Outcomes of pregnant women exposed to Sotrovimab for the treatment of COVID-19 in the BA.1 Omicron predominant era (PRESTO).

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Sotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody with efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 including certain Omicron variants, has been used in treatment of mild-moderate COVID-19. Limited data exists regarding its use in pregnant women. METHODS: Electronic medical record review of pregnant COVID-19 patients treated with sotrovimab from 12/30/21 - 1/31/22 (Yale New Haven Health Hospital System [YNHHS]) was performed. Included were pregnant individuals ≥ 12 years, weighing ≥ 40 kg, with positive SARS-CoV-2 test (within 10 days). Those receiving care outside YNHHS or receiving other SARS-CoV-2 treatment were excluded. We assessed demographics, medical history, and Monoclonal Antibody Screening Score (MASS). The primary composite clinical outcome assessed included emergency department (ED) visit < 24 h, hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and/or death within 29 days of sotrovimab. Secondarily, adverse feto-maternal outcomes and events for neonates were assessed at birth or through the end of the study period, which was 8/15/22. RESULTS: Among 22 subjects, median age was 32 years and body mass index was 27 kg/m2. 63% were Caucasian, 9% Hispanic, 14% African-American, and 9% Asian. 9% had diabetes and sickle cell disease. 5% had well-controlled HIV. 18%, 46%, and 36% received sotrovimab in trimester 1, 2, and 3, respectively. No infusion/allergic reactions occurred. MASS values were < 4. Only 12/22 (55%) received complete primary vaccination (46% mRNA-1273; 46% BNT162b2; 8% JNJ-78,436,735); none received a booster. CONCLUSIONS: Pregnant COVID-19 patients receiving sotrovimab at our center tolerated it well with good clinical outcomes. Pregnancy and neonatal complications did not appear sotrovimab-related. Though a limited sample, our data helps elucidate the safety and tolerability of sotrovimab in pregnant women.
