Receiving immunosuppressive treatment
Additional high-risk factors in patients aged 12-17 years
BMI >85th percentile for their age and sex based on CDC growth charts
Sickle cell disease

Asthma, reactive airway disease, or other chronic respiratory disease requiring daily medication for control
IV Preparation
Casirivimab and imdevimab IV solution are each supplied in individual single-dose vials and must be diluted before administration
Remove vials from refrigerated storage and allow to equilibrate to room temperature for ~20 minutes before preparation
Do not expose to direct heat; do not shake vials
Inspect for particulate matter and discoloration; solution should appear clear to slightly opalescent and colorless to pale yellow
Obtain IV bag of 0.9% NaCl 250-mL; withdraw and discard 20 mL of 0.9% NaCl from infusion bag before adding casirivimab and imdevimab solutions
Add casirivimab 1200 mg (10 mL) and imdevimab 1200 mg (10 mL) from each respective vial using 2 separate syringes and dilute together in the infusion bag containing 0.9% NaCl
Discard any product remaining in the vial
Gently invert infusion bag by hand ~10 times to mix; do not shake
This product is preservative-free and therefore, diluted infusion solution should be administered immediately; if immediate administration is not possible, refrigerate diluted casirivimab and imdevimab infusion solution
IV Administration
If refrigerated, allow diluted solution to equilibrate to room temperature for ~30 minutes before infusing
Infuse IV over 60 minutes
Infuse by PVC infusion set containing 0.20/0.22-micron in-line polyethersulfone (PES) filter
Attach infusion set to IV bag and prime infusion set
Flush line after infusion completed to ensure entire dose delivered
Discard unused product
Monitor during infusion and observe patients for at least 1 hr after infusion completed
Contra Indications
Precautions
Limitations of use
Benefit of treatment not been observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19
Monoclonal antibodies may be associated with worse clinical outcomes when administered to hospitalized patients with COVID-19 requiring high-flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation
Not authorized for use in patients
who are hospitalized due to COVID-19, OR
who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, OR
who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 in those on long-term oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19-related comorbidity
Hypersensitivity
Potential for serious hypersensitivity reaction, including anaphylaxis
If signs and symptoms occur, immediately discontinue IV infusion and initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive care
Infusion-related reactions reported, including fever, chills, nausea, headache, bronchospasm, hypotension, angioedema, throat irritation, rash including urticaria, pruritus, myalgia, dizziness
Severe COVID-19
Treatment benefit not observed in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19

Therefore, casirivimab and imdevimab are not authorized for use in patients H5
who are hospitalized due to COVID-19, OR
who require oxygen therapy due to COVID-19, OR
who require an increase in baseline oxygen flow rate due to COVID-19 in those on long-term oxygen therapy due to underlying non-COVID-19-related comorbidity
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
Insufficient data to evaluate drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk for the mother and fetus
Lactation
Data are unknown regarding presence in human or animal milk, effects on breastfed infants, or effects on milk production
Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk
Interactions
Not renally excreted or metabolized by CYP450 enzymes
Interactions with concomitant renally excreted drugs or drugs that are CYP450 substrates, inducers, or inhibitors are unlikely

Mode of Action
Casirivimab (IgG1-kappa) and imdevimab (IgG1-lambda) are recombinant human mAbs, which are unmodified in the Fc regions
The mAbs bind to nonoverlapping epitopes of the spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2, and thereby block binding to the human ACE2 receptor
