What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

Phase 1 is the earliest stage of human testing — safety and dosage are the primary focus. Visits are frequent and medical supervision is intensive. You will be among the first people to receive this treatment.

This trial targets 80 participants in total. It began in 2026-03-24 with a primary completion date of 2027-09.

Brief Summary

This first-in-human study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, anti-drug antibodies, and neutralizing activity of MDX2301 administered by intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), or subcutaneous (SC) routes in healthy adults and adults at higher risk for severe COVID-19. Participants will receive single IV, IM, and SC doses of MDX2301 or placebo and a repeat IM or SC dose approximately 3 months apart of MDX2301 or placebo.
