A Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of a Human Monoclonal Antibody (VH4527079) in Healthy Adults and Persons With HIV

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose administration of VH4527079 by subcutaneous (SC) injection or by intravenous (IV) infusion in healthy adult participants and multiple dose administration by IV infusion in healthy adult participants and in Persons with HIV (PWH).

* Any history of a severe allergic reaction with generalized urticaria, angioedema or anaphylaxis within the 2 years prior to enrollment that has a reasonable risk of recurrence during the study.
* The participant has an underlying skin disease or disorder, piercing, or tattoos that would interfere with assessment of injection site reactions.
* History of sensitivity to any of the study medications or their components or drugs of their class, or a history of drug or other allergy.
* Clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies, intolerance to topical corticosteroids, or severe post-treatment hypersensitivity reactions.
* Any condition which, may interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the study drugs or render the participant unable to take oral medication.
* Unstable liver disease, known biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones or otherwise stable chronic liver disease).
* Known history of cirrhosis with or without viral hepatitis co-infection.
* History of clinically relevant hepatitis within last 6 months.
* For Cohort 9 (PWH in Arm B), untreated syphilis infection (i.e., positive syphilis testing at screening) without documentation of treatment. Participants who have successfully completed treatment at least 7 days previously are eligible if recruitment is open. Positive syphilis testing at screening for any other Cohort is exclusionary.

* Any pre-existing physical or mental condition which, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with the dosing schedule and/or protocol evaluations or which may compromise the safety of the participant.
* Clinically significant cardiovascular disease, as defined by history/evidence of congestive heart failure, symptomatic arrhythmia, angina/ischemia, coronary artery bypass grafting surgery or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty or any clinically significant cardiac disease.
* Medical history of cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac disease or a family or personal history of long QT syndrome or sudden cardiac death. Any significant arrhythmia or ECG finding which, will interfere with the safety for the individual participant.
* Exposure to an experimental drug, human blood product, anticoagulants, or experimental vaccine (which does not have emergency, conditional, or standard market authorization) within 30 days, or within 5 half-lives of the test agent, or twice the duration of the biological effect of the test agent, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study intervention or plans to receive live vaccines during the study.
* Any previous use of HIV Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in Arm A (Cohorts 1 through 7) or Arm B (Cohort 8 only), either oral or parenteral, is exclusionary.
* Any previous use of Neonatal Fc receptor blockers (e.g., efgartigimod alfa-fcab).
* The participant has ever received an investigational HIV vaccine.
* Any approved or experimental non-HIV vaccination (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, HBV, influenza, pneumococcal polysaccharide) received within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment (Day 0).
* Exposure to an experimental drug, human blood product, or vaccine (which does not have emergency, conditional, or standard market authorization) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment or plans to receive live vaccines during the study.
* Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within 56 days.
* Exposure to more than 4 new chemical entities or vaccines within 12 months prior to the first dosing day.
* Past or intended use of over-the-counter or prescription medication including herbal medications within 7 days (or 14 days if the drug is a potential enzyme inducer) or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to dosing.

* Participants receiving any protocol-prohibited medication(s) and who are unwilling or unable to switch to an alternate medication.
