China gave on Wednesday the green light for the use of Brii Biosciences’ antibody cocktail treatment for COVID-19,  in the wake of an epidemic recovery and the appearance of the new Omicron variant.

A statement by Brii on Thursday said final results from a Phase III clinical trial showed an 80% reduction of hospitalization and deaths in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk of developing severe disease.

The treatment targets patients already affected by the virus, but Brii is also studying using the medicine as prevention of COVID-19.

China reported 83 new infections nationwide on Thursday.
