FDA declines Invivyd's request to expand PEMGARDA EUA to COVID-19 treatment; prophylaxis EUA unchanged
Invivyd, Inc.
- FDA declined expansion of PEMGARDA EUA for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 treatment in immunocompromised patients with no alternative options.
- FDA reasoning: immunobridging must show superior antiviral activity, not just equivalence, to prior mAbs like adintrevimab.
- Invivyd provided data showing comparable antiviral activity and predicted clinical efficacy above convalescent plasma.
- Existing PEMGARDA EUA for pre-exposure prophylaxis remains in effect; treatment opportunity not in prior financial guidance.
