4. Casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail wins EUA in November

Space-filling model of the Fab fragments of the monoclonal antibodies casirivimab (REGN10933, blue) and imdevimab (REGN10987, orange) from Wikipedia.

Developer: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NSDQ:REGN)

Description: The cocktail has shown promise in treating patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who face a high risk of developing severe infection or hospitalization.

Development status: FDA allowed emergency use of the cocktail in Nov. 2020
