Abstract
Introduction: Casirivimab/imdevimab (CAS/IMD) comprises two monoclonal antibodies that neutralize SARS-CoV-2. Pregnant individuals were excluded from initial trials, limiting safety data.
Methods: The COVID-19 International Drug Pregnancy Registry enrolled 53 pregnant women treated with CAS/IMD, with 34 live births.
Results: No safety concerns were identified.
Discussion and conclusions: The findings of the COVID-PR study support the safety of CAS/IMD during pregnancy, adding to the growing body of evidence on COVID-19 treatments for this population. The available literature shows that CAS/IMD is effective in preventing the progression to severe COVID-19 in pregnant individuals. The drugs are well-tolerated, and there is no compelling evidence of adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes. The results from the COVID-PR study are consistent with those of the broader literature.
