Regeneron begins coronavirus antibody cocktail late-stage trial.
Regeneron in June began human trial of the antibody cocktail as a treatment for Covid-19, with an "adaptive" design to quickly move to include thousands of patients.
The late-stage trial will be conducted across 100 sites and expected to enroll 2,000 patients in the U.S. It follows a safety assessment of the cocktail in an early-stage trial by an independent committee. Antibodies are proteins made by the body's immune system that recognize, bind and neutralize an invading virus. Regeneron's cocktail, a combination of an antibody made by the company and a second antibody isolated from recovered Covid-19 patients, is designed to bind the antibodies to the coronavirus' spike protein.to treat COVID-19, which on Thursday failed to meet the main goal of a U.S. study testing it in the most critically ill Covid-19 patients.
