History of allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments or any excipients of VIR-3434 8. History of anaphylaxis 9. History of malignancy diagnosed or treated within 5 years (localized treatment of squamous or non-invasive basal cell skin cancers is permitted; cervical carcinoma in situ is allowed if appropriately treated prior to screening); subjects under evaluation for malignancy are not eligible. 10. History of bone marrow or solid organ transplant 11. Known active infection other than chronic HBV infection or any clinically significant acute condition such as fever (> 38? C) or acute respiratory illness within 7 days prior to Day 1 12. Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis D virus (subjects with HDV) Subjects who are HCV antibody or HDV antibody positive but have a documented negative HCV , RNA or HDV RNA, respectively, are eligble. 13.

History or clinical evidence of alcohol or drug abuse within the 12 months before screening or a positive drug screen at screening unless it can be explained by a prescribed medication (the diagnosis and prescription must be approved by the investigator). 17. Use of any of the following systemic medications within 14 days before study drug administration and throughout the study: a. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) = 3 g/day b. Isoniazid c.
