  <ShortSummary>Letter notes healthcare professionals must follow the MHRA approved conditions for Ronapreve 120 mg/ml Solution for Injection or Infusion when administering ‘Casirivimab and Imdevimab 120 mg/ml Concentrate for Solution for Infusion’.</ShortSummary>
  <Comment>&lt;p&gt;The MHRA has granted Ronapreve&amp;reg; a Conditional Marketing Authorisation for the prophylaxis and treatment of acute Covid-19 infection. Casirivimab and imdevimab are monoclonal antibodies that bind to non-overlapping epitopes of the spike protein receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to facilitate patient access to treatment, the MHRA has approved a Batch Specific Variation for cartons of &amp;lsquo;Casirivimab and Imdevimab 120 mg/ml Concentrate for Solution for Infusion&amp;rsquo;, which have been used around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic, for use in the UK under the conditions required for Ronapreve 120 mg/ml Solution for Injection or Infusion. It is currently not known how long this stock will be on the UK market before authorised stock is supplied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Healthcare professionals must ensure they are using the correct authorised conditions, as outlined in this communication, and that cartons of &amp;lsquo;Casirivimab and Imdevimab 120 mg/ ml Concentrate for Solution for Infusion&amp;rsquo; are not used past the expiry date authorised by the MHRA (12 month shelf life; not the 24 month shelf life stated on the cartons).&lt;/p&gt;</Comment>
