Abstract
We evaluated intramuscular (IM) versus intravenous (IV) administration of tixagevimab/cilgavimab in early COVID-19. Both routes achieved rapid elimination of culturable virus and minimal emergence of resistance. These results support IM delivery as a viable alternative to IV, with important implications for scalable deployment in future viral pandemics.
期刊介绍:
Open Forum Infectious Diseases provides a global forum for the publication of clinical, translational, and basic research findings in a fully open access, online journal environment. The journal reflects the broad diversity of the field of infectious diseases, and focuses on the intersection of biomedical science and clinical practice, with a particular emphasis on knowledge that holds the potential to improve patient care in populations around the world. Fully peer-reviewed, OFID supports the international community of infectious diseases experts by providing a venue for articles that further the understanding of all aspects of infectious diseases.
