Sotrovimab in SARS-COV-2 chronic hemodialysis patients in the Omicron era. Is intradialytic administration feasible? Report of 4 cases

J Nephrol. 2023 Apr;36(3):669-672. doi: 10.1007/s40620-022-01449-z. Epub 2022 Sep 13.

Abstract

Chronic hemodialysis patients are at high risk of morbidity and mortality in case of SARS-CoV-2 infection and they may need to be treated with monoclonal antibodies, either because they have not been vaccinated, or because they have a low anti spike antibody titer. Administration of Sotrovimab has recently been proposed for hemodialysis patients, but data are on the results lacking. We report on four cases of chronic dialysis patients who received Sotrovimab during intermittent dialysis sessions. In our series, no adverse reactions were recorded; intradialytic administration resulted safe and allowed an adequate observation time without prolonging hospital stay in chronic hemodialysis outpatients.
