Brief summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of multiple doses of Staphylococcal protein A (PRTX-100). Patients may be enrolled into 1 of 3 dose groups. A Safety Committee will review safety data through Day 28 for the first 5 patients in a dose group. Only upon the Safety Committee's approval will the next higher dose group be enrolled and dosed.

Interventions

Sequential cohorts of patients will receive 4 weekly intravenous doses of PRTX-100: Cohort 1 (0.075 mcg/kg), Cohort 2 (0.15 mcg/kg), Cohort 3 (0.30 mcg/kg). After a Safety Monitoring Committee reviews safety data through Day 28 for the first 5 patients in a dose group and approves dose escalation, the next dose group will be enrolled and dosed at the next higher dose level.
