US President Trump touts antibody therapies as a miracle drug after his rapid recovery from Covid-19. But the experimental treatment method is not yet suitable for the masses. The US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly now has to pause the testing phase of its agent. The US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly has temporarily put clinical trials with an experimental antibody cocktail against the coronavirus on hold. The DSMB expert group, which advises government agencies, has recommended this, a company spokeswoman said. It is about “ensuring the safety of the patients who take part in the study”. The third phase of clinical trials with the product called Activ-3 began in August in more than 50 locations in the United States, Denmark and Singapore. After the announcement of the stop, Lilly shares fell by almost three percent.

Intensive care physician on Trump antibody cocktail is “human experiment”

During the clinical tests, Covid-19 patients are injected with a cocktail of synthetic antibodies. This experimental treatment method became known worldwide through the corona infection of US President Donald Trump: Trump had been treated with an antibody cocktail from the US pharmaceutical company Regeneron – and then declared that he had been “cured” by the drug.

Both Eli Lilly and Regeneron applied for special approval from the US FDA last week to use their antibody drugs.

Pharmaceutical companies around the world are working flat out on the development of drugs and vaccines to fight the coronavirus. There are always setbacks. It was only on Monday that the US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson announced that it had temporarily suspended its tests of a potential vaccine after a subject became ill. According to the information, a committee of independent experts will investigate the causes of the disease during the test break.
