For In Vivo's 13th annual Deals of the Year contest, we selected 15 nominees in three categories – Top Alliance, Top Financing and Top M&A. The polls are closed, and it is time to reveal the winners.

The doses of bamlanivimab and etesevimab authorized for use in combination are a fraction of those shown to be effective in the Phase III BLAZE-1 trial; however, Phase II data, PK/PD modeling and in vitro data suggest the lower doses will have the same clinical impact as the higher-dose regimen, the FDA said.

US FDA's EUA allows lower doses of the two antibodies than were tested in BLAZE-1, which should extend current supply. With Amgen, Lilly hopes to manufacture 1 million doses by mid-year.

Neutralizing antibody bamlanivimab brought in $871m during the fourth quarter, skewing already solid growth upwards. Discussion of donanemab in Alzheimer’s dominated Lilly’s quarterly call.
