AstraZeneca starts Phase I study of long-acting double-antibody cocktail for Covid-19

The drug, AZD7442, is designed to potentially provide at least six months of protection from Covid-19. The trial, which is funded by federal defense and health authorities in the U.S., is enrolling up to 48 healthy volunteers in the U.K. AstraZeneca’s double-antibody approach is similar to that of Regeneron and Roche with their drug, REGN-COV2.
