Study summary

This phase I trial studies the process by which sotrovimab is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated by the body (pharmacokinetics) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Sotrovimab is a monoclonal antibody that may target and bind to a specific protein on SARS-CoV-2 and block its viral attachment and entry into human cells. This may slow the progression of the disease and accelerate recovery, and may potentially provide temporary protection against infection with SARS-CoV-2 in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE:

Patients receive sotrovimab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes within 1-7 days prior to the start of pre-transplant conditioning. Patients also undergo blood and nasal swab sample collection throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 24 weeks.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Signs or symptoms of uncontrolled, active infection
  • Positive PCR result for SARS-CoV-2 within four weeks of scheduled conditioning
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding (this population is generally not cleared for transplant)

    • Pregnancy test is obtained as part of pre-transplant evaluation in women of child-bearing potential at arrival to transplant and again within 7 days of conditioning and will be confirmed as negative by review of the chart

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Half-life of Sotrovimab (VIR-7831) Post-transplant

    Will use descriptive statistics of model estimation from population pharmacokinetic model. Levels of VIR-7831 can be measured using an idiotypic antibody assay that is not affected by COVID-19 infection or vaccination.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  2. Neutralizing Antibody Titers

    Will be calculated by a one-phase exponential decay model. Will compare fold-changes in antibody titers by normalizing to pre-transplant levels for each subject. Data analysis was not performed.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Half-life of VIR-7831 in Matched vs Mismatched Donors

    Comparisons will be tested using a t-test. Levels of VIR-7831 can be measured using an idiotypic antibody assay that is not affected by COVID-19 infection or vaccination.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  2. Half-life of VIR-7831 in Autologous vs Allogeneic HCT

    Comparisons will be tested using a t-test. Levels of VIR-7831 can be measured using an idiotypic antibody assay that is not affected by COVID-19 infection or vaccination.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  3. VIR-7831 Exposure in Patients With Diarrhea vs no Diarrhea

    Sotrovimab exposure to be measured as the area under curve (AUC) of sotrovimab concentration over time in model simulation. Comparisons will be tested using a t-test.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  4. VIR-7831 Exposure in Patients With and Without Graft Versus Host Disease

    Will monitor for breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection by polymerase chain reaction of fluid collected by nasal swabs.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  6. Antibody Clearance Rate From Serum/Plasma

    Will compare antibody levels from serum/plasma collected by venipuncture versus self-collected using a TASSO device and fluid from nasal swabs. To do this, will compare rate of antibody clearance on average in study population pharmacokinetic model.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

  7. Number of Participants With Presence of Anti-drug Antibodies From Serum/Plasma

    Will monitor for presence of anti-drug antibodies from serum/plasma collected by venipuncture versus self-collected using a TASSO device. Samples were considered either positive or negative for presence of anti-drug antibodies.

Results

Posted Feb 13, 2025
Limitations and caveats
Limitations due to small sample size: Relatively low precision in estimating covariate effects. Models/data presented focus on GI GVHD as cause of diarrhea; subgroup analysis couldn't be performed to examine whether different pretransplant preparative regimens were associated with increased mAb elimination. Did not perform covariate analysis on varying types of allogeneic HCT. Study halted prematurely due to emergence of variants with reduced in vitro neutralization to sotrovimab.
