Summary of COVID-19 SA58 studies


1,123 patient SA58 prophylaxis RCT: 81% fewer symptomatic cases (p=0.0004) and 62% fewer cases (p=0.0001).
RCT 1,222 healthy adult workers in China showing SA58 (anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody) nasal spray reduced symptomatic COVID-19 by 81% and SARS-COV-2 infection by 62% compared to placebo when used as post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours of exposure. Efficacy was significantly lower when including participants who tested positive within 24 hours of first administration, suggesting SA58 is less effective once infection is established.

432 patient SA58 prophylaxis study: 34% fewer cases (p<0.0001).
Exploratory single-arm trial of 70 family contacts showing a protective effect of SA58 nasal spray against household SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The incidence of infection was 62.9% in the experimental group versus 94.8% in a contemporaneous control group (n=362), suggesting that SA58 nasal spray reduced transmission risk by 33.8% overall. Using SA58 at least three times daily showed better protection than once a day.
