SAB Biotherapeutics announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 NIH ACTIV-2 clinical trial evaluating SAB-185, a human IgG1 antibody therapeutic candidate, in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk of severe outcomes. The trial found that 66% of participants receiving SAB-185 achieved full symptom resolution for at least four consecutive days by Day 28, compared to 50% for the REGEN-COV® group (p=0.010). Furthermore, the median time to symptom resolution was significantly shorter for SAB-185, with a reduction of 7 days for 4-day resolution and 6 days for 2-day resolution. However, the primary endpoint regarding hospitalizations and deaths was inconclusive due to the low number of clinical events following the emergence of the Omicron variant. The trial was halted based on recommendations from the Data and Safety Monitoring Board.
