answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2022 answer text <p>Immunocompromised individuals are a priority cohort for research into therapeutic and prophylaxis treatments, such as monoclonal antibody therapies and repurposed compounds.  The RAPID C-19 collaboration has enabled active multi-agency oversight of national and international trial evidence as it emerges for COVID-19 therapies, both in potential treatment and prophylactic indications. Where material evidence is identified, this has enabled the rapid formation and implementation of United Kingdom-wide clinical access policies. The RAPID C-19 collaboration actively reviews all promising compounds. To date, the evidence has most strongly supported treatment use, but the evidence around prophylactic use will continue to be actively reviewed.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 31/01/2022 17:15:11 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
