However, treatments must demonstrate sufficient efficacy against Omicron and new variants. Ronapreve has been withdrawn from general use as it has since been found to be ineffective against the Omicron variant. We are therefore gathering data on how Evusheld performs against new variants.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 12/04/2022 12:18:33 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the number of clinically extremely vulnerable individuals who do not make antibodies through the vaccinations currently available but who would be protected by pre-exposure prophylaxis from monoclonal antibodies.
tabling member printed	Lord Mendelsohn
uin	HL7711
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2022 answer text <p>No current estimate has been made. However, work is underway with clinical experts to understand the size of the cohort and degree of immune response and determine the potential patient groups which may benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis monoclonal antibodies.</p><p>The OCTAVE study has evaluated the immune responses following COVID-19 vaccination in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. The initial data from the study showed that approximately 11% of immunocompromised patients fail to generate any antibodies four weeks after two vaccines and 40% of people in the patient groups studied mounted a low serological immune response after two vaccines. Further studies including OCTAVE-DUO will provide evidence on immune response following subsequent vaccine doses. The Department is examining how these results may be used to inform which patient groups could benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 12/04/2022 12:13:30 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

uin	HL7713
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2022 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Government is reviewing the Gambling Act to make sure it is fit for the digital age. We have been clear, however, that work to raise standards and tackle gambling-related harm should continue alongside the review, and does not need to wait for it to be concluded. We are determined to protect those at risk of gambling related-harm and welcome the new measures announced by the Advertising Standards Authority further to reduce the appeal of gambling adverts to children and to ensure that the content of gambling adverts is appropriate for the age-restricted nature of the products.</p><p>As part of the broad scope of the review, we called for evidence on the potential benefits or harms of allowing licensed gambling operators to advertise, engage in sponsorship arrangements, and make promotional offers. We are currently considering the evidence carefully and will publish a White Paper outlining our conclusions and any proposals for reform in the coming weeks.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay grouped question UIN HL7714 question first answered 12/04/2022 11:16:09 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
