Development of neutralizing monoclonal antibody (nAb) is a strategy for treatment of infections caused by SARS-CoV-2. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of HFB30132A, a fully human nAb targeting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain, in healthy subjects. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I trial was performed in healthy Chinese and US subjects, respectively.
