Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety for up to two doses of NasoShield, to determine if antibodies that protect against anthrax are formed after treatment with NasoShield, and to determine whether the formation of these antibodies are affected by different positions of administration.

Description

After being informed about the study and potential risks, all healthy volunteers that have given written informed consent will undergo screening to determine eligibility for study entry. If the healthy volunteer qualifies for the study, they will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups. Within the treatment group, the participant will be randomized in a double-blind manner in a 5:2 ratio to NasoShield or placebo.

The investigational drug (either NasoShield or placebo) will be administered on Days 1 and 29 after qualifying into the study. The position of administration and the amount of time the subject will need to stay in the specified position will depend on the group to which the subject is assigned.

Participants will return to the investigational site for multiple visits through Day 210 (approximately 6 months after the second dose). At each visit, the participant will be asked about interim medical history and use of any medications, and safety and immunogenicity assessments will be performed.

Eligibility		Yes	No	Not Sure
Inclusion Criteria
	Men and women 18 to 49 years of age, inclusive
	Good general health status
	Adequate venous access for repeated phlebotomies
	Screening laboratory results within institutional normal range or Grade 1 abnormality if the Investigator documents clinical insignificance. Creatine kinase or bilirubin may be Grade 2 if associated with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and the Investigator considers the result not to be clinically significant due to vigorous exercise or Gilbert's syndrome
	Negative drug and alcohol screen at Screening and predose on Day 1
	For women who have not been surgically sterilized or who do not have laboratory confirmation of postmenopausal status, negative pregnancy test
	Willingness to practice a highly effective method of contraception that may include, but is not limited to, abstinence, sex only with persons of the same sex, monogamous relationship with a postmenopausal partner, monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner, vasectomy, surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, salpingectomy, or oophorectomy), licensed hormonal methods, intrauterine device (IUD), or consistent use of a barrier method (eg, condom, diaphragm) with spermicide for 28 days after the last IP dose
	Willingness to participate and comply with all aspects of the study through the entire study period, including nasopharyngeal swabs and blood and urine samples
	Provision of written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
	Pregnant, possibly pregnant, or lactating women
	Body mass index > 35.0 kg/m2
	Positive result for HIV, hepatitis B virus, or hepatitis C virus at Screening
	Asthma or other chronic lung disease that is greater than mild in severity. Specifically excluded are participants with any of the following events in the past
	year
	Daily symptoms
	Daily use of short acting beta 2 agonists
	Use of inhaled steroids or theophylline
	Use of pulse systemic steroids
	Emergency care or hospitalization related to asthma or other chronic lung disease
	Systemic steroids for asthma exacerbation
	History of diabetes mellitus (gestational diabetes is allowed if treatment was not required postpartum and serum glucose is currently in the normal range)
	History of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, or congestive heart failure
	Clinically significant ECG abnormality
	Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 95 mmHg) at Screening or predose on Day 1
	History of anaphylaxis or angioedema
	Known allergy to any of the ingredients in the vaccine formulation
	Known allergy or sensitivity to latex
	History of chronic rhinitis, nasal septal defect, cleft palate, nasal polyps, or other nasal abnormality that might affect vaccine administration
	Previous nasal surgery or nasal cauterization
	Any symptoms of upper respiratory infection or temperature > 38C within 3 days before Day 1
	Any symptoms within 24 hours before Day 1 of upper respiratory illness or allergy flare-up that, in the opinion of the Investigator, presents as nasal congestion or rhinorrhea that could inhibit the proper administration of the IP
	Known or suspected malignancy, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers and other early stage surgically excised malignancies that the Investigator considers to be exceedingly unlikely to recur
	Immunocompromised individuals, including those who have used corticosteroids(including intranasal steroids), alkylating drugs, antimetabolites, radiation, immune-modulating biologics, or other immunomodulating therapies within 90 days before Day 1 or those who plan use during the study period
	History of autoimmune or demyelinating disease
	Use of statin medication within 30 days before Day 1 (see list in Section 6.7.1)
	Receipt of intranasal medications (including over-the-counter medications) within 30 days before Day 1
	Receipt of any IP within 30 days before Day 1
	Receipt of any vaccine within 30 days before Day 1
	Receipt of intranasal vaccine within 90 days before Day 1
	Receipt of any licensed or investigational anthrax vaccine in civilian or military life
	Any change in medication for a chronic medical condition within 30 days before Day 1
	Past regular use or current use of intranasal illicit drugs
	Any medical, psychiatric, or social condition or occupational or other responsibility that in the judgment of the Investigator would interfere with or serve as a contraindication to protocol adherence, assessment of safety (including reactogenicity), or a subject's ability to give informed consent
