Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Immunogenicity of a Biosimilar of Nivolumab (LY01015): A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Controlled Phase I Clinical Trial in Healthy Chinese Male Subjects.

Background: Nivolumab (Opdivo) is the first anti-PD-1 antibody approved in the world. LY01015 is a potential biosimilar of nivolumab.

Objectives: This phase I study aimed to establish the pharmacokinetic equivalence between LY01015 and the original investigational nivolumab (Opdivo) in healthy Chinese male subjects.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, First-in-Human Clinical Trial to Assess Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of LY-CovMab, a Potent Human Neutralizing Antibody Against SARS-CoV-2.

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of a single dose of LY-CovMab in Chinese healthy adults.

Methods: We conducted a phase 1, randomized, dose-escalation, placebo-controlled trial in 42 volunteers, 18-45 years of age, and 40 out of 42 received a single dose of LY-CovMab or placebo with LY-CovMab at a dose of 30 mg, 150 mg, 600 mg, 1200 mg, and 2400 mg. There were ten subjects in each group receiving LY-CovMab or placebo in a 4:1 ratio with the exception that the 30 mg group had two subjects both receiving LY-CovMab.
