WEDNESDAY, Oct. 14, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Enrollment in a study testing an experimental antibody therapy against COVID-19 has been paused by independent monitors.<\/p>\n
The study, ACTIV-3, was testing the use of a single antibody with the antiviral drug remdesivir. The antibody is being developed by Eli Lilly and the Canadian company AbCellera, the Associated Press<\/i> reported. The study has been paused “out of an abundance of caution,” Lilly said Tuesday, but the company did not explain what prompted the decision.<\/p>\n
The study is sponsored by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which did not immediately comment, the AP<\/i> reported.<\/p>\n
After falling ill with COVID-19, President Donald Trump received an experimental two-antibody cocktail from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. Regeneron and Lilly are both seeking emergency use authorization from the FDA for their COVID-19 treatments while late-stage studies continue, the AP<\/i> reported.<\/p>\n
