<This was a ph1 in healthy volunteers, so what was there to report?.
How about PD/PK parameters? Safety profile? Tolerance? Distribution? Tissue penetration?...

That, or maybe once SARS-viral load is passing certain threshold, Abs on its own can do so much!

In regards early post reply, I can only said that nCoV is nasty virus (with way unusual mutation that *enhance* its VIRAL property), and that *cocktail* need to be specifically directed as to each Ab-component enhance other one.
For Ebolas they did run primate LIVE study, and there they observed enhanced antiviral activity. Will they have time to do the same for nCoV, or after *pressed* by certain entity...skip certain part in development? In primate study they observed post-exposure therapeutic potential. Believe me, for the sake of the many that will suffer under current outbreak, I wish that they may have even better success.
