flag ArkBio launches Phase II trial in China for AK0610, a long-acting monoclonal antibody to prevent RSV in infants.

flag ArkBio has started a Phase II clinical trial in China testing AK0610, a preventive monoclonal antibody for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants. flag The trial, involving five sites, is evaluating the drug’s safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy babies. flag AK0610 targets the RSV pre-fusion F protein and was derived from an infant’s immune response, engineered for longer protection and activity against RSV B strains. flag Previous data in adults showed strong antiviral effects and a favorable safety profile, suggesting a single dose could protect infants through the RSV season. flag The study is led by Chinese pediatric hospitals and aims to develop a long-acting, domestically produced preventive therapy for infants.
