Phase 2 Randomized Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of MHAA4549A, a Broadly Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody, in a Human Influenza A Virus Challenge Model.

MHAA4549A, a human monoclonal antibody targeting the hemagglutinin stalk region of influenza A virus (IAV), is being developed as a therapeutic for patients hospitalized with severe IAV infection. The safety and efficacy of MHAA4549A were assessed in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study in a human IAV challenge model. One hundred healthy volunteers were inoculated with A/Wisconsin/67/2005 (H3N2) IAV and, 24 to 36 h later, administered a single intravenous dose of either placebo, MHAA4549A (400, 1,200, or 3,600 mg), or a standard oral dose of oseltamivir.

Pharmacokinetics of MHAA4549A, an Anti-Influenza A Monoclonal Antibody, in Healthy Subjects Challenged with Influenza A Virus in a Phase IIa Randomized Trial.

Background And Objectives: MHAA4549A, a human anti-influenza immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody, is being developed to treat patients hospitalized for influenza A infection. This study examined the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of MHAA4549A in a phase IIa, randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging trial in healthy volunteers challenged with influenza A virus.

Methods: Serum PK data were collected from 60 subjects in three single-dose groups (400, 1200, or 3600 mg) who received MHAA4549A intravenously 24-36 h after inoculation with the influenza A virus.

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Ascending-Dose Study To Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of an Anti-Influenza B Virus Monoclonal Antibody, MHAB5553A, in Healthy Volunteers.

Influenza B can cause significant morbidity and mortality. MHAB5553A, a human monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody that binds to a highly conserved region of the hemagglutinin protein of influenza B virus, is being examined as a novel therapeutic for the treatment of influenza B patients with severe disease. This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose study was conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MHAB5553A.

Phase 2 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of RG7667, a Combination Monoclonal Antibody, for Prevention of Cytomegalovirus Infection in High-Risk Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a significant complication after kidney transplantation. We examined the ability of RG7667, a combination of two monoclonal antibodies, to prevent CMV infection in high-risk kidney transplant recipients in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. CMV-seronegative recipients of a kidney transplant from a CMV-seropositive donor (D+R-) were randomized to receive RG7667 (n = 60) or placebo (n = 60) at the time of transplant and 1, 4, and 8 weeks posttransplant.

Two Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Ascending-Dose Studies To Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of an Anti-Influenza A Virus Monoclonal Antibody, MHAA4549A, in Healthy Volunteers.

Hospitalized patients with severe influenza are at significant risk for morbidity and mortality. MHAA4549A is a human monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 antibody that binds to a highly conserved stalk region of the influenza A virus hemagglutinin protein and neutralizes all tested seasonal human influenza A virus strains. Two phase 1 trials examined the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MHAA4549A in healthy volunteers.

Phase 1 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of RG7667, an Anticytomegalovirus Combination Monoclonal Antibody Therapy, in Healthy Adults.

Cytomegalovirus can cause debilitating and life-threatening disease in newborns infected in utero and immunocompromised individuals, including transplant recipients. RG7667 is a unique combination of two monoclonal antibodies that binds glycoprotein complexes on the surface of cytomegalovirus and inhibits its entry into host cells. A phase 1 first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study of RG7667 given intravenously was conducted in 181 healthy adults.

The effects of supratherapeutic doses of duloxetine on blood pressure and pulse rate.

The effects of supratherapeutic dosages of duloxetine, a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, on blood pressure and pulse rate were assessed in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study in 117 healthy women aged 19 to 74 years. Dosages were escalated from 60 mg twice daily (BID) to 200 mg BID over 16 days. Vital signs were monitored at baseline, before morning dosing, and sequentially at steady state.
