It was developed by Regeneron with Roche. Roche is sketchy af. It’s basically Remdesivir with an added mAb. Monoclonal antibody treatment.
“One of the mAbs is derived from a COVID-fighting immune cell taken from a human survivor of the disease. The other was produced in a mouse genetically modified to have a human immune system. The advantage of combining the two is that they target two different parts of the spike protein, many of which protrude from the coronavirus – these are what it uses to bind with ACE2. Using both reduces the chance of the virus escaping from the immune system.”
It’s worth noting that the antibody treatments have been shown to prolong viral shedding and keep the immune system from creating its own antibodies to COVID, at least in immunosuppressed patients.
US Media also reported that Trump was treated with a monoclonal antibody treatment from Regeneron when he was hospitalized with COVID (or whatever was released on the Rose Garden).
The version he used was not Ronapreve, as it is a combination of Regeneron’s mAb and Roche’s. He just got the Regeneron therapeutic.

Cheers buddy.
Best of luck to you, Kiwi fren. Praying for you all.
Did Trump take it or is our MSM lying again?
