Assessing the post hoc effectiveness of tixagevimab-cilgavimab for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infections in solid organ transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tixagevimab-cilgavimab (Tix-Cil) was authorized for prophylaxis against COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients from December 2021 through January 2023. Real-world effectiveness for solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients has been unclear.

Methods

We enrolled 911 SOT recipients into a longitudinal COVID-19 serology study, of whom 381 (42%) received ≥1 dose of Tix-Cil. We collected and analyzed data on incident SARS-CoV-2 infections and antibody kinetics for all patients from January 2022 to March 2023, including periods dominated by Omicron BA and BQ subvariants.

Results

Over 253 ± 131 days of follow-up, there were 324 new-onset SARS-CoV-2 infections: 117 (31%) in Tix-Cil treated and 207 (39%) in Tix-Cil untreated patients (p = .012). In analyses adjusting f
