A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, First-in-Human Clinical Trial to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LY-CovMab, a Potent Human Neutralizing Antibody Against SARS-CoV-2.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of a single dose of LY-CovMab in Chinese healthy adults.

Methods

We conducted a phase 1, randomized, dose-escalation, placebo-controlled trial in 42 volunteers, 18-45 years of age, and 40 out of 42 received a single dose of LY-CovMab or placebo with LY-CovMab at a dose of 30 mg, 150 mg, 600 mg, 1200 mg, and 2400 mg. There were ten subjects in each group receiving LY-CovMab or placebo in a 4:1 ratio with the exception that the 30 mg group had two subjects both receiving LY-CovMab.

Results

Among the 42 randomized participants, 40 received an injection with 32 administered LY-CovMab and 8 administered placebo. A total of 18 drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE
