EU approves Evusheld as treatment for COVID-19

AstraZeneca's (LSE: AZN) Evusheld (tixagevimab and cilgavimab) has been approved for a second indication in Europe.

Evusheld was previously granted marketing authorization in the European Union (EU) for the prevention of COVID-19 and is already available in a majority of countries in Europe.

It has now been approved in the EU for the treatment of adults and adolescents—aged 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kg—with COVID‑19 who do not require supplemental oxygen and who are at increased risk of progressing to severe disease.
