Thai Health Ministry starts trial of LAAB drug in immunocompromised patients

[snoop1130]

 

The Thai Ministry of Public Health has started administering a Long Acting Antibody (LAAB) treatment to three patients suffering from chronic kidney disease, to boost their immunity against COVID-19 infection, after it received the first lot of 7,000 doses of the medicine from AstraZeneca (Thailand) on Monday.

 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has estimated that there are about 500,000 people in Thailand who have been diagnosed as immunocompromised and who need the LAAB treatment.

 

The LAAB treatment, tradename “Evusheld” (Tixagevimab and Cilgavimab), will be used for people who are over 12 years old and weigh more than 40kgs who suffer from kidney disease, have had an organ transplant, are immunocompromised or who use immunosuppressants.
