About
Sotrovimab is a newly developed monoclonal antibody for the treatment of mild and moderate COVID-19 patient, who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. This includes, for example, individuals who are 65 years of age and older or individuals who have certain medical conditions.
The safety and effectiveness of this investigational therapy continues to be evaluated for treatment of COVID-19. Sotrovimab is not authorized for patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 or require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19.
As the clinical trial results are too preliminary for the drug to enter routine use in UAE the drug approved only for emergency use, until further evidence shows Sotrovimab is effective, so we thought about this study as a tool to assess the success of Emirats Health service (EHS) strategy for fighting against COVID-19 outside the hospital setting.
