Clinical trial of monoclonal antibody for treating respiratory disease in COVID-19 patients begins A clinical trial testing the safety and efficacy of an investigational monoclonal antibody for treating people who are hospitalized with respiratory disease and low blood oxygen due to infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has begun. The Phase 2 trial, called the COVID-19 anti-CD14 Treatment Trial (CaTT), is sponsored and funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. The laboratory-created monoclonal a...

Science for just $15 USD. Prolonged prevention of autoimmune diabetes Teplizumab was previously shown in a clinical trial to delay onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in high-risk relatives of individuals with T1D. Now, Sims et al. extend the follow-up analysis of this trial by 12 months, finding that efficacy of the initial 2-week treatment course persisted, with an extended time to T1D diagnosis in the teplizumab-treated group. Clinical benefits associated with reversed C-peptide decline improved beta cell function and partial exhaustion in CD8 + T cells in the treated patients. HbA1c did not d...
