- None
Short-Term Effects
- See “What Are Side Effects Associated with Using Atoltivimab-Maftivimab-Odesivimab?”
Long-Term Effects
- See “What Are Side Effects Associated with Using Atoltivimab-Maftivimab-Odesivimab?”
Cautions
- Hypersensitivity reactions reported, including infusion-associated events during and after infusion
- Monitor for signs and symptoms including but not limited to hypotension, chills, and elevation of fever, during and after infusion
- If a severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue monoclonal antibodies immediately and administer appropriate emergency care
- Drug interaction overview
- Avoid coadministration of live vaccine during treatment
- Potential for monoclonal antibodies to inhibit replication of live vaccine virus indicated for prevention of Zaire ebolavirus infection and possibly reduce vaccine efficacy
- Follow current immunization guidelines for the interval needed between monoclonal antibodies and administering the live vaccine
Pregnancy and Lactation
- Zaire ebolavirus infection is life-threatening for both the mother and fetus, and its treatment should not be withheld during pregnancy; the majority of such pregnancies result in maternal death with miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death
- Data from clinical trials and an expanded access program demonstrate a high rate of maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity consistent with published literature regarding the risk associated with underlying maternal Zaire ebolavirus infection
- Data are insufficient to evaluate a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal/fetal outcome
- Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted
- Human monoclonal antibodies cross the placenta; therefore, monoclonal antibodies can potentially be transferred from mother to fetus
- Lactation
- The CDC recommends patients with confirmed Zaire ebolavirus not to breastfeed their infants to reduce the risk for postnatal transmission
- Data are not available on the presence of the drug in human or animal milk or its effects on breastfed infants and milk production
- Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk
