Core period visits (drug prescription):
Visit 1 (Day 0-1) The conduct of Visit 1 takes place only after the patient has signed an informed consent form and the doctor-researcher has checked whether the inclusion/inclusion criteria are met)
* Blood sampling to determine the level of antigen-specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and viral neutralizing activity of patients' blood sera against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus before drug using
* Sampling (nasal and oropharyngeal mucosa swabs) for PCR research or sequencing and viral load analysis
* Injection of the testing drug
* Interviewing the patient about subjective symptoms.
* Assessment of vital signs (BP, pulse and body tº measurements, pulse oximetry (SpO2) and frequency of breathing.
* ADR registration.
* Blood sampling to determine the level of antigen-specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and viral neutralizing activity of patients' sera against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus immediately after administration testing drugs (Tixaghevimab/cilgavimab or Regdanvimab).
Visit 2 (Day 4)
* Physical exam.
* Collection of data on concomitant therapy.
* Assessment of vital signs: blood pressure, pulse and body tº measurements, pulse oximetry (SpO2) and frequency of breathing.
* Clinical blood count.
* Biochemical blood count.
* Sampling (nasal and oropharyngeal swabs) for PCR screening or sequencing and viral load analysis
* Blood sampling to determine the level of antigen-specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and viral neutralizing activity of patients' sera against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus immediately after administration of the testing drugs (Tixaghevimab/cilgavimab or Regdanvimab).
* ADR registration.
Procedures for an unscheduled safety visit In case of clinical or laboratory signs of adverse reactions associated with the testing drug, an unscheduled visit should be scheduled. In addition to the scheduled emergency procedures and/or examinations, information on the combination therapy and adverse events is collected at the visit.
Minimum list of procedures for an unscheduled visit:
* Interviewing the patient about subjective symptomatology.
* Assessment of vital signs (BP, pulse and body tº measurements), pulse oximetry (SpO2) and frequency of breathing.
* Clinical blood count (may be ordered by the examining physician)
* Biochemical blood count (may be ordered by the examining physician)
* Registration and evaluation of ADR. Reporting to pharmacovigilance authorities (Roszdravnadzor) and to the pharmacovigilance department of the marketing authorization holder.
After the patient monitoring procedure, the efficacy and safety endpoints of the study drugs will be evaluated.
The volume of patients included in the study was formed on the basis of available resources and laboratory test capabilities related to efficacy endpoints of the investigational drugs, as well as clinical experience on the prescription of investigational drugs in scientific publications on this topic. After estimating the distribution of the sample, in the case of a non-normal distribution will be used nonparametric statistical methods for data analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics V.22. Numeric variables Numerical variables will be presented as medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs). Quantitative variables will be compared using Mann-Whitney U test and/or one-way Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance. Fisher's exact test or χ2-square test will be used for qualitative variables. For all tests, p-value \< 0,05 is considered statistically significant.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Viral neutralizing activity of patients' blood serum against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus (Wuhan and Omicron/ sublines BA.1, BA.2, BA.5) On the first (0) day before the drug is administered; on the first day after the drug is administered; on the fourth day (4) after the drug is administered Preparation of serum samples for viral neutralizing activity analysis and determination of the level of viral neutralizing antibodies.
Blood serum samples were inactivated at 56°C for 30 minutes in a solid-state thermostat. The neutralization reaction was performed in the constant dose-virus-serum dilution variant. Serum dilutions in DMEM culture medium with 2% inactivated fetal bovine serum were prepared, then 50 µl of serum dilutions were mixed with 100 TCID50 of SARS-CoV-2 virus (50 µl), incubated for 1 hour at 37°C and added to Vero E6 cells. The cells were incubated at 37ºC in 5% CO2, after 96 hours the cytopathic effect of the virus on the cell culture was recorded visually by assessing the disruption of the cell monolayer. The highest dilution of the tested serum, at which the cytopathic effect was suppressed, was taken as the viral neutralizing activity titer of the serum under study.Viral load in nasopharyngeal swabs of patients by real-time PCR On the first (0) day ; on the fourth day (4) Virus production, determination of infectious titer, and confirmation by PCR. Virus accumulation was performed in Vero E6 cells in DMEM medium with 2% inactivated FBS. The culture fluid containing the virus was aliquoted, frozen, and stored at -80C. The infectious virus titer was determined on Vero E6 cells by TCID50 determination. TCID50 titer was calculated using the Reed-Muench method.
