|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adult aged ≥18 years or adolescent aged 12 to <18 years and weighing at least 40 kg at the time of Screening. Note: Adolescent enrollment will open only upon sponsor communication to sites after review of Phase 2 data. 2. Tests negative for current or previous SARS-CoV-2 infection by RTPCR and serology at the time of screening. Note: Cohort A participants may be randomized without RT-PCR and serology results if these results are not available by Day 5 of Screening. 3. Is at high risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection as assessed by the Investigator: a) Cohort A (PEP): recent exposure to an individual with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection (index case).* Note: Randomization must occur within 5 days (120 hours) from both exposure to and sample collection from the index case. Participants with recent exposure to a laboratory-confirmed index case must be asymptomatic at randomization. * Exposure is generally defined as repeated contact lasting 15 minutes or more within a 24-hour period, where the individuals were within 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) of each other, and neither party was wearing a facemask or respirator. b) Cohort B (PrEP): Occupational, housing, recreational and/or social conditions that are likely to increase risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 4. Agrees to defer receipt of COVID-19 vaccination for minimum of 180 days (6 months) after dosing. 5. Is able and willing to provide informed consent. A legally authorized representative may be used in cases where inclusion criterion 9 is able to be fulfilled. In the case of adolescents, informed consent/assent must also be obtained as required by local guidelines. 6. Participants assigned female sex at birth who are not of reproductive potential are eligible without requiring the use of contraception and do not require a pregnancy test. This includes female participants who have not undergone menarche or who are documented to be surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy, removal of both ovaries, or tubal ligation) or postmenopausal (i.e., amenorrhea >1 year and follicle-stimulating hormone >40 mIU/mL). Follicle-stimulating hormone is not required in postmenopausal females with amenorrhea for >2 years. 7. Participants assigned female sex at birth and who are of childbearing potential may be enrolled in the study if the participant has practiced adequate contraception or has abstained from all sexual activities that could result in pregnancy for at least 28 days before the day of dosing (Day 1) and has agreed to continue adequate contraception for sexual activity that could lead to pregnancy through 6 months following dosing. Adequate contraception for participants assigned female sex at birth is defined as consistent and correct use of a contraceptive approved by the local Health Authority and used in accordance with the product label. For example: a) Barrier method (such as condoms, diaphragm, or cervical cap) used in conjunction with spermicide. b) Intrauterine device. c) Hormonal contraceptive taken or administered via oral (pill), transdermal (patch), intravaginal, implantable, or injectable method. d) Sterilization of a female participant's male partner before entry into the study. e) Sexual abstinence.* Note: periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. *Sexual abstinence is considered an effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse from providing consent until 6 months after dosing. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. 8. Participants assigned male sex at birth with partner(s) of childbearing potential who agree to use adequate contraception through 6 months after dosing. If their partner is pregnant, males must agree to use a condom. Male participants must also refrain from sperm donation through 6 months after dosing. 9. Able to understand and comply with study requirements/procedures (if applicable, with assistance by caregiver, surrogate, or legally authorized representative) based on the assessment of the Investigator

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Prior receipt of COVID-19 vaccine, convalescent plasma, or mAb, including in the setting of a clinical trial. Note: immune compromised participants (e.g., due to hematological malignancy, anti-CD20 medication use, etc.) who have completed a COVID-19 vaccine series and who have a documented negative SARSCoV-2 Spike ("S") protein serum antibody test drawn a minimum of four weeks after completion of the recommended dosing series may be screened and subsequently enrolled if other criteria are met, including a confirmatory negative "S" protein antibody test at the time of screening. This test must be confirmed negative prior to enrollment in either Cohort A or Cohort B. 2. Receipt of any investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives before the day of enrollment. 3. Is acutely ill or has any of the following symptoms: Fever ≥38°C (≥100.4°F). Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing Chills (shivering) Cough Fatigue (low energy or tiredness) Muscle or body aches Headache Loss of taste Loss of smell Sore throat Congestion (stuffy or runny nose) Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Participants meeting this criterion may be rescheduled within the relevant window periods. 4. Has received or plans to receive a non-COVID-19 vaccine within 28 days before or after dosing (except for seasonal influenza vaccine, which is not permitted within 14 days before or after dosing). 5. Known allergy/sensitivity or hypersensitivity to the study drug, including excipients. 6. Is pregnant, as confirmed with a positive pregnancy test at Screening or on the day of dosing (Day 1), or breastfeeding. 7. Clinically significant bleeding disorder (e.g., factor deficiency, coagulopathy, or platelet disorder), or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following IM injections or venipuncture. 8. Severe and/or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, liver disease, renal disease, endocrine disorder, autoimmune disease or immune compromise, or neurological illness, as judged by the Investigator (mild/moderate well-controlled comorbidities are allowed. 9. Any serious concomitant systemic disease, condition, or disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study or confer an additional risk to the participant by their participation in the study |
