Effect of Bamlanivimab as Monotherapy or in Combination With Etesevimab on Viral Load in Patients With Mild to Moderate COVID-19
Effect of Bamlanivimab as Monotherapy or in Combination With Etesevimab on Viral Load in Patients With Mild to Moderate COVID-19
RCT for LY-CoV555 monotherapy and LY-CoV555/LY-CoV016 combination therapy with 592 patients showing lower hospitalization/ER visits with treatment.For viral load at day 11, a statistically significant reduction was found with combination therapy but not monotherapy.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance, however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes when combining the results of many trials.

risk of hospitalization/ER, 91.8% lower, RR 0.08, p = 0.04, treatment 0 of 31 (0.0%), control 7 of 52 (13.5%), continuity correction due to zero event (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm), LY-CoV555/LY-CoV016.
