India on Wednesday granted emergency use authorization for an antibody cocktail used to treat COVID-19 as the country battles a devastating surge in coronavirus cases.
The approval for the drug, developed by Roche and Regeneron, was based on data filed by the U.S. and the “scientific opinion” of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, a European Union medical agency, according to a press release from Indian pharmaceutical company Cipla.
The drug is meant for high-risk patients who fall ill with mild to moderate cases of COVID-19. It has been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death by 70 percent, compared to a placebo, according to Cipla.
