Pre-exposure prophylaxis with tixagevimab/cilgavimab seems safe and lowered the risk of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection by ≈40% in vaccinated subjects with GD who received anti-CD20 therapy. Possible applications in the subset of patients who need immunosuppressive therapy, especially with rituximab, in a pandemic setting might be envisaged.
