Markets Steady Ahead of Fed Decision and Key Tech Earnings: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 29, 2026 5:16 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures were slightly higher on Wednesday but remained close to flat, as investors braced for a wave of major announcements that could influence market direction. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged, though reports suggest it may adopt a more hawkish tone in its policy statement. At the same time, several mega-cap technology firms are set to report earnings, with particular focus on their spending around artificial intelligence. In Europe, a heavy slate of corporate results is also underway, while Donald Trump has reportedly instructed aides to prepare for a prolonged blockade of Iranian ports.
Futures Tick Slightly Higher
U.S. stock futures moved modestly higher early in the session, ahead of what is shaping up to be one of the busiest trading days of the year.As of 03:26 ET, Dow futures were up 47 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 futures gained 5 points, or 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 85 points, or 0.3%.Wall Street’s main indices declined in the previous session, largely due to concerns about the financial health of OpenAI after a report from The Wall Street Journal indicated the company had missed certain revenue and user targets. Stocks linked to OpenAI, either through partnerships or investments, also came under pressure.Meanwhile, ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran continued to weigh on sentiment, with stalled negotiations delaying any reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which has effectively been shut to shipping for weeks. Oil prices have risen as a result, raising concerns about inflation and global growth.Despite these headwinds, corporate earnings have shown resilience. According to Reuters, just over one-third of S&P 500 sectors have reported results so far, with 81% of companies exceeding expectations.
Fed Decision in Focus
The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged within a range of 3.5% to 3.75% at the conclusion of its two-day meeting, as policymakers assess the inflationary impact of geopolitical tensions.Reports from the The Wall Street Journal suggest the Fed could adjust its forward guidance in a more hawkish direction by removing references to potential rate cuts in 2026.The meeting may also mark one of the final press conferences by Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term is set to expire in May.“Powell’s (supposedly) final press conference shouldn’t rock the boat, but he could err a bit on the hawkish side given the lack of progress in the Gulf,” analysts at ING Group said in a note.Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh has been nominated by Trump as Powell’s successor, with the Senate Banking Committee expected to vote on his confirmation this week.
Tech Earnings Take Center Stage
Investors are also closely watching a wave of earnings reports, particularly from major technology firms whose heavy investment in AI has fueled recent market gains.Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) are all scheduled to release results after the close.Following the negative sentiment sparked by the OpenAI report, these earnings will serve as a key test for confidence in the AI-driven market rally.“[P]articipants will be looking not only for the classic ‘beat and raise’ from these ‘Magnificent Seven’ names, but also for clarity as to the scale of capital expenditure over coming quarters, the source of that expenditure, and the timeframe over which a return on said investment is likely to be achieved,” said Michael Brown.“With the sector coming into earnings, essentially, at record highs, we are to a degree ‘priced for perfection’, leaving little room for disappointment, and with the market hence likely to punish any sub-par reports.”Beyond tech, companies including AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV), Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:REGN), and Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) are also due to report.
European Earnings Flood Markets
Amid the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, several major European companies released results earlier in the day.Adidas AG saw its shares jump more than 7% after reporting stronger-than-expected first-quarter operating profit, despite a “very volatile and heavily discounted” retail environment.UBS Group AG rose after posting an 80% increase in quarterly profit, supported by strong trading and client activity linked to market volatility.STMicroelectronics advanced to its highest level since 2024 following better-than-expected results.Airbus SE edged higher after reaffirming its annual delivery targets, even as it faces supply challenges from Pratt & Whitney.Mercedes-Benz Group AG posted modest gains despite weaker revenue, while Banco Santander hovered near flat after reporting a 12.5% rise in underlying profit.
