Abstract Background Safe and effective treatments are needed to prevent severe outcomes in individuals with COVID-19. We report results from STAMP, a phase 2/3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of adintrevimab, an extended half-life monoclonal antibody, for treatment of high-risk ambulatory patients with mild to moderate COVID-19. Methods Non-hospitalized, unvaccinated participants aged ≥12 years with mild to moderate COVID-19 and ≥1 risk factor for disease progression were randomized to receive a single intramuscular injection of 300 mg adintrevimab or placebo. Enrollment was paused due to the global emergence of the Omicron BA.1/BA1.1 variants, against which adintrevimab showed reduced activity in vitro. The primary efficacy endpoint was COVID-19-related hospitalization or all-cause death through day 29 in participants with COVID-19 due to laboratory-confirmed or suspected non-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants. Results Between August 8, 2021, and January 11, 2022, 399 participants were randomized to receive adintrevimab (n=198) or placebo (n=201), including 336 with COVID-19 due to non-Omicron variants. COVID-19-related hospitalization or all-cause death through day 29 occurred in 8/169 (4.7%) participants in the adintrevimab group and 23/167 (13.8%) in the placebo group, a 66% relative risk reduction in favor of adintrevimab (standardized risk difference, -8.7% [95% CI, -14.71 to -2.67; P=.0047]). Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar between treatment groups (33.9% for adintrevimab and 39.5% for placebo). No adintrevimab-related serious TEAEs were reported. Conclusion Treatment with a single intramuscular injection of adintrevimab provided protection against severe outcomes in high-risk ambulatory participants with COVID-19 due to susceptible variants, without safety concerns.
