Evusheld

[Nguyen]

Hello,

Is anyone on Evusheld particularly if you are being treated with Enhertu?

Evusheld is a pre-exposure prophylaxis medication for covid-19. It's composed of two mono-clonal antibodies tixagevimab and cilgavimab.

Thanks,

Nguyen

I started Evusheld the beginning of this year. So far so good! And no apparent side effects.

What month did you receive Evusheld? It does not work against XBB variants, so continue to stay safe!

"...As of January 26, 2023, tixagevimab/cilgavimab (EVUSHELD™), a combination of two monoclonal antibodies, is not currently authorized for use in the United States. EVUSHELD™ was previously recommended for pre-exposure prophylaxis to supplement vaccine protection; however, SARS-CoV-2 variants currently circulating in the United States are resistant to EVUSHELD™...."

I was told the trial has been canceled because it didnt seem effective against the new variants. Maybe an updated version is being worked on? I need to ask if I should get another booster when that becomes available. I continue to travel as much as I can and get out and about shopping, dining, seeing friends. My oncologist is a believer in living life to my fullest for as long as I can. And I agree.