Trump Prepares for Extended Iran Blockade
Donald Trump has instructed his team to prepare for a prolonged blockade of Iran, according to a report by the The Wall Street Journal.Citing U.S. officials, the report said the strategy would focus on intensifying pressure on Iran’s oil exports and restricting shipping access, with a blockade seen as a lower-risk option compared to renewed large-scale military action or rapid diplomatic efforts.This approach follows a ceasefire in April that halted a major bombing campaign but left regional tensions unresolved.According to the report, Trump recently rejected a three-step proposal from Iran that would have allowed an early reopening of the Strait of Hormuz while postponing nuclear negotiations, considering it insufficient to meet U.S. demands.The report added that Trump remains firm on requiring Iran to suspend uranium enrichment for at least 20 years and accept additional long-term restrictions.Alphabet stock priceMicrosoft stock priceAmazon stock priceMeta stock priceAbbVie stock priceRegeneron Pharmaceuticals stock pricePhillips 66 stock price

Fed Chair Speculation, Apple Results and Shutdown Deal Shape Market Moves: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJanuary 30, 2026 5:24 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures edged lower on Friday as investors assessed growing speculation that Kevin Warsh could be named the next chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Corporate news provided some support, led by a strong earnings update from Apple, while precious metals pulled back from record highs. Meanwhile, political risk eased after signs emerged that a U.S. government shutdown has likely been avoided.
Apple delivers standout quarter and upbeat outlook
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported results that comfortably exceeded expectations for both revenue and profit in its fiscal first quarter, which includes the key holiday period. The group posted its strongest quarterly iPhone sales growth in more than four years, with iPhone revenue surging 23.3% year on year to $85.27bn, the largest increase since the fourth quarter of 2021.Demand has been particularly strong for the latest iPhone 17 range, especially higher-end Pro models, helping Apple lift its global smartphone market share to around 20% in 2025 from 18% a year earlier. The company also surprised on guidance, forecasting revenue growth of up to 16% for the March quarter, driven by sustained iPhone demand, a sharp recovery in China and accelerating momentum in India. Operating expenses are expected to come in between $18.4bn and $18.7bn, slightly higher than in the first quarter.Despite the strong performance, Apple acknowledged ongoing supply-side challenges. “We’re currently constrained. And at this point, it’s difficult to predict when supply and demand will balance,” CEO Tim Cook said, adding, “we’re seeing less flexibility in supply chains than normal, partly because of our increased demand that I just spoke about.” The company, like many peers, continues to face tight availability of memory chips, which is weighing on production.
U.S. futures slip as investors turn cautious
U.S. stock futures traded lower as risk appetite softened ahead of the expected Fed announcement. By 03:25 ET, S&P 500 futures were down 55 points, or 0.8%, Nasdaq 100 futures had fallen 240 points, or 0.9%, and Dow futures were lower by around 400 points, or 0.8%.Wall Street ended Thursday’s session mixed. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite closed lower, dragged down by weakness in technology stocks following earnings-related losses at Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged modestly higher. For the week so far, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are both up close to 0.8%, while the Dow is slightly negative.Attention is also turning to another busy earnings day, with results due from Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), American Express (NYSE:AXP), Verizon (NYSE:VZ), Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:REGN) and Aon (NYSE:AON).
Kevin Warsh emerges as leading Fed contender
President Donald Trump said late Thursday that he will unveil his nominee to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair later in the session, fuelling speculation that former Fed governor Kevin Warsh is the frontrunner. “A lot of people think that this is somebody that could have been there a few years ago,” Trump said. “It’s going to be somebody that is very respected, somebody that’s known to everybody in the financial world.”Those remarks have been widely interpreted as pointing to Warsh, who lost out to Powell for the role in 2017 during Trump’s first term. Reports from Reuters said Warsh visited the White House on Thursday, while both the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg indicated the administration is preparing to nominate him.Warsh is generally viewed as supportive of lower interest rates, aligning more closely with Trump’s policy preferences, but is also seen as a relatively moderate choice compared with some other names floated for the role. Trump has repeatedly criticised Powell for not cutting rates as aggressively as he wanted, a dispute that has raised concerns about central bank independence. Those concerns intensified earlier this month when Powell suggested that a criminal investigation into a Fed renovation project was politically motivated.
Shutdown risk eases after last-minute deal
Political uncertainty also eased after lawmakers reached a late-night agreement to prevent another U.S. government shutdown. The White House and Senate Democrats agreed to advance a large package of spending bills, while splitting out the Department of Homeland Security budget and funding that agency at current levels for an additional two weeks.Saturday had been the deadline to pass five spending bills required to keep much of the government operating. The Trump administration previously endured a 43-day shutdown last autumn. Democrats had resisted backing DHS funding without changes to immigration enforcement tied to Trump’s mass deportation programme. The compromise is seen as buying time for further negotiations, particularly following renewed scrutiny of enforcement policies after the deaths of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.
Gold, silver and oil pull back from recent peaks
Precious metals retreated sharply after reaching record levels, as expectations of a less dovish Fed chair candidate boosted the U.S. dollar. Spot gold fell 3.1% to $5,184.26 an ounce, while April gold futures dropped 4.1% to $5,151.24 per ounce. Even after the pullback, gold remains up more than 20% so far in January, on track for a sixth consecutive monthly gain and its strongest monthly rise since 1982.Other metals also cooled after a volatile week. Spot silver slid 7.3% to $106.073 an ounce after hitting a record high on Thursday, while platinum dropped 8.5% to $2,394.98 an ounce.Oil prices eased following a three-day rally, though both benchmarks remained on course for strong weekly gains amid concerns that potential U.S. military action against Iran could disrupt supplies. Brent crude slipped 1.8% to $68.36 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate fell 1.8% to $64.24. Both were still set to rise by more than 5% on the week.OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, are due to meet on Sunday. Recent reports suggest the group is likely to keep output unchanged, having paused monthly production increases from January after raising supply by around 2.9 million barrels per day through 2025, a move that had previously weighed heavily on oil prices amid fears of oversupply and softer global demand.Apple stock priceExxonMobil stock priceChevron stock priceAmerican Express stock priceVerizon Communications stock priceRegeneron Pharmaceuticals stock priceAon stock price

REGN Regeneron brings its antibody chops to gene editing's biggest problem, aiming to 'change the field'
By Andrew Dunn, Biopharma Correspondent for Endpoints In Focus
September 18, 2023 10:00
TARRYTOWN, NY — For over three decades, Regeneron has been synonymous with one thing in the drug industry: antibodies. Blockbusters like Dupixent, Eylea, and Covid-19 antibodies have transformed what started as a scrappy startup into one of biotech’s biggest names.
But the billionaire co-founders who still run the $91 billion giant, CEO Leonard Schleifer and CSO George Yancopoulos, have spent nearly the last decade working on the company’s next act. They have partnered, built, and bought their way into genetic medicine, going beyond antibodies into CRISPR, RNA interference, and other technologies that manipulate the genetic code of life.
It’s an audacious bet on the future of the drug industry. And even though Regeneron’s success has come from antibodies, its leaders believe new therapies may dominate its next age.
Not only is the biotech co-developing the most clinically advanced in vivo CRISPR therapy with Intellia Therapeutics and an Alzheimer’s RNA interference drug candidate with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, it’s also quietly working on — and increasingly excited about — some earlier, less heralded research that could change the field. Its leaders believe it can crack the delivery problem that holds back the entire space. Doing so would bring genetic medicines beyond the liver to reach more parts of the body, in the process greatly expanding the medical — and commercial — possibilities of the technology.
“While everybody else was so hyped and giving Nobel Prizes for CRISPR and all that, we realized those weren’t really the limitations,” Yancopoulos, Regeneron’s chief scientific officer, told Endpoints News during an interview at the company’s Tarrytown headquarters. “The limitations were really delivery.”
Regeneron is tapping its decades-long expertise in antibodies, attaching these proteins to standard viral vectors so they hunt for specific types of cells in the body. Research is early, with no timetable on reaching the clinic, but results in mice and non-human primates have emboldened the company’s scientific leaders on the promise of the idea. If it works, Regeneron could crack the delivery challenge that has held the entire field back for years, ultimately bringing technological breakthroughs like CRISPR and RNAi to far more diseases.
