Antiviral drugs likely remain effective against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, while monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies have experienced drops in neutralizing ability. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to estimate the comparative effectiveness of antivirals and mAb therapies for treating COVID-19 patients infected with Omicron, capturing primarily acute outcomes. We searched multiple databases from July 4 to July 19, 2022, with updates through November 4, 2022.

Introduction: This real-world study assessed the effectiveness of bebtelovimab (BEB) versus nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NR) among outpatients with COVID-19 during the Omicron variant era.
Methods: We conducted a cohort study evaluating patients treated with BEB or NR from February to August 2022 (study period). Follow-up began the day after treatment and continued for 30 days.

The receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) targets and facilitates the binding with the human ACE2 receptor and is also a target for most monoclonal antibodies for the inhibition process. The emerging mutations in the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 are problematic, as their local and non-local effects can disrupt the binding mechanism of the antibody with the coronavirus's viral protein, thus compromising the antibody's inhibitory function. In this study, we have employed molecular dynamics to elucidate the binding mechanism between human-derived monoclonal antibody, bebtelovimab, and the RBD of the viral spike protein and the effects of mutations on this binding.

Background: Outcomes after bebtelovimab treatment for COVID-19 were favorable for most but not all solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) during the era of Omicron BA.2 to BA.5, but effects of timing of bebtelovimab administration on these outcomes are unknown.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred significant endeavors to devise treatments to combat SARS-CoV-2. A limited array of small-molecule antiviral drugs, specifically monoclonal antibodies and interferon therapy, have been sanctioned to treat COVID-19. These treatments typically necessitate administration within ten days of symptom onset.
