Plain English summary of protocol

In this study, participants who were previously enrolled in Study CD388.SQ.2.05 and received a single dose of CD388, will receive two annual doses of CD388 450mg. for 2 years. The study will enrol generally healthy participants without disease. The minimum age for participation for males or females is 18 years old and maximum age is 66 years old. The study will be carried out in the US and UK. The total target participants across both countries is 400. The maximum duration for each participant will be 18 months (± 2 months). Participants will be required to attend 1 screening visit and then will attend day 1 which is the treatment visit, at the study site. Participants will be observed for at least 30 minutes before discharge. The first follow-up period includes study site visits on day 8, 29, 85, 169, 197 and 280. The second follow-up period includes study site visits on day 8, 29, 85, 169 and 197.

Injection site pain, injection site swelling, injection site redness, muscle pain, joint pain, headache, fatigue (tiredness), chills, fever, diarrhoea.
Participants may experience an allergic reaction to the study drug even though this has not been seen in the previous study.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include the following; headache, rash, flushing, swelling, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting. Participants will be closely monitored for any side effects.
Blood drawing may cause pain/tenderness, bruising, bleeding, light-headedness, dizziness, fainting and, rarely, infection or nerve damage. Procedures will be in place to avoid injury. Blood tests may indicate that a participant has an infection or illness. The hVIVO doctor will provide a referral letter to the participants’ GP with consent.

Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designInterventional non randomized
Secondary study designNon randomised study
Scientific titleA phase 2, open-label, long-term study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and occurrence of anti-drug antibodies in healthy participants following annual doses of CD388, a novel long-acting antiviral conjugate
Study objectives1. To evaluate the occurrence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) directed to CD388 during an 18-month period including administration of 2 annual doses of CD388
2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CD388
3. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of CD388 in plasma following second and third doses of CD388 in participants who have previously received single CD388 doses of 150 mg, 300 mg, or 450 mg
4. To evaluate the PK/anti-CD388 antibody relationships for participants who have previously received single CD388 doses of 150 mg, 300 mg, or 450 mg
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 13/11/2025, South Central- Hampshire B Research Ethics Committee (2 Redman Place, Stratford, London, E20 1JQ, United Kingdom; +44 207 104 8088; hampshireb.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 25/SC/0349

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedInfluenza infection
InterventionParticipants identification codes will be assigned at screening. All participants will receive open-label CD388 450mg. Participants will receive investigational study intervention as 3 separate injections directly from the Investigator or designee. The dose of investigational study intervention and participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing by a member of the study site staff.
Intervention typeDrug
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)CD388
Primary outcome measure(s)

Blood sample assessment will be taken via venepuncture at predose and 4,12,24 and 28 weeks following each annual dose to evaluate the treatment – emergent ADA and treatment-boosted ADA

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Safety and tolerability, as assessed by adverse events (AEs), injection site reactions (ISRs), vital signs, and clinical laboratory parameters.
2. Plasma PK parameters of CD388 (eg, plasma concentrations at pre-dose, 8 days, and 4, 12, 24, and 28 weeks following each annual dose; trough plasma concentration at 24 weeks [Ctrough24w], maximum plasma concentration [Cmax], and area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC])
3. Plasma concentration-time data or PK parameter of CD388 and titer of anti-CD388 antibody, when present

Completion date06/08/2027
