Brief 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.

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.

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

Population: Neutralization assays were not performed, thus no data was collected.

Secondary

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

Population: Only those participants with data available at the specified time points were analyzed. Due to early termination, we did not analyze TASSO samples or nasal swabs, hence there is no TASSO or nasal swab data to report.~Two different groups were analyzed based on transplant type. The number of patients in each subgroup will add up to the total number of patients analyzed.

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Population: There was only 1 participant in the mismatched group, therefore, sample size was too small to calculate and compare mean or median half-lives between groups. Thus, half-life data was not collected on these groups.

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.

Time frame: At 4 and 24 weeks

Population: Only blood collected by venipuncture was assessed. Blood was rarely collected using the TASSO device due to participants declining TASSO use, sotrovimab deauthorization, and early study termination. Limited blood collection with TASSO device, premature study closure, and lack of funds prevented planned laboratory assays on blood collected with the TASSO device. Thus, no laboratory data is available from TASSO-collected blood and no analysis was performed. Further data collection is not planned.
