AstraZeneca says antibody treatment failed in preventing COVID-19 in exposed patients

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.AstraZeneca said on Tuesday a late-stage trial failed to provide evidence that its COVID-19 antibody therapy protected people who had contact with an infected person from the disease, a small setback in its efforts to find alternatives to vaccines.

Results for a subset of participants who were not infected to begin with was more encouraging but the primary analysis rested on results from all participants. The next one will likely be from a larger trial testing the product in people with a weakened immune system due to cancer or an organ transplant, who may not benefit from a vaccine.AZD7442 belongs to a class of drugs called monoclonal antibodies which mimic natural antibodies produced by the body to fight off infections.

This headline is irresponsible. People will think you are writing about the vaccine. Clicks.

Starting from Tam’s disinformation on day1 to AZ advocacy, everything shows that someone is trying to harm Canada. We are all Canadians, really?

I don't even understand the meaning of these results? Everyone who got AZ are not protected? Are we starting again with the issue of which vaccine to get? Damn, I'm so bloody confused. I had AZ... now what?
