About
This Phase 2, open-label, uncontrolled study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single dose of rBV A/B in healthy participants previously immunized with pentavalent botulinum toxoid (or pentavalent botulinum toxoid and rBV A/B) for occupational protection will be conducted to collect source plasma for potential use in the production of BabyBIG and to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine in these participants over a 12-week period, with a follow-up safety assessment at 6 months.

Inclusion criteria
Have received pentavalent botulinum toxoid (or pentavalent botulinum toxoid and rBV A/B) for occupational protection under BB IND 0161 (or BB-IND-0161 and IND 015155)

Are healthy and have an acceptable medical history (defined as individuals who are free from significant cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, hematological, neurological, infective, muscular, infectious, rheumatic, immunological, or psychiatric diseases, as determined at screening) that will not interfere with the objectives of the study
Meet the participant suitability requirements and recommendations for source plasma donors
Participants of childbearing potential:
To be considered of non-childbearing potential, participants must be menopausal (no menstrual period for at least 12 months prior to screening) or be surgically sterile
Are able to understand the requirements of the study, have provided written informed consent as evidenced by signature on an informed consent form (ICF) approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB), and have agreed to abide by the study restrictions and return for the required assessments
Agree to complete the participant home diary on a daily basis for 7 days post vaccination, as well as to report any severe adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs), including serious new onset chronic illnesses (NOCIs) and concomitant medications during the study period
Have provided written authorization for use and disclosure of protected health information
Agree not to donate blood or blood products (outside of study procedures) until after the last plasma donation or until the Week 12 visit (whichever occurs last)
Have personal health insurance
Exclusion criteria
Are pregnant or nursing
Have a history of laboratory evidence of syphilis, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or infection with human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) 1 or 2, human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1, hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
Have had a prior severe (Grade 3 or higher) local or severe (Grade 3 or higher) systemic reaction to last immunization with PBT
Have had a prior severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction or severe systemic reaction on Day 0 to last vaccination with rBV A/B
Have known allergy to aluminum, yeast, or other components of the vaccine
Have donated one or more units of blood or undergone plasmapheresis within 49 days prior to enrollment
Have received a blood product or immunoglobulin within 6 months prior to enrollment or plans to receive such products during the study period (exclusive of returned red blood cells as part of the plasmapheresis procedure). For participants who choose to donate plasma, this will apply until their last plasma donation or at the Week 12 visit (whichever occurs last)
Have received licensed nonliving vaccine within 14 days prior to enrollment, or licensed live vaccine within 60 days prior to enrollment
Have received nonliving vaccine authorized for emergency use only within 14 days prior to enrollment, or living vaccine authorized for emergency use only within 60 days prior to enrollment
Have received investigational products (drugs, biologics, vaccines [except for those authorized for emergency use only per exclusion criterion 9], or implantable devices) within 60 days prior to enrollment or plans to receive experimental products at any time during the study period. For participants who choose to donate plasma, this will apply until their last plasma donation or at the Week 12 visit (whichever occurs last)
Have received prescription immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory agents, including parenteral, inhaled, or oral corticosteroids within 3 months of enrollment or plans on receiving such therapy at any time during the study period. For participants who choose to donate plasma, this will apply until their last plasma donation or at the Week 12 visit (whichever occurs last), with the exceptions mentioned below:
Have received cytotoxic therapy at any time in the previous 5 years before enrollment
Have an active systemic or recurrent disease that would place the participant at unacceptable risk of injury, require hospitalization, or require surgical intervention (This includes active mental illness or history of mental illness not responsive to treatment.)
