SG acquires AstraZeneca's Evusheld

Evusheld is a long-acting antibody candidate for COVID-19 treatment.

The government of Singapore has signed a purchase agreement with AstraZeneca to deliver Evusheld, its long-acting antibody (LAAB) combination candidate, for the treatment of COVID-19.

The supply will arrive in Singapore by year-end.

"Evusheld provides healthcare professionals and patients in Singapore with a new option to fight the virus. Additionally, Evusheld will provide another prevention option for high-risk populations, alongside vaccines, including for people who are immunocompromised and unable to develop the needed degree of protective response following COVID-19 vaccination," AstraZeneca Singapore Country President Vinod Narayanan said.

A Phase III trial showed an 88% reduced risk of severe COVID-19 or death when patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 were treated within three days of symptom onset. AstraZeneca has this week received Emergency Use Authorization for Evusheld from the US Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of COVID-19 and has filed for regulatory approvals in other countries.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