“We believe we’ve become leaders in that space,” Yancopoulos said of the delivery idea. “We will hopefully be announcing programs where we’re using biologicals to deliver genetic payloads, which we think has the chance to really continue to change the field.”
There’s still a long journey ahead into making this reality. Academics first tried the idea of attaching antibodies to viral vectors in the 1990s with moderate success, but challenges in making such a complex product have deterred industry interest. Before this idea reaches the clinic, Regeneron will need to convince regulators it has the manufacturing chops to attach these antibodies to viruses in a consistent way so batches look the same. Gene therapy experts said scaling up will be a key challenge.
Still, Regeneron carries unique credibility with its deep pockets and decades of antibody experience.
“Regeneron has certainly been the leader in designing and producing specific antibodies that could be used for this purpose,” said Barry Byrne, director of the University of Florida’s gene therapy center. “They’re the ones who will probably make this work.”
Whether using a hollowed-out virus or a lipid nanoparticle, delivering genetic cargo in the body is frustratingly hard. These carriers predominantly wind up in the liver, the body’s clearinghouse organ.
While that can address diseases caused by genes expressed in liver cells, that’s not most illnesses. The brute force approach, upping doses to try to reach other organs, comes at the expense of the liver, leading to patient deaths in some gene therapy clinical studies.
Christos Kyratsous
“You have to give so much vector that you’re overwhelming your liver, and your liver enzymes go crazy,” said Christos Kyratsous, co-head of Regeneron’s genetic medicines team. “That becomes the major limitation for delivering the interesting payloads.”
The delivery problem has caused the field to crowd into the same liver-based targets, such as PCSK9, to slash cholesterol. Other efforts, like the sickle cell CRISPR gene-editing program now being reviewed by the FDA, avoid delivery altogether by using an ex vivo process closer to arduous transplant surgery than a typical drug.
The delivery work is one part of a sprawling genetics strategy at Regeneron, which started in 2014 with the launch of its Regeneron Genetics Center. That has become one of the world’s largest DNA-reading efforts, having sequenced 2 million genomes and counting, leading to over 10 new genetic targets tied to diseases like obesity or liver disease.
Walking around the RGC, sequencing machines tower over and outnumber white-coated scientists toiling at lab benches. It’s far more common for its 170 employees to log on remotely to check experiments or let robotic systems whiz around to handle routine tasks like pipetting.
Regeneron has inked collaborations with Decibel Therapeutics and Alnylam over the past few years, respectively working on CRISPR gene editing, gene therapy, and RNA interference to advance that RGC research. In August, Regeneron made an extraordinarily rare M&A move, agreeing to buy Decibel and its gene therapy work.
Regeneron now has six genetic medicines in its pipeline and more than 30 preclinical programs. But even as the field has generated excitement with the first US approvals for gene therapies, RNAi drugs, and mRNA vaccines all since 2017, its potential still dwarfs its current impact. The pesky delivery problem looms over the entire field.
Regeneron hopes its antibody idea can reach more organs, starting with the muscle and the brain. Preclinical data are encouraging, independent experts told Endpoints.
Regeneron’s most advanced program attaches an antibody targeting a protein found in muscle cells called CACNG1 to a viral vector. Mice and non-human primate studies showed massive boosts in reaching muscle cells, alongside big drops in entering the liver and heart compared to an unmodified version of the virus, according to data presented at this year’s American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy meeting.
“This is unlocking an entirely new space in terms of delivery and what you can actually do with all these genetic medicines,” Kyratsous said.
Christina Pacak, a University of Minnesota gene therapy researcher, called the data exciting, adding she’s hopeful for the approach.
“If we can increase safety, reduce costs, and just lower what patients are exposed to, that’s an enormous advantage,” said Pacak, who’s not involved with Regeneron’s research.
***
For Regeneron’s early results, other experts said they are encouraging but not industry-shaking.
