Monoclonal Antibodies
Welcome

With more than 100 monoclonal antibiotics (mAbs) in use, harnessing this technology has advanced therapeutic development for COVID-19 and underscored their utility and versatility to respond rapidly to emerging global health threats.

Recent approvals and recommendations for mAbs in preventing and treating RSV and Ebola offer novel tools to control these (re) emerging viruses.

They also offer new avenues for preventing bacterial and parasitic infections, such as Clostridium difficile and Plasmodium falciparum (causative agent of malaria tropica in humans).

Those advances come hand-in-hand with educational needs to comprehend technology, pharmacological properties, challenges for equitable access, and recent clinical data.

In contrast to existing programs, this workshop provided a platform for cross-disciplinary discussion, catalyzedĀ knowledge transfer, and prompted the discussions on remaining unknowns to ultimately move the field forward.

Meeting Objectives
This meeting aims to:

- Provide a platform to summarize key data on the clinical utility of monoclonal antibodies for the prevention and treatment of infectious disease.

- Strengthen education on the monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for infectious diseases among healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers.

- Stimulate cross-disciplinary discussion on the clinical relevance of monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics in the context of public health emergencies and rethinking the approaches for conditions that are currently challenging to treat or prevent.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this activity, participants will be able to:

- Summarize the latest clinical data on the use of monoclonal antibodies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

- Comprehend key clinical considerations for the use of monoclonal antibodies in different priority populations (e.g. pediatrics, immunocompromised patients).

- Discuss the impact of microbial molecular evolution on the clinical utility of monoclonal antibodies.

- Reflect on barriers and opportunities for equitable access to mAb-based therapeutics.
