Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, and Safety of a SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Treatment in Pediatric Participants: An Open-Label Addendum of a Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Phase 2/3 Trial.

Introduction: Bamlanivimab and etesevimab (BAM + ETE) are monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) effective in reducing COVID-19-related hospitalizations and all-cause mortality in adult participants at increased risk for severe disease. We present pharmacokinetic (PK), efficacy, and safety results from pediatric participants (< 18 years of age) with COVID-19 who were treated with BAM + ETE.

Methods: In an addendum to the phase 2/3 BLAZE-1 clinical trial (NCT04427501), pediatric participants received open-label weight-based dosing (WBD, n = 94) based on exposure-matching to the authorized dose of BAM + ETE in adult participants.
