Dose-ranging Virology Trial
A companion dose-ranging Phase 2 trial of 803 outpatient COVID-19 patients was conducted to evaluate the antiviral effect of several different REGEN-COV doses (IV: 2,400 mg, 1,200 mg, 600 mg and 300 mg; SC: 1,200 mg and 600 mg). All tested doses met the primary endpoint, rapidly and significantly reducing patients' viral load (log10 copies/mL) compared to placebo (p£0.001). Each dose demonstrated similar efficacy, including the lowest doses tested (IV: 300 mg; SC: 600 mg).

SC works at lowest 600mg dose. Ya, more clinical test required; but checkmate is coming soon enough. Lower doses may lead to additional revenue?

REGN needs to develop a subcutaneous formulation.
How difficult is that? Presumably it's easier at lower doses. Might the threshold of possibility lie between 300 and 1200mg?

Pfizer's starting a Phase I trial of a pill to block viral replication in people with the first symptoms of Covid, bloomberg.com. It should be much quicker for REGN to gain approval for modified delivery.
