Conditions

Influenza A H1N1

Brief summary

Healthy adult participants will be challenged with the H1N1 Influenza virus and then treated with either SAB-176 or placebo.

Detailed description

Up to 60 eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SAB-176 (up to 25 mg/kg dose) or placebo. Healthy adult participants will be pre-screened for serosuitability for Influenza A/California/2009 H1N1 challenge virus. Serosuitable participants who sign the study specific informed consent form (ICF) will be challenged with an intranasal administration of Influenza A/California/2009 H1N1 virus on Day 0. Participants will be given intravenous (IV) infusion of SAB-176 or placebo on Day 1. Participants will be held in quarantine until Day 8.

Inclusion criteria

1. An informed consent document signed and dated by the participant and the investigator 2. Aged between 18 and 45 years on the day of signing the study specific ICF. 3. In good health with no history, or current evidence, of clinically significant medical conditions, and no clinically significant test abnormalities that will interfere with participant safety, as defined by medical history, physical examination, (including vital signs), ECG, and routine laboratory tests as determined by the investigator. 4. A documented medical history prior to enrollment. 5. The following criteria are applicable to female participants: * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment. * Females of non-childbearing potential: A.) Post-menopausal females: defined as having a history of amenorrhea for \>12 months with no alternative medical cause, and/or by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level \>40mIU/mL, confirmed by laboratory. b.) Documented status as being surgically sterile (e.g. tubal ligation, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy). 6. The following criteria apply to female and male participants: a.) Female participants of childbearing potential must use one form of highly effective contraception. Hormonal methods must be in place from at least 2 weeks prior to the first study visit. The contraception used must continue until 28 days after the date of dosing with Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP)\> Highly effective contraception is as described below: -Established use of hormonal methods of contraception described below (for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the first study visit). When hormonal methods of contraception are used, male partners are required to use a condom with a spermicide: i.) Combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: Oral, Intravaginal, or Transdermal ii.) progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: Oral, Injectable, or Implantable b.) Intrauterine device c.) Intrauterine hormone-releasing system d.) bilateral tubal ligation e.) Male sterilization (with the appropriate post vasectomy documentation of the absence of sperm in the ejaculate) where the vasectomised male is the sole partner for that woman. f.) True abstinence - sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. B.) Male participants must agree to the contraceptive requirements below at entry to quarantine and continuing until 28 days after the date of dosing with IMP: 1. Use a condom with a spermicide to prevent pregnancy in a female partner or to prevent exposure of any partner (male and female) to the IMP. 2. Male sterilization with the appropriate post vasectomy documentation of the absence of sperm in in the ejaculate (please note that the use of condom with spermicide will still be required to prevent partner exposure). 3. In addition, for female partners of childbearing potential, that partner must use another form of contraception such as one of the highly effective methods mentioned above for female participants. 4. True abstinence - sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. C.) In addition to the contraceptive requirements above, male participants must agree not to donate sperm following discharge from quarantine until 28 days after the date of dosing with IMP. 7. Serosuitable to the Challenge virus, as defined in the study Analytical Plan (AP).

Pre-assignment details

Two participants (1 in each treatment group) were inoculated with challenge virus but were not treated with Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP). In total, 60 participants were treated (30 with SAB-176 and 30 with placebo).

TSS-AUC (Area Under the Curve Over Time of Total Clinical Symptoms Score) Measured by Graded Symptom Scoring System to Evaluate the Effect of SAB-176 in Reducing Symptoms Due to Influenza A/California/2009 H1N1 Virus Compared to Placebo.

Using the hVIVO Symptom Diary Card, participants grade 11 distinct cold symptoms on a scale of 0-3 (Grade 0: No symptoms; Grade 1: just noticeable; Grade 2: clearly bothersome from time to time but does not interfere with me doing my normal daily activities; Grade 3: Quite bothersome most or all the time, and it stops me participating in activities) and Shortness of Breath and Wheeze have a scale of 0-4 with 0-3 being the same and grade 4 being symptoms at rest. Additional to symptom card, a Visual Analogue Scale dairy card using a 0mm to 100mm scale, with the same 13 symptoms with 0mm being no symptoms. Total summed grading scale is 0 to 1341. Lower scores represent a better outcome.
