As the COVID-19 pandemic is emerging as a global healthcare crisis, scientists worldwide are actively developing prophylactic and therapeutic interventions. Neutralizing antibody therapies are being developed for the treatment of COVID-19. The human monoclonal antibody CB6 showed potent neutralization activity in vitro against SARS-CoV-2. The LALA mutation was introduced to the Fc portion of CB6 (CB6-LALA) to lower the risk of Fc-mediated acute lung injury in animals. CB6-LALA (also called JS016) has been developed for clinical use. Phase I trials among healthy volunteers has demonstrated a tolerable and safe drug profile of JS016. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JS016 in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The data from this study will inform decisions of the clinical use of JS016.
