Eli Lilly Asks FDA to Cancel COVID-19 Antibody Authorization

The pharmaceutical giant will use the antibody as part of a combination treatment for greater efficacy.

According to a recent Reuters article, drug giant Eli Lilly and Co. has requested that the FDA de-authorize its COVID-19 antibody, bamlanivimab. The unique request isn’t linked to safety issues, but in response to new variants of the virus that could be resistant to bamlanivimab when used alone. The government agreed, and stopped distribution of the therapy last month. Facilities that still have supply are being shipped etesevimab to pair with it for a combination treatment that’s more effective.
