Regeneron’s Chief Executive Officer and President Leonard Schleifer M.D., Ph.D., said:

In 2021, Regeneron delivered strong results across our core business with impressive EYLEA and Dupixent growth, while also helping address the ongoing pandemic by delivering REGEN-COV to millions of patients

The CEO continued to say, For 2022, we remain focused on building on EYLEA’s success, expanding approvals and patient reach for Dupixent, pursuing new indications for Libtayo, and reading out data from our oncology pipeline – all while continuing to progress our diversified earlier-stage pipeline.

We also remain committed to our efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and address the significant need for effective treatments and preventative approaches to SARS-CoV-2.

The CEO claimed they’re working hard to successfully create next-gen antibodies that battle Omicron and other variants, showing how REGEN-COV isn’t effective against the Omicron variant.
