the Antibody “cocktail” regeneron was awarded to the American president Donald Trump, after being found positive in coronavirus. Speaking with “Kathimerini”, co-founder, president and chief science officer of the Greek-American company, George Giankopoulos, explained how they decided to give him this treatment, as well as why Trump was the “Ideal candidate” to be granted.
“We were contacted from the White House on October 1”says mr Giankopoulos And continues: “We announced the results of our clinical trials just two days ago. So we began the process to obtain an emergency license for the cocktail from the US Food and Drug Administration. Extensive discussions were held with his medical team and proceeded with the administration, because he was an ideal candidate ”.
So, Mr. Giankopoulos explain what it means “Ideal candidate” and what are its characteristics, saying that “This cocktail is particularly effective in patients who are in the early stages of COVID-19, have a high viral load, have mild to moderate symptoms, and have been unable to develop antibodies, or due to a weakened immune system, to develop antibodies.” . And adds that Especially the latter is a key factor. And, of course, it is suitable for people who are at higher risk of side effects of the disease, due to age or underlying diseases.
As to cocktail efficacy, the scientist emphasizes that “If administered on time, it reduces viral load levels by up to 99% and the shielding it provides lasts for several months.”. He even mentioned that Trump’s doctors “They chose to receive the largest possible dose of 8 grams, whereas they are usually given in weak doses of 2.4 grams.”
“The decision was theirs, perhaps due to excessive zeal, aiming for the best possible result and possibly the greatest possible coverage of the president, although we still don’t have a complete picture of all this. notes Mr. Giankopoulos and concludes regarding his deal Donald Trump: “The only thing that is certain is that the strongest dose carries almost no risk to the patient.”
