A Phase 1 Single-center (U.S.), Open Label, Dose-escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Single Doses of Intravenous AerucinTM in Healthy Adult Subjects

This study will evaluate the safety profile and pharmacokinetic behavior of a single
administration of Aerucin in healthy adults at three different dosages.

This Phase I trial will be conducted as an open label trial in 15 healthy adults. All
subjects will receive a specific intravenous dose of Aerucin. There are three study groups,
each with a specific dose of Aerucin. Study Group 1 will receive 2.0 mg/ kg of Aerucin .
Study Group 2 will receive 8.0 mg/kg of Aerucin . Study Group 3 will receive 20 mg/kg of
Aerucin . The dose levels of Aerucin are selected for this study based on animal studies
showing protection in an animal model and absence of adverse effects in toxicological
studies. Groups will be enrolled sequentially.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has completed the written informed consent process

2. Is male or female

3. Is age ≥18 years and ≤50 years

4. Agrees to stay in contact with the study site for the duration of the study, provide
updated contact information as necessary, and has no current plans to move from the
study area for the duration of the study

5. Agrees to avoid elective surgery for the duration of the study

6. For female subjects: agrees to have avoided pregnancy from 14 days prior to Study Day
0 through the duration of the study. Women physically capable of pregnancy (not
sterilized and still menstruating or within 1 year of the last menses if menopausal)
in sexual relationships with men must use an acceptable method of avoiding pregnancy
during this period. Acceptable methods of avoiding pregnancy include: a sterile
sexual partner; sexual abstinence (not engaging in any sexual intercourse); hormonal
contraceptives (oral, injection, transdermal patch, or implant); vaginal ring;
intrauterine device (IUD); or condom.

7. Has general good health, confirmed by medical history and physical examination

8. Has body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30 (weight/height) -

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Oral temperature ≥37.5°C

2. Abnormal CBC laboratory values (per local laboratory parameters) from blood collected
at screening (>5% above ULN or >5% below LLN)

3. Abnormally elevated laboratory values (per local laboratory parameters) from blood
collected at screening for ALT, AST, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP),
blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), (>10% above ULN)

4. Abnormal urinalysis that, in the opinion of the investigator, is clinically
significant

5. Positive screening urine test for illicit drugs (opiates, cocaine, amphetamines)

6. Has received an immunoglobulin product in the 120 days prior to Study Day 0

7. History or evidence of autoimmune disease

8. History or evidence of any past, present, or future possible immunodeficiency state,
including laboratory evidence of HIV 1 infection.

9. History or evidence of chronic hepatitis

10. History of evidence of Pseudomonas infection

11. Received a systemic antibiotic with 14 days prior to Study Day 0

12. Participation in any other investigational study during the study period

13. Received immunoglobulin or blood products within 90 days prior to Study Day 0

14. Received any investigational drug therapy or investigational drug within 60 days
prior to Study Day 0

15. Received immunosuppressive medications other than inhaled or topical
immunosuppressants within 45 days prior to Study Day 0

16. Inability to discontinue daily medications during the study other than: oral
contraceptives, vitamins, nonprescription nutritional supplements, aspirin,
antihistamines inhaled corticosteroids, inhaled beta agonists, inhaled
anticholinergics

17. All female subjects: currently pregnant or lactating/nursing; positive screening
urine pregnancy test; or positive urine pregnancy test on the day of any study dosing

18. History or evidence of allergic disease or reaction that, in the opinion of the
investigator, may compromise the safety of the subject

19. History or evidence of any other acute or chronic disease that, in the opinion of the
investigator, may interfere with the evaluation of the safety or immunogenicity of
the drug or compromise the safety of the subject

20. Medical, psychiatric, occupational, or substance abuse problems that, in the opinion
of the investigator, will make it unlikely that the subject will comply with the
protocol

21. Any other reason at discretion of the investigator -
