Brief summary
Hendra Virus Monoclonal Antibody (mAb m102.4) is an experimental drug product which is administered through a drip (infusion) into a vein in the forearm. It is a human monoclonal antibody which has been man-made and is being developed as a potential treatment for Hendra virus infection. This product is not a vaccine against Hendra virus infection. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of monoclonal antibodies designed to act against Hendra virus. Our aim is to find out more about mAb m102.4 when it is administered to healthy individuals. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of mAb m102.4. That is to find out how it makes people feel and whether there are any side effects or changes to laboratory results. We will also determine the amount of mAb m102.4 in your blood at various times during the study, its effect on your immune system as well as the extent of its anti-virus activity.
Interventions
Human monoclonal antibody (IgG1), m102.4 Subjects will be dosed with four IV concentrations of monoclonal antibody m102.4 across five cohorts (8 participants in each cohort). The first four cohorts (Cohorts 1 to 4) will receive a single, IV infusion of mAb m102.4 at a concentration of 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg over a period of 1 hour. The fifth cohort (Cohort 5) will receive two IV infusions of mAb m102.4 at a concentration of 20 mg/kg given over the period of 1 hour, with 72 hours between each infusion
