Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will examine the safety of ascending doses of AB-SA01 when topically applied to intact skin of healthy adults.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

AB-SA01 consists of three bacteriophages (viruses) that target Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

The safety of AB-SA01 will be assessed when topically administered once daily to the volar aspect of the forearm at a dose of 10\^8 plaque forming units (PFU) per phage for 3 consecutive days, and then at a dose of 10\^9 plaque forming units (PFU) per phage for 3 consecutive days. Both AB-SA01 and placebo will be administered to each subject to provide his/her own control for evaluation of skin reactions. The right or left placement of the placebo will be randomized and double-blinded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 10^8

AB-SA01 (10\^8) and Placebo

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AB-SA01 (10^8 PFU per phage)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Gauze pads will be saturated with AB-SA01 and then applied to each subject's volar forearm and covered with occlusive dressing once daily for 3 consecutive days. Placement of the gauze to each subject's right or left volar forearm will be randomized and double-blinded.

Placebo (for Cohort 10^8)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Gauze pads will be saturated with Placebo and then applied to each subject's volar forearm and covered with occlusive dressing once daily for 3 consecutive days. Placement of the gauze to each subject's right or left volar forearm will be randomized and double-blinded.

Cohort 10^9

AB-SA01 (10\^9) and Placebo

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

AB-SA01 (10^9 PFU per phage)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Gauze pads will be saturated with AB-SA01 and then applied to each subject's volar forearm and covered with occlusive dressing once daily for 3 consecutive days. Placement of the gauze to each subject's right or left volar forearm will be randomized and double-blinded.

Placebo (for Cohort 10^9)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Gauze pads will be saturated with Placebo and then applied to each subject's volar forearm and covered with occlusive dressing once daily for 3 consecutive days. Placement of the gauze to each subject's right or left volar forearm will be randomized and double-blinded.

2. Willing and able to sign the informed consent and adhere to the study schedule
3. Healthy subject as determined by the principal investigator or designee via medical history and clinical examination before enrollment in the study

Exclusion Criteria

1. Any past use of a bacteriophage product, or planned use from the time of screening and during the entire study period
2. Planned participation in another clinical trial and/or use of any product that is investigational, drug, biologic or device, within 30 days preceding screening and during the entire study period
3. Skin lesions, chronic skin conditions, scars or tattoo placement, as established by skin examination before enrollment in the study that would interfere with study treatment.
4. Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days total in the past 6 months) of immunosuppressant or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months prior to the first study treatment
5. Chronic administration of topical steroids to the volar aspect of the forearms (defined as more than 14 days total in the 6 months prior to the first study treatment)
