The FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the long-acting investigational IV monoclonal antibody pemivibart (Pemgarda – Invivyd) for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in persons ≥12 years old (weight ≥40 kg) who have moderate to severe immune compromise and are unlikely to respond adequately to COVID-19 vaccination (see Table 1). Pemgarda is the only drug that is currently authorized in the US for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. Tixagevimab/cilgavimab (Evusheld) was previously available under an EUA for this indication, but it lacks activity against currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
