ImmunityBio Inc. Launches Phase 2 Clinical Study of ANKTIVA® to Address Long COVID Symptoms
ImmunityBio, Inc. has announced the initiation of a new Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the BioShield™ platform, featuring ANKTIVA® (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln), in patients suffering from long COVID. This exploratory, single-arm study aims to assess the safety of ANKTIVA when administered subcutaneously and its impact on absolute lymphocyte count. Additionally, the study will explore ANKTIVA's potential to enhance post-COVID NK and CD8+ T cell counts and their immunological functions. With no established treatments currently available for long COVID, this study could offer new insights into potential therapeutic approaches. Results from this study have not yet been presented, as participant recruitment is still underway. The study is supported by ImmunityBio and is complemented by a separate Phase 2 study at the University of California - San Francisco.
