Study Description

Brief Summary:

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.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
COVID-19	Drug: SA55 Injection; Other: Placebo for SA55 injection	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

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.

Study Design

• Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
• Estimated Enrollment: 40 participants
• Allocation: Randomized
• Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
• Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
• Masking Description: The study will be blinded for all placebo controlled dose groups, ie, the principal investigator (PI), all clinical staff involved in the clinical study, the participants, and the study monitor will remain blinded, unless safety concerns or a regulatory requirement necessitate unblinding.
• Primary Purpose: Treatment
• Official Title: 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
• Actual Study Start Date: June 15, 2023
• Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 30, 2023
• Estimated Study Completion Date: December 30, 2023

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: SA55 injection; Cohort 1: 150mg; Cohort 2: 300mg; Cohort3: 600 mg; Cohort4: 900 mg	Drug: SA55 Injection; Novel coronavirus broad-spectrum neutralizing antibody SA55 injection
Placebo Comparator: Placebo for SA55 injection; Cohort 1: 0mg; Cohort 2: 0mg; Cohort3: 0mg; Cohort4: 0mg	Other: Placebo for SA55 injection; Placebo for Novel coronavirus broad-spectrum neutralizing antibody SA55 injection

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Incidence of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs in healthy individuals [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   The incidence of adverse events (including clinical symptoms and vital signs abnormalities, laboratory examination abnormalities, 12 lead electrocardiogram abnormalities, etc.) and serious adverse events;

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Tmax will be assessed after administration of SA55 (IM injection) using noncompartmental methods.
2. Observed maximum concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Cmax will be assessed after administration of SA55 (IM injection) using noncompartmental methods.
3. Elimination half life (t½) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   t½ will be assessed after administration of SA55 (IM injection) using noncompartmental methods.
4. Systemic clearance (CL) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   CL will be assessed after administration of SA55 (IM injection) using noncompartmental methods.
5. Volume of distribution (Vd) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Vd will be assessed after administration of SA55 (IM injection) using noncompartmental methods.
6. AUCinf [ Time Frame: 6 moths ]
   AUCinf will be assessed after administration of SA55 (IM injection) using noncompartmental methods.
7. Anti drug antibody levels (ADA) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   To evaluate the serum neutralizing activity of SA55 injection at different time points after administration in healthy individuals. It means anti drug antibody levels (ADA) in serum at different time points
