This video provides a concise update on the FDA’s decision to revoke Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for four monoclonal antibody treatments: bebtelovimab, Evusheld, sotrovimab, and REGEN-COV. These treatments were instrumental during earlier phases of the COVID-19 pandemic but have been rendered ineffective due to the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 variants that are not susceptible to them. The video explains how the FDA initially allowed healthcare facilities to retain these treatments in case future variants responded to them. However, with no signs of such variants emerging and most products now past their shelf life, the FDA has moved forward with their formal deauthorization.
The video also outlines the next steps for healthcare providers, who will receive instructions from the product sponsors on how to return and dispose of the remaining inventory. While highlighting the adaptability required in the ongoing battle against COVID-19, the video emphasizes the FDA’s commitment to updating public health strategies as the virus evolves.
