The treatment came in the form of an infusion of Regeneron's REGN-COV2, a highly experimental and unproven drug prescribed alongside two other treatments.
They can also be manufactured in a lab, like the drug Mr Trump took.
"As the virus is replicating in your body, having this drug on board would lower your viral load, meaning your immune system is faced with less virus to fight," Dr Lewis said.The drug designed by Regeneron uses two lab-manufactured antibodies designed to bolster the immune system's ability to recognise and neutralise the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
"It's very difficult to say looking at just one case, and we're only being given some of the information," she said.
