Regeneron reports nets sales of $1.218 billion for EYLEA
Net product sales in the US for EYLEA® was $1.218 billion with overall distributor inventory levels remaining within Regeneron’s one-to-two week projected range.

The companies plan for regulatory submission in the US and EU in Q1 20221. The EMA’s CHMP adopted a positive opinion for Dupixent, thus extending its approval in the EU for children with severe atopic dermatitis eligible for systemic therapy.
Regeneron’s COVID-19 treatment advancing well
Regeneron also submitted a request to the US FDA for Emergency Use Authorization for REGN-COV2 in patients having mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at risk of poor outcomes.

The company shared the data with authorities. The Independent Monitoring Committee recommended in October that the REGN-COV2 treatment studies for hospitalized patients needed modification.
