• The P-I study follows positive pre-clinical results and the Korean MFDS’ IND approval. The study will enroll ~32 healthy volunteers in collaboration with Chungnam National University Hospital to assess the safety of the antiviral Ab treatment candidate in patients who have not been diagnosed with COVID-19
• The trial is expected to be completed in Q3’2020. The company plans to conduct a P-I trial of the therapy in mild COVID-19 patients across the EU- including the UK- followed by global P-II/III trials in patients with mild/moderate COVID-19. Celltrion expects preliminary results from pivotal studies by late 2020
• Additionally- the company will evaluate the treatment for use as a preventative measure and enroll people in close contact with COVID-19 patients globally with its anticipated results in Q1’21.
