Evaluate the Safety Pharmacokinetics of a Human Monoclonal Antibody S315 Against Diphtheria Toxin in Healthy Subjects

This study will examine the use of a single infusion of S315 at different doses in healthy volunteers to help understand its safety and tolerability. S315 is a monoclonal antibody that is being developed for treatment of diphtheria. The study will assess for any side effects when S315 and will also look at the levels of S315 in the blood over time.

  12. Pregnant within 6 months or breast-feeding within 3 months prior to screening.

  13. Receipt of licensed vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid (Td, Tdap, pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, meningococcal conjugate vaccines) within the last year.

  14. Treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention within 30 days from screening.

  15. Any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of the subject participating in the study.

  16. Safety laboratory abnormalities at Screening or Day -1, which are clinically significant as determined by the Investigator.
