COVID-19 treatment linked to B.C. biotech
shows signs of reducing hospitalizations

What happened: COVID-19 treatment developed in part by a
Vancouver company is showing signs of reducing hospitalizations

Why it matters: Federal government has allocated $175 million to
AbCellera to develop therapeutic antibodies

A COVID-19 treatment that emerged from a partnership between
a B.C. biotech company and an American pharmaceutical giant is
producing positive results in clinical trials.

The pharmaceutical company reports the rate of hospitalizations
and emergency room visits for those treated with the antibody
known as LY-CoV555 was 1.7% compared with 6% for those
treated with a placebo.

Lilly said this represents a 72% risk reduction, while the treatment
was “well-tolerated, with no drug-related serious adverse events
reported” among those taking LY-CoV555.

In May, Ottawa earmarked $175 million for AbCellera to pursue
the development, manufacturing and distribution of therapeutic
antibodies.
