New Pacific Research Institute Brief: Regulatory Roadblocks Hinder Development of New COVID-19 Treatments for the Immunocompromised

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, March 6, 2024

Monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, work by mimicking the body's natural antibodies, which is why they are so valuable to treating the immunocompromised. Six different mAbs were authorized by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) early on during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the predominant COVID-19 strain -- the JN.1 variant -- shows numerous mutations all at once. As a result, the FDA has pulled authorization for current treatments as the current virus continues to mutate.

Key Points: 
  • "That's why it is so important that only scientific constraints limit patient access to mAb treatments, not misguided government policy or regulatory inefficiencies."
  • Monoclonal antibodies, or mAbs, work by mimicking the body's natural antibodies, which is why they are so valuable to treating the immunocompromised.
  • Winegarden argues that the federal regulatory environment should promote a wider array of treatment options, including the continued development of potentially efficacious mAbs.
  • The Pacific Research Institute ( www.pacificresearch.org ) champions freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility through free-market policy ideas.
