Resistance conferring mutations in SARS-CoV-2 delta following sotrovimab infusion
39th treatment shown to reduce risk in
May 2023 *, now known with p = 0.0017 from 22 studies, recognized in 37 countries.
Efficacy is variant dependent.
|
Retrospective 100 sotrovimab patients in Australia, 23 PCR+ more than 10 days post-infusion (68 with status unknown), showing rapid development of spike gene mutations that have been shown to confer high level resistance to sotrovimab in vitro.
Efficacy is variant dependent. In Vitro studies predict lower efficacy for BA.1 Liu, Sheward, VanBlargan, BA.4, BA.5 Haars, XBB.1.9.3, XBB.1.5.24, XBB.2.9, CH.1.1 Pochtovyi, and no efficacy for BA.2 Zhou, ХВВ.1.9.1, XBB.1.16, BQ.1.1.45, and CL.1 Pochtovyi. US EUA has been revoked.

ABSTRACT (100 words)
Several Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) neutralising
monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have received emergency use authorisation by regulatory
agencies for treatment and prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), including in
patients at risk for progression to severe disease. Here we report the persistence of viable
SARS-CoV-2 in patients treated with sotrovimab and the rapid development of spike gene
mutations that have been shown to confer high level resistance to sotrovimab in vitro. We
highlight the need for SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance in at risk individuals to inform
stewardship of mAbs use and prevent potential treatment failures.