“Super-beautiful data. It’s impressive,” said Nicole Paulk, CEO of the gene therapy startup Siren Biotechnology. “But it doesn’t look different magnitude-wise on either purposeful targeting or detargeting to any of the novel capsids. Competitive, but not different.”
Startups like Dyno Therapeutics, Solid Biosciences, Capsida Biotherapeutics, and Apertura Gene Therapy are all tinkering with AAVs, or adeno-associated viruses, to get beyond the liver. (Paulk sits on Dyno’s scientific advisory board.) Outside of AAVs, other startups focused on delivery include Aera Therapeutics, Ensoma, and ReCode Therapeutics.
Even as more startups take on delivery, Regeneron stands alone with its antibody idea. In a sign of its progress, its AAV-focused team has grown from the single digits about seven years ago to now several hundred people.
Outside experts repeatedly mentioned scaling up production as the key challenge to watch. Siren’s Paulk said manufacturing challenges have limited the idea’s potential for decades, as attaching antibodies can be inconsistent and finicky. Paulk said Regeneron would need to have a production trick up its sleeve to address those challenges.
“Every lot becomes a snowflake, and that becomes a challenge for the FDA,” Paulk said. “I don’t see a way this moves forward. I hope I’m dead wrong.”
David Schaffer, a bioengineering researcher at UC Berkeley, called Regeneron’s results “interesting” but noted in an email it may be “technically challenging to scale reproducibly and robustly.”
Regeneron’s leaders said they are confident in meeting that challenge. Kyratsous said they are advancing two methods of attaching antibodies to viruses, adding they’ve seen consistent results in scaling both ideas so far.
“We don’t want to over-engineer something and make something that is very cool on paper or works very well in small animal models, and you cannot scale it up for human use,” he added.
Regeneron’s leaders pointed to their experience in mass-producing antibodies and the expanding AAV team.
“We’re moving toward clinical-scale virus production,” said Leah Sabin, executive director of Regeneron’s genetic medicines unit.
Sabin said they are debating what muscle diseases to prioritize for the clinic, while a brain-targeting program is now being tested in non-human primates. The team is already mulling what tissues to target next.
“The current capsids are not good enough,” Sabin said. “They’re fine, but what would be industry-altering is having this completely new, way more efficient way to get them there.”

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced that Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has approved Regeneron's casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail to treat patients with mild to moderate COVID-19. This marks the first time the antibody cocktail, known as REGEN-COVTM in the U.S. and Ronapreve™ in other countries, has received a full approval to treat COVID-19. Emergency or temporary pandemic use authorizations are currently in place in more than 20 countries, including in the U.S., European Union, India, Switzerland and Canada.
"After a record-speed discovery and development program, we are pleased that our COVID-19 antibody cocktail continues to reach even more people around the globe," said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of Regeneron. "Unfortunately, this virus continues to spread despite increasing rates of vaccination, and there will be an important continued need for treatments that remain active against the variants of concern."
In Japan, the antibody cocktail was granted a Special Approval Pathway under article 14-3 of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act. The approval was based on results from a Phase 3 trial in high-risk non-hospitalized patients, which showed the antibody cocktail reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 70%, as well as results from a Phase 1 trial that examined the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in Japanese people.
Regeneron invented REGEN-COV and is collaborating with Roche to increase global supply of the antibody cocktail, with Roche primarily responsible for development and distribution outside the U.S. In December 2020, Chugai obtained development and exclusive commercialization rights in Japan from Roche, and is working with the Japanese government to ensure an appropriate and timely supply of the antibody cocktail.
The development and manufacturing of REGEN-COV have been funded in part with federal funds from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, under OT number: HHSO100201700020C.
About the REGEN-COV Antibody Cocktail
REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) is a cocktail of two monoclonal antibodies that was designed specifically to block infectivity of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, using Regeneron's proprietary VelocImmune® and VelociSuite® technologies. The two potent, virus-neutralizing antibodies that form the cocktail bind non-competitively to the critical receptor binding domain of the virus's spike protein, which diminishes the ability of mutant viruses to escape treatment and protects against spike variants that have arisen in the human population, as detailed in Science.
