The study characterized a human antibody, 586G, with potent neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants. Nasal delivery of 586G showed prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in hamsters, preventing viral replication in the lungs at a low dose (2 mg/kg daily). This antibody is a promising candidate for treating COVID-19, potentially overcoming limitations of currently approved antibodies.
