Background500 mg intravenous (IV) sotrovimab has been shown to be well tolerated and efficacious against pre-Omicron strains in treating patients with mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at high risk for disease progression.MethodsThis was an open-label, single-arm substudy of phase 3 COMET-TAIL (NCT04913675) assessing the safety and tolerability of a 2000 mg IV dose of sotrovimab. Symptomatic patients (aged ≥18 years) with COVID-19 at high risk for progression were enrolled from June 30 through July 11, 2022, when Omicron BA.5, BA.2.12.1, and BA.4 were the predominant circulating variants in the United States. The primary endpoint was occurrence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), AEs of special interest, and COVID-19 disease-related events (DREs) through Day 8. Safety, pharmacokinetics, viral load, and hospitalization >24 hours for acute management of illness or death through Day 29 were assessed.ResultsAll participants (n=81) were Hispanic, 58% were female, and 51% were aged ≥55 years. Through Day 8, no AEs, including infusion-related reactions or hypersensitivity, were reported; 2 participants reported DREs (mild cough, n=2). One SAE (acute myocardial infarction), which was considered unrelated to sotrovimab or COVID-19 by the investigator, occurred on Day 27 and was the only hospitalization reported. Maximum serum concentration (geometric mean) was 745.9 µg/mL. Viral load decreased from baseline through Day 29; only 2 participants (3%) had persistently high viral load (≥4.1 log10copies/mL) at Day 8.Conclusions2000 mg IV sotrovimab was well tolerated, with no new unanticipated safety signals observed.Key points summaryIn participants with mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 at risk for progression to severe disease, a 2000 mg intravenous dose of sotrovimab had a low frequency of adverse events, with no hypersensitivity, infusion-related reactions, or deaths observed. |
