GlaxoSmithKline PLC said Friday that it has submitted an application for emergency authorization at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Covid-19 treatment together with Vir Biotechnology Inc.

The company said the drug, named VIR-7831, is an investigational, dual-action monoclonal antibody for the treatment of adults and adolescents with mild-to-moderate Covid-19 who are at risk for progression to hospitalization or death.

The submission is based on data from a Phase 3 clinical trial named COMET-ICE.

GlaxoSmithKline and Vir will continue discussions with the European Medicines Agency and other regulators around the world to make the drug available, Glaxo said.
