SA55 Injection: a Potential Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19

A Phase I Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerance and Pharmacokinetics of A Broad-Spectrum Neutralizing Antibodies SA55 Injection of COVID-19 in Healthy Adults

In this first-in-humans dose escalation study, SA55 will be evaluated for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. The study is intended to enable future studies of SA55-injection's efficacy in preventing and treating COVID-19.

This is a Phase I, first time in human, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and dose escalation study.

A Screening Period of up to 14 days (Day -14 through Day 0); A Treatment Period during which participants will be resident at the hospital from Day 0, 1 day before IMP administration (on Day 1) . A Follow up Period lasting 183 days after the IMP dose.

The study will be conducted at a single study centre in Beijing, China.