Over the past few months Regeneron has announced results from multiple Phase 3 trials demonstrating the ability of REGEN-COV to reduce the burden of COVID-19, from prevention through to hospitalization. This includes trials assessing the ability of REGEN-COV to treat outpatients already infected with SARS-COV-2 (including symptomatic outpatients and recently infected asymptomatic patients) and in certain hospitalized patients, including the RECOVERY trial.
Multiple analyses, including a recent publication in Cell, have shown that REGEN-COV retains potency against the main variants of concern circulating within the U.S.; consequently, REGEN-COV remains available for use in all 50 states. REGEN-COV retains potency against variants including Delta (B.1.162.2; first identified in India), Gamma (P.1; first identified in Brazil), Beta (B.1.351; first identified in South Africa).
REGEN-COV is available throughout the U.S. – information on availability in your area is available from the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Infusion Center Association. REGEN-COV has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but is currently authorized in the U.S. under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing ≥40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. This use is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner. REGEN-COV is not authorized for use in patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 or require oxygen therapy, or for people currently using chronic oxygen therapy because of an underlying comorbidity who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19.
In the U.S., REGEN-COV can be administered by intravenous infusion (as short as 20 minutes) or by subcutaneous injection (4 injections), which is an alternative when intravenous infusion is not feasible and would lead to a delay in treatment. It is now authorized as a co-formulated single vial, or in individual vials to be administered together.
Regeneron and Roche share a commitment to making the antibody cocktail available to COVID-19 patients around the globe and will support access in low- and lower-middle-income countries through drug donations to be made in partnership with public health organizations.
About Regeneron's VelocImmune Technology
Regeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create approximately a quarter of all original, FDA-approved fully human monoclonal antibodies currently available. This includes REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent® (dupilumab), Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb™ (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn).
AUTHORIZED USE AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
REGEN-COV, (casirivimab and imdevimab) co-formulated product and REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) supplied as individual vials to be administered together, is authorized for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. [see Limitations of Authorized Use]
REGEN-COV has not been approved, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA
This use is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner
Healthcare providers should review the Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers for information on the authorized use of REGEN-COV and mandatory requirements of the EUA and must comply with the requirements of the EUA. The FDA Letter of Authorization is available for reference, as well as the Dear Healthcare Provider Letter and Patient Fact Sheet
Limitations of Authorized Use
REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) is not authorized for use in patients:
who are hospitalized due to COVID-19, OR
who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, OR
who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 in those on chronic oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19 related comorbidity
Benefit of treatment with REGEN-COV has not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies, such as REGEN-COV, may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients with COVID-19 requiring high-flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation
Definition of High Risk Patients
The following medical conditions or other factors may place adults and pediatric patients (age 12-17 years and weighing at least 40 kg) at higher risk for progression to severe COVID-19:
Older age (for example, age ≥65 years of age)
Obesity or being overweight (for example, BMI >25 kg/m2, or if age 12-17, have BMI ≥85th percentile for their age and gender based on CDC growth charts, https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/clinical_charts.htm)
Pregnancy
Chronic kidney disease
Diabetes
Immunosuppressive disease or immunosuppressive treatment
Cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension
Chronic lung diseases (for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma [moderate-to-severe], interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension)
Sickle cell disease
Neurodevelopmental disorders (for example, cerebral palsy) or other conditions that confer medical complexity (for example, genetic or metabolic syndromes and severe congenital anomalies)
Having a medical-related technological dependence (for example, tracheostomy, gastrostomy, or positive pressure ventilation (not related to COVID 19))
Other medical conditions or factors (for example, race or ethnicity) may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19 and authorization of REGEN-COV under the EUA is not limited to the medical conditions or factors listed above.
For additional information on medical conditions and factors associated with increased risk for progression to severe COVID, see the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html. Healthcare providers should consider the benefit-risk for an individual patient.
