New COVID-19 antibody enters first human safety trial

NCT ID NCT06965751

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether a new drug called PDI204, an antibody that targets the COVID-19 virus, is safe and tolerable in healthy adults. 32 participants will receive a single dose of PDI204 or a placebo and be monitored for side effects and how the drug behaves in the body. The study is a first step to see if PDI204 could eventually be used to treat or prevent COVID-19.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
PDI204 (a monoclonal antibody targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment or preventive option for COVID-19.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 32 healthy people, so it is too soon to know if PDI204 works or is safe for patients. Side effects are possible.
