- Opko Health unit ModeX Therapeutics dosed first participants in a Phase 1 trial of MDX2301 to prevent COVID-19.
- No results have been presented; trial will evaluate whether MDX2301 can be given safely and tolerated across multiple administration routes.
- MDX2301 is positioned as a first-in-class multispecific antibody intended to offer broader protection against SARS‑CoV‑2 variants than conventional monoclonal antibodies.
- Study targets about 80 healthy volunteers plus adults at higher risk for severe COVID-19, expanding potential commercial reach beyond general prophylaxis.
- Federal funding from HHS ASPR BARDA supports development, reducing Opko’s near-term financing burden for this program.
