Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new method of delivering two antibodies is safe. The hypothesis is that the new delivery method will be safe and associated with the expression of the antibodies in serum.

Who is the study for?
Healthy adults aged 18-60 with a BMI of 20-30, normal ECG and lab results, willing to use contraception if fertile. Excludes those with SARS-CoV-2 infection, recent antibody treatments or vaccines, pregnancy, certain infections like hepatitis B/C, immunosuppressive conditions or medications, major surgery within the last 6 months, metal implants at EP site.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two dMAbs (AZD5396 and AZD8076) for COVID-19 prevention in healthy adults. Participants will receive intramuscular injections followed by electroporation using CELLECTRA devices on Days 0 and 3. The study aims to assess safety and how the body processes these antibodies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site such as pain or swelling, general discomfort like fatigue or headaches due to immune response from dMAb administration. Electroporation might cause temporary skin irritation or muscle twitching.
