Today NIH announced the launch of #ACTIV-2 (outpatient) Phase 2/3 and ACTIV-3 (inpatient) Phase 3 clinical trials investigating the use of monoclonal antibodies as a potential treatment for #COVID19. Antibodies are molecules our immune systems use to fight germs. People recovered from #COVID19 can produce antibodies.
