Recently, the Italian Society of Anti-Infective Therapy (SITA) and the Italian Society of Pulmonology (SIP) published guidelines on the management of inpatients with COVID-19. The guidelines do not recommend the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in inpatients, pending results from clinical trials. However, recently the Italian Drug Agency (AIFA) has allowed for the use of casirivimab/imdevimab at higher doses in hospitalized seronegative patients with COVID-19. Furthermore, several other therapeutic options based on mAbs are about to become available for outpatients. Here we provide a brief summary of the future possibilities and summarize existing data.

Abstract

Recently, the Italian Society of Anti-Infective Therapy (SITA) and the Italian Society of Pulmonology (SIP) published guidelines on the management of inpatients with COVID-19. The guidelines do not recommend the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in inpatients, pending results from clinical trials. However, recently the Italian Drug Agency (AIFA) has allowed for the use of casirivimab/imdevimab at higher doses in hospitalized seronegative patients with COVID-19. Furthermore, several other therapeutic options based on mAbs are about to become available for outpatients. Here we provide a brief summary of the future possibilities and summarize existing data.
