A Call to Action

Dinner will be provided.

Target Audience

This program is intended to educate infectious disease, internal medicine, and other clinicians involved in the management of patients who are at heightened risk for poor outcomes for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Program Description

Multiple anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have gained Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the US Food and Drug Administration for both treatment and prevention of COVID-19, though the presence of multiple new variants and subvariants has rapidly shifted mAb efficacy and EUA status. Clinicians struggle to remain up to date with a rapidly changing field that has remained a public health concern. A panel of experts will present data on and discuss current evidence and regulatory status for these anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs and available antivirals, updates to National Institutes of Health guidelines on patient identification and stratification for both treatment and prevention, implementation through COVID-19 clinic models, and strategies to reduce health care disparities. The panel will utilize additional experts to augment discussion and provide expertise on multiple topics.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Describe the clinical profiles, trial data, and regulatory status for anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs for preexposure prophylaxis and treatment
• Identify candidates for preexposure prophylaxis or treatment with anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs, including immunocompromised patients
• Collaborate with patients and other clinicians to overcome barriers to the use of anti-SARS-CoV-2 mAbs for preexposure prophylaxis or treatment