Circulating SARS-CoV-2 viral variants may be associated with resistance to monoclonal antibodies. Healthcare providers should review the Antiviral Resistance information in Section 15 of the Fact Sheet for details regarding specific variants and resistance, and refer to the CDC website (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/transmission/variant-cases.html) as well as information from state and local health authorities regarding reports of viral variants of importance in their region to guide treatment decisions.
Important Safety Information
REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) is an unapproved investigational therapy, and there are limited clinical data available. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with REGEN-COV use
Warnings and Precautions:
Hypersensitivity Including Anaphylaxis and Infusion-Related Reactions: Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been observed with administration of REGEN-COV. If signs or symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, immediately discontinue administration and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions occurring more than 24 hours after the infusion have also been reported with the use of REGEN-COV under EUA. Infusion-related reactions, occurring during the infusion and up to 24 hours after the infusion, have been observed with administration of REGEN-COV. These reactions may be severe or life threatening
Signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions may include: fever, difficulty breathing, reduced oxygen saturation, chills, nausea, arrythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, bradycardia), chest pain or discomfort, weakness, altered mental status, headache, bronchospasm, hypotension, hypertension, angioedema, throat irritation, rash including urticaria, pruritus, myalgia, vasovagal reactions (e.g., pre-syncope, syncope), dizziness, fatigue and diaphoresis. Consider slowing or stopping the infusion and administer appropriate medications and/or supportive care if an infusion-related reaction occurs
Clinical Worsening After REGEN-COV Administration: Clinical worsening of COVID-19 after administration of REGEN-COV has been reported and may include signs or symptoms of fever, hypoxia or increased respiratory difficulty, arrythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, bradycardia), fatigue, and altered mental status. Some of these events required hospitalization. It is not known if these events were related to REGEN-COV use or were due to progression of COVID-19
Limitations of Benefit and Potential for Risk in Patients with Severe COVID-19: Benefit of treatment with REGEN-COV has not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies, such as REGEN-COV, may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients with COVID-19 requiring high-flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation. Therefore, REGEN-COV is not authorized for use in patients who are hospitalized due to COVID-19, OR who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, OR who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 in those on chronic oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19–related comorbidity
Adverse Reactions:
In a pooled phase 1/2/3 analysis of COV-2067, infusion-related reactions (adverse event assessed as causally related by the investigator) of grade 2 or higher severity have been observed in 10/4,206 (0.2%) of those who received REGEN-COV at the authorized dose or a higher dose
Overall, in Phase 1/2/3, three subjects receiving the 8,000 mg dose of REGEN-COV, and one subject receiving the 1,200 mg casirivimab and 1,200 mg imdevimab, had infusion-related reactions (urticaria, pruritus, flushing, pyrexia, shortness of breath, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, rash) which resulted in permanent discontinuation of the infusion. All events resolved
Anaphylactic reactions have been reported in the clinical program in subjects receiving REGEN-COV. The events began within 1 hour of completion of the infusion, and in at least one case required treatment including epinephrine. The events resolved
The safety with subcutaneous administration is based on analysis from HV-2093, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetic profile in healthy volunteer adult subjects. Subjects were randomized 3:1 to REGEN-COV (n=729) or placebo (n=240). Injection site reactions were observed in 12% and 4% of subjects following single dose administration in the casirivimab and imdevimab, and placebo arms respectively; the remaining safety findings with subcutaneous administration in the casirivimab and imdevimab arm were similar to the safety findings observed with intravenous administration in COV-2067
Patient Monitoring Recommendations: Clinically monitor patients during infusion and observe patients for at least 1 hour after intravenous infusion or subcutaneous dosing is complete
Use in Specific Populations:
Pregnancy: There are insufficient data to evaluate a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. REGEN-COV should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk for the mother and the fetus
Lactation: There are no available data on the presence of casirivimab and/or imdevimab in human milk or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for REGEN-COV and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from REGEN-COV or from the underlying maternal condition
