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

Volunteers
Inclusion criteria
An informed consent document signed and dated by the participant and the investigator
Aged between 18 and 45 years on the day of signing the study specific ICF.
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.
A documented medical history prior to enrollment.
The following criteria are applicable to female participants:
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).
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 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:
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.
Serosuitable to the Challenge virus, as defined in the study Analytical Plan (AP).
Exclusion criteria
(Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply)
History of, or currently active, symptoms or signs suggestive of upper or lower respiratory tract (LRT) infection within 4 weeks prior to the first study visit.
Any history or evidence of any other clinically significant or currently active systemic comorbidities including psychiatric disorders (includes participants with a history of depression and/or anxiety).
And/or other major disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may put the participant at undue risk, or interfere with a participant completing the stud and necessary investigations.
The following conditions apply:
Participants with clinically mild atopic eczema/atopic dermatitis and clinically mild psoriasis may be included at the Investigator's discretion (e.g., if small amounts of regular topical steroids are used, no eczema in cubital fossa; moderate to large amounts of daily dermal corticosteroids is an exclusion).
Rhinitis (including hay fever) which is clinically active or history of moderate to severe rhinitis, or history of seasonal allergic rhinitis likely to be active at the time of inclusion into the study and/or requiring regular nasal corticosteroids on an at least weekly basis, within 30 days of admission to quarantine will be excluded. Participants with a history of currently inactive rhinitis (within the last 30 days) or mild rhinitis may be included at the PI's discretion.
Participants with a physician diagnosed underactive thyroid who have been controlled on treatment for at least 6 months with evidence of a normal thyroid function test can be included at the discretion of the PI.
Any concurrent serious illness including history of malignancy that may interfere with the aims of the study or a participant completing the study. Basal cell carcinoma within 5 years of initial diagnosis or with evidence of recurrence is also an exclusion.
Participants with a history of psychiatric illness including depression and/or anxiety of any severity within the last 2 years can be included if the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and / or the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) is less than or equal to 4. Participants with a PHQ-9 or GAD-7 score of between 5 and 9 may be included following consultation with a Senior Physician (Clinical Lead for Screening) who may advise further consultation with the PI.
Participants reporting physician diagnosed migraine can be included provided there are no associated neurological symptoms such as hemiplegia or visual loss. Cluster headache/migraine or prophylactic treatment for migraine is an exclusion.
Participants with physician diagnosed mild irritable bowel syndrome not requiring regular treatment can be included at the discretion of the PI.
Participants who have smoked ≥10 pack years at any time (10 pack years is equivalent to one pack of 20 cigarettes a day for 10 years).
