Official Title
A Phase 1B, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study of SAB-185 in Ambulatory Subjects With COVID-19
Brief Summary

: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SAB Biotherapeutics has developed SAB-185, an Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Human Immunoglobulin Intravenous (transchromosomic [Tc] bovine-derived), as a potential therapeutic to treat COVID-19. This study will evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of SAB-185 in ambulatory participants with COVID-19.

Biological: SAB-185

SAB-185 is a purified human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) designed to specifically bind to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viruses. SAB-185 is purified from the plasma of immunized Tc bovines that were immunized initially (vaccinations 1 and 2) with a plasmid DNA (pDNA) vaccine that expresses wild-type SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, followed by additional immunizations (vaccinations 3 and beyond) with a recombinant spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 produced in insect cells. The purified hIgG is a sterile liquid formulated in 10 mM glutamic acid monosodium salt, 262 mM D-sorbitol, 0.05 mg/mL Tween 80, pH 5.5. The drug product will be administered intravenously and will be diluted in saline per the clinical protocol.
Other Name: Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Human Immunoglobulin Intravenous (Tc bovine-derived)

Other: Normal Saline

Normal (0.9%) saline in approximately the same volume as each cohort in the experimental drug arm.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects must meet all of the following criteria for inclusion:

1. 18-60 years of age

2. Positive for presence of SARS-CoV-2 on NP or OP swab by FDA-authorized RT-PCR test
within seven days prior to infusion

3. At least one current symptom of COVID-19, onset within seven days prior to infusion:

- Fever or chills

- Cough

- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

- Fatigue

- Muscle or body aches

- Headache

- New loss of taste or smell

- Sore throat

- Congestion or runny nose

- Nausea or vomiting

- Diarrhea

4. Able to understand the study and comply with all study procedures

5. Agrees not to participate in any other trial of an investigational product during the
study period

6. Willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to the start of any study
related activities

7. If female, meets at least one of the following reproductive risk criteria

- Post-menopausal for at least 12 months

- Use of one or more of the following highly effective contraceptive methods for at
least 90 days following the last dose of study product: combined estrogen and
progestogen containing or progestogen-only hormonal contraception, intrauterine
device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system, surgical bilateral tubal
occlusion

- Vasectomized sole sexual partner who has received medical assessment of the
surgical success

8. Male and female subjects agree to sexual abstinence (refraining from heterosexual
intercourse for at least 90 days following the last dose of study product) if not
using birth control or condoms for males.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects who meet any of the criteria of severe or higher COVID-19 will be excluded from
the study:

- Dyspnea at rest

- Respiratory rate > 30 breaths per minute

- SpO2 ≤ 93% on room air

- Heart rate ≥ 125 beats per minute

- Respiratory distress or respiratory failure.

- Evidence of critical illness

1. Female subjects with positive pregnancy test, breastfeeding, or planning to
become pregnant/breastfeed during the study period.

2. Hospitalization or need for hospitalization for any cause

3. Treatment or participation in another clinical trial of any other investigational
agent within 30 days prior to enrollment.

4. Use of other drugs that, in the opinion of the investigator, could complicate
analysis of SAB-185.

5. Subjects with the following risk factors:

- Compromised immune system including confirmed diagnosis of current cancer under
treatment, inherited deficiencies of the immune system, immune suppressing medication,
or other conditions causing leukopenia or neutropenia

- Known autoimmune condition requiring therapy more intensive than intermittent
non-steroidal anti-inflammatories in the prior 6 months (for example: rheumatoid
arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease)

- Chronic respiratory disease including COPD, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary
hypertension, or other chronic condition that requires the routine use of supplemental
oxygen

- Chronic asthma requiring the use of oral steroids or hospitalization in the last six
months

- Renal failure or renal insufficiency requiring dialysis

- Congestive heart failure or significant atherosclerotic disease (coronary artery
disease or peripheral vascular disease) 6. Receipt of pooled immunoglobulin or plasma
in past 30 days 7. Any other underlying medical (cardiac, liver, renal, neurological,
respiratory) or psychiatric condition that in the view of the investigator would
preclude use of SAB-185 8. Known IgA deficiency or previous allergic reaction to
intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG)/subcutaneous immunoglobin (SCIG) 9. Positive for
hepatitis B virus surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, or HIV antibody by
medical history 10. History of allergy, anaphylaxis, or severe reaction to beef
products (including milk and gelatin).
