Summary

This program provides access to SYN023, a combination of two lab-made antibodies (zamerovimab and mazorelvimab) designed to neutralize the rabies virus. It is for people in the United States with confirmed or suspected life-threatening rabies who cannot join other studies or access approved treatments. The antibodies are given alongside standard rabies care, and the goal is to offer a potential treatment when no alternatives exist.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a dual monoclonal antibody cocktail (zamerovimab and mazorelvimab) targeting the rabies virus
What this could lead to
If effective, this could provide a new treatment option for people with life-threatening rabies, a disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear.
What could go wrong
This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so evidence of benefit is limited. Rabies is extremely difficult to treat, and the antibodies may not change the outcome.
