ABSTRACT
Background:
Few data are available about comparison of different monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for COVID-19 in the real-world setting. We aim to compare effectiveness of bamlanivimab/etesevimab (BAM/ETE) versus (vs) casirivimab/imdevimab (CAS/IMD) and to estimate predictors of hospitalization/death.Methods:
Observational analysis of all consecutive outpatients (pts) with mild/moderate COVID-19 enrolled within the AIFA access program in a single center in Rome, from March to October, 2021. At first baseline (BL) visit, RT-PCR from nasopharyngeal swab with cycle thereshold (CT) measurement and viral sequencing was performed. Pts received intravenous BAM/ETE (700/1400 mg) or CAS/IMD (1200/1200 mg) and were followed through day 30. Primary endpoint was hospitalization/death due to severe COVID-19 by day 30. Average treatment effect (ATE) in the multiplicative scale of the odds was the chosen estimand to compare the two treatments, adjusted for age, obesity, time from onset to infusion, median C-reactive protein (CRP), vaccination, variant of concern (VOC) and BL-CT. Predictors of clinical failure were explored by two different models of multivariable logistic regression.Results:
242 pts receiving BAM/ETE (n=76) or CAS/IMD (n=166) were included (male 54%;median age 65 yrs;median SpO2 97%;diabetes 12%;hypertension 40%;CVD 17%;COPD 26%;autoimmune diseases 12%;immunodeficiency 18%). Median time from symptoms onset to infusion was 4 days (IQR 3-6). No differences were observed between the two MAbs for BL characteristics except for BMI>35 (BAM/ETE 24%, CAS/IMD 12%), CRP (BAM/ETE 1.8, CAS/IMD 1.2), vaccination (BAM/ETE 26%, CAS/IMD 46%) and distribution of VOC (Alpha 46% BAM/ETE vs 22% CAS/IMD;Gamma 20% vs 7%;Delta 5% vs 55%). Proportion of patients with COVID-related hospitalization/death by day 30 was 12/76 (15.8%) for BAM/ETE and 6/166 (3.6%) for CAS/IMD. Estimate of causal effect of BAM/ETE exposure compared to CAS/IMD on primary end point by ATE is reported in Table 1a. Factors associated with an increased risk of clinical failure by fitting multivariable logistic regression were BMI >35 and P1/Gamma VOC;higher BL-CT was associated with a reduced risk (Table 1b-1c).Conclusion:
In a real-life setting, receiving BAM/ETE was associated with a 4-fold higher risk of COVID-19 progression to hospitalization/death than CAS/IMD. SARS-CoV-2 P.1/Gamma, but not B.1617.2/Delta VOC, obesity and higher BL viral load also predicted an increased risk of clinical worsening.
