Answer by DrLact: About REGN727 monoclonal antibody usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of REGN727 monoclonal antibody during breastfeeding. Because REGN727 monoclonal antibody is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 146,000, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, REGN727 monoclonal antibody should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
