Evaluation of MEDI8852, an Anti-Influenza A Monoclonal Antibody, in Treating Acute Uncomplicated Influenza.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated MEDI8852, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds a highly conserved influenza A hemagglutinin stalk epitope, in outpatients with uncomplicated influenza A infection. A total of 126 subjects aged 18 to 65 years were enrolled during the 2015 to 2016 Northern and 2016 Southern Hemisphere seasons. Subjects with symptom onset ≤5 days before dosing were randomized to four cohorts: 750 mg (cohort 1) or 3,000 mg (cohort 2) MEDI8852 (single intravenous infusion) plus 75 mg oseltamivir, placebo plus 75 mg oseltamivir (cohort 3), and 3,000 mg MEDI8852 alone (cohort 4). Subjects were monitored through day 10 for solicited influenza symptoms, day 28 for adverse events (AEs), and day 101 for serious AEs and AEs of special interest. Nasopharyngeal samples were collected through day 7 fo
