COVID-19
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company has announced a plan of action in response to COVID-19. Their plan since the outbreak of the virus is to develop a plasma-derived therapy; an anti-SARS-CoV-2 polyclonal-hyper-immune-globuli that is designed specifically for high risk patients.
The company's therapy includes concentrated pathogen-specific antibodies that are derived from plasma of recovered patients. Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company believes the antibodies have the potential to generate an immune response when injected into a new patient.
