Hello all

does anyone have any further information about the monoclinal antibody drug Ronapreve. It is being used in USA Japan & Canada

A paper was published in BMJ in August 2021 .

Hi @ValH

Welcome to the Versus Arthritis forum.

I couldn’t find any reference to Ronapreve in the Versus Arthritis website or our forum just a limited number of online articles from other sources.

Here’s a link to a section of the versus arthritis website that might be useful albeit with no reference to Ronapreve:

https://www.versusarthritis.org/covid-19-updates/vaccines-for-covid-19-your-questions-answered/

I’ve not heard of Ronapreve but it’s possible that some forum members may have done so hopefully you will receive some useful feedback.

Best Wishes

It's already in use, I think, in UK, for covid patients who don't respond to other meds. I don't think any country is using it to actually prevent covid. That's for the vaccines.

Hi @ValH

I have found this government link on on Ronapreve that you might find useful.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-ronapreve/patient-information-leaflet-for-ronapreve

and also this information in their news story section

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/thousands-of-patients-to-benefit-from-life-saving-covid-19-treatment

I hope this is useful

Best Wishes
