A medicine that may treat and prevent Covid-19 is now being tested in patients in multiple sites around the US, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced. If successful, Regeneron hopes it could be available by the fall.

It is the first trial of a Covid-19 antibody cocktail in the United States. If successful, Regeneron hopes it could be available by the fall. The clinical trial started Wednesday.

Antibodies are proteins the body naturally makes to protect the body from a threat like Covid-19. To make what's called monoclonal antibodies for an antibody cocktail, scientists comb through thousands of antibodies to figure out which ones fight the novel coronavirus most effectively.

Tarrytown, New York-based Regeneron has successfully created other US Food and Drug Administration-approved antibody therapies that fight eye problems, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Regeneron's Ebola treatment worked so well, its clinical trial was stopped early in August 2019. Data showed it was better at saving lives than some of the other therapies being tested. The FDA accepted REGN-EB3 for priority review in April.

Regeneron scientists said they had spent years preparing for a pandemic like Covid-19."Most scientist have said for years there's potential for pandemics like this novel coronavirus to emerge," Regenron scientist Kristin Pascal previously told CNN."So we thought, let's be prepared."To get ready, Pascal and her team ran speed challenges to see exactly how fast they could create a treatment for an emerging threat.

MexicanVote What I want to know is why if this is pandemic why aren't the test done the same day for all mother's .. and give them resources to isolate themselves instead of sending a health officer to serve you and can get charged with a mistermineor.. that's I justice and I demand change

Everytime Carl Azuz freezes on my screen at school his mouth is open

May I suggest inoculating all your journalist first! Before the peacefull looters and rioters take your journalist apart!

Hydroxychloroquine

Fake news. They do this every 5 days, put out hope. Wash your hands comes on tv adds next, but protesting is ok.

Yeah it’s called the Trump medicine!!!!

The traitor in states 🖕🏽

Would love to see their documentation first, 2 companies already got busted for falsifying their claims.

Regeneron? Sounds like something out of Total Recall

US coronavirus deaths are already plummeting. Something the fakes at CNN will never tell you!

The government was going around the country killing people under the cover of coronavirus... starting with the most healthiest city in America, NYC. But protesters get out their houses and put an end to that mess setting back Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Count COVID-19 rise is poverty; tens of millions to billions of persons on global government handout lifelines. More being foisted into COVID-19's sea of poverty everyday excluding elites. The elites sail first class on government bailout vessels.

I haven’t seen CNN apologize to Trump yet for attacking him using the fake Lancet study. Crickets

Search for guinea pigs starts!

🙏🙏

At least they’re looking for the vaccine

This wont work

Ok, you first...

This is all the more reason for more funding dedicated to medical research

Good LUCK with that! By time they do find something, it will be Covid - 24 and back to square one.

Pump and dump

This just in! Hospitals receive $13,000 for every patient that dies from Covid19. Notice “ label” You could die from a gun shot, or a car crash and they would have said you died from covid.

,The world is waiting.

HERE IS YOU BREAKING NEWS!!! Have you heard, NO, I didn't thinks so... and you won't CNN MSNSBC ABC NBC CBS CONTINUES TO COVER UP THE DEMOCRATIC/SOCIALIST/ANTIFA TAKE OVER OF OUR AMERICAN STREETS.

Why are you guys ignoring IVERMECTIN? Iquitos went from 'Roque's experience illustrates the chaos the pandemic wrought on the region' to 'the reduction of infections and seriously ill patients due to the disease is clearly noticeable' in two weeks c'mon!

Praying and waiting for the success 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Only under Trump things can be done so fast.

CNN You’d think that with the world wide exposure of fake news, that you’d be looking to hire some actual real journalists before you absolutely go down!

Nous, résidents temporaires qui travaillons au CHSLD, NOUS NE SOMMES PAS IMMUNISÉS contre le virus. Nous voulons le même droit pour les demandeurs d'asile. Plus de discrimination systémique !!

We need 2 get ev1 on Hydroxychloroquine BEFORE the '2nd wave' then no one will get sick. I know I will start taking it, just like millions of ppl around the world. It is proven, Fauci knew in 2005, he wrote a paper about it. Why is MSM still trying 2 hide that fact?We know why...

The UK is testing two as well.

anyone who can see dis tweet pls follow me

Fear monger cnn will hope it fails

Great news! Wish you all the success 🙏🏻

Economic crime in progress. You cannot comprehensively test a new treatment that is also preventative in 2 months. They just want the stock price to react to this and take the cash and run.

We already have the hydroxychloroquine cocktail, and it works. Thanks!

finally!
