and efficacy, and early planning for scale-up and manufacture will be critical for the control of COVID-19 pandemic.

Treatment of COVID-19 by monoclonal antibodies and the traditional Chinese medicine.

Project description:The mortality rate of the recent global pandemic corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently as high as 7%. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the culprit behind COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped single-stranded RNA virus, the genome encodes four types of the structural proteins: S protein, E protein (envelope protein), M protein (matrix protein) and N protein (nucleocapsid protein). In COVID-19, monoclonal antibodies have played a significant role in diagnosis and treatment. This article briefly introduced the development of monoclonal antibodies targeting on S protein and N protein, which represents the main direction of monoclonal antibody drugs used in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the traditional Chinese medicine also plays important role in the fight against COVID-19 by regulating human immunity. The article introduced the use of traditional Chinese medicine in fighting against COVID-19.

Engineering monoclonal antibodies for COVID-19 prophylaxis.

Project description:The therapeutic and prophylactic uses of monoclonal antibodies (mABs) against SARS-CoV-2 are limited by their short half-life and need for intravenous delivery. In this issue, Cobb et al.1 engineer a neutralizing mAB cocktail with extended half-life that can be delivered intramuscularly to provide prophylactic protection against infection in rhesus macaques.

Tackling COVID-19 with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies.

Project description:Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have revolutionized the treatment of several human diseases, including cancer and autoimmunity and inflammatory conditions, and represent a new frontier for the treatment of infectious diseases. In the last 20 years, innovative methods have allowed the rapid isolation of mAbs from convalescent subjects, humanized mice, or libraries assembled in vitro and have proven that mAbs can be effective countermeasures against emerging pathogens. During the past year, an unprecedentedly large number of mAbs have been developed to fight coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Lessons learned from this pandemic will pave the way for the development of more mAb-based therapeutics for other infectious diseases. Here, we provide an overview of SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing mAbs, including their origin, specificity, structure, antiviral and immunological mechanisms of action, and resistance to circulating variants, as well as a snapshot of the clinical trials of approved or late-stage mAb therapeutics.

Monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of COVID-19 patients: An umbrella to overcome the storm?

Project description:The world is facing up the most considerable vaccination effort in history to end the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Several monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) direct against the Receptor binding domain of the S protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) received an Emergency Use Authorization for outpatient management of mild to moderate manifestation from COVID-19. MAbs could prevent the transmission SARS-CoV-2 infection and protect individuals from progression to severe disease. Under the pressure of different treatment strategies, SARS-CoV-2 has been demonstrated to select for different sets of mutations named "variants" that could impair the effectiveness of mAbs by modifying target epitopes. We provide an overview of both completed and unpublished, or ongoing clinical trials of mAbs used and review state of art in order to describe clinical options, possible indications, and the place in therapy for these agents in the treatment of COVID-19 with a particular focus on anti-spike agents. Then, we reassume the current evidence on mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 that might confer resistance to neutralization by multiple mAbs.

SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Project description:BackgroundMorbidity and mortality associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in kidney transplant recipients are high and early outpatient interventions to prevent progression to severe disease are needed. SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing mAbs, including bamlanivimab and casirivimab-imdevimab, received emergency use authorization in the United States in November 2020 for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 disease.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 27 kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with COVID-19 between July 2020 and February 2021 who were treated with bamlanivimab or casirivimab-imdevimab and immunosuppression reduction. We additionally identified 13 kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 who had mild to moderate disease at presentation, who did not receive mAbs, and had SARS-CoV-2 serology testing available.ResultsThere were no deaths or graft failures in either group. Both infusions were well tolerated. Four of the 27 patients treated with mAbs required hospitalization due to COVID-19. Four of 13 patients who did not receive mAbs required hospitalization due to COVID-19. Patients who received mAbs demonstrated measurable anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor blocking activity at the highest level detectable at 90 days postinfusion, whereas ACE2 blocking activity acquired from natural immunity in the mAb-untreated group was weak.ConclusionsBamlanivimab and casirivimab-imdevimab combined with immunosuppression reduction were well tolerated and associated with favorable clinical outcomes in kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with mild to moderate COVID-19.
