The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus caused the rapid global spread of COVID-19, and while coronavirus is often mild and self-limiting, approximately 10% of mild SARS-CoV-2 infections progress to severe symptoms, including respiratory distress syndrome, and up to 20% of symptomatic patients develop critical disease with clinical complications including pneumonia and hyper-inflammation. Several repurposed drugs have been used to treat patients hospitalized with serious COVID-19 disease, with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) being one of the first therapies offered by the FDA. But despite promising results, the demand for treatment for mild-to-moderate COVID-19 has not met expectations, as many health care providers may not be familiar with or aware that preventative treatments are available for mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
This CME Outfitters Live and OnDemand on early intervention treatments following diagnosis of COVID-19 as a way to reduce progression to severe disease will include the latest data on the efficacy and safety of mAb therapies and strategies for addressing knowledge and practice barriers to improve patient access to these therapies.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Integrate screening assessments for the early and accurate diagnosis of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 to guide treatment decision-making in high-risk patient groups.
- Apply the latest data on the efficacy and safety of monoclonal antibody therapies to treatment decisions for patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
- Implement strategies to address knowledge and practice barriers to patient access to infusion service for monoclonal antibody therapy.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Summarize screening assessments used for the early and accurate diagnosis of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 to guide treatment decision-making in high-risk patient groups.
- Discuss the latest data on the efficacy and safety of monoclonal antibody therapies to treatment decisions for patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
- Describe strategies to address knowledge and practice barriers to patient access to infusion service for monoclonal antibody therapy.
