Sotrovimab No Longer Authorized for COVID-19 Treatment in Some Regions

Sotrovimab No Longer Authorized for COVID-19 Treatment in Some Regions

3/25/22 — The FDA has rescinded EUA for sotrovimab to treat COVID-19 in HHS Regions 1 and 2 because the authorized dose is unlikely to be effective against the Omicron BA.2 sub-variant. CDC Nowcast data estimates that, as of March 19, 2022, the BA.2 sub-variant accounts for more than 50 percent of COVID-19 cases in these regions. HHS Regions 1 and 2 include the following states and territories: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
