Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase One single ascending dose (SAD) study, with an adaptive Type One diabetes (T1D) patient arm, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SAB-142 in healthy participants, and (if relevant) T1D patients.

The study is planned for 5 dose levels and is planned to be conducted in healthy volunteers unless the adaptive criteria in the study are met. The adaptive criteria are based on the data collected in each cohort. This data includes clinical labs, Adverse Events and other data that is reviewed by the Safety Review Committee. If the protocol defined criteria are met, the study will be transitioned to patients with T1D as it could be more beneficial to continue dosing in patients with T1D rather than in HV. Despite this being a Phase 1 study, if the preclinical and other comparator data is confirmed, there could be benefit for the patients with Type 1 Diabetes.

Healthy adult volunteers or T1D patients will be enrolled across a total of upto 10 cohorts (5 cohorts + 2 additional cohorts for potential repeated or intermediate dose + up to 3 additional repeat cohorts evaluating the Pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of the new clinical lot of study drug SAB-142):
- Cohort 1 (ratio 2:1 active: placebo)
- Cohorts 2 to 5 and additional cohorts (8 each cohort, ratio 3:1 active: placebo).

The starting dose will be 0.03 mg/kg with 5 dose levels planned (up to 2.5 mg/kg). SAB-142 will be administered intravenously (IV), as a single dose, at the following dose levels:
- Cohort 1: 0.03 mg/kg
- Cohort 2: 0.1 mg/kg
- Cohort 3: 0.5 mg/kg
- Cohort 4: 1.5 mg/kg
- Cohort 5: 2.5 mg/kg

The doses for the 2 repeated or intermediate potential cohorts is yet to be confirmed.
The 3 additional repeat PD cohorts will be dosed with dose levels of 0.5 mg/kg, 1.5 mg/kg and/or 2.5 mg/kg.
In the event that the adaptive T1D patient arm of the study proceeds, dosing of healthy volunteers (HVs) will cease and T1D patients will be enrolled and randomised (6 each cohort, 2:1 active: placebo). The starting dose for the T1D patients will be equivalent to the next dose administered to the HVs full cohort, or will be equivalent to the last dose level administered to the HVs if a transition to the T1D patients is recommended after the sentinel dosing.

Dosing in each cohort will commence with two sentinel participants, with one of the two sentinels randomised to receive SAB-142 and the other randomised to receive placebo. The sentinel participants will be monitored in the clinic for at least 7 days and at least 3 days of available safety/tolerability data (including blood and urine safety laboratory results) will be reviewed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) prior to dosing the remainder of participants in each cohort.

SAB-142 or placebo will be diluted to the appropriate dose level in 500 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride by the unblinded study pharmacist. Intravenous infusion of study drug will be over approximately 8 hours. Participants in Cohorts 1 through to 3 will be administered the complete dose of study drug (up to 0.5 mg/kg) on Day 1. Participants in Cohorts 4 and 5 will be administered 0.5 mg/kg of study drug on Day 1 with the remaining dose with an additional 500 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride on Day 2.

The total maximum study duration for participants will be 232 days, which includes a 45-day screening period, 7-day confinement period, and a 173-day follow-up period.

Participants will be required to attend the study clinic at the 2 screening visits and at follow-up visits on Day 10, day 14, day 30, day 45, day 90, day 120 and at the end of study (EOS) visit on day 180. Participants will be confined to the clinical facility from Day -1 to Day 7 (a total of 7 nights and 8 days)

Clinical facility staff will administer the study drug only to participants included in this study following the procedures set out in this study protocol. Administration of study drugs will be recorded in the appropriate drug accountability records and the eCRF. Administration of study drug will be verified by a second staff member. Each participant will be given only the study drug preparation carrying his/her study number.

30. Liver function test results elevated above the upper limit of normal (ULN) for gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), ALP, AST or ALT, or total bilirubin; A repeat test is allowed, with 1 of the 2 values being in range.
31. Any abnormality in serum chemistry, haematology, coagulation, or urinalysis at screening and/or at check-in on Day -1 that is outside of the laboratory reference range and considered clinically significant or potentially indicative of infection, inflammation, coagulopathies, liver and/or renal dysfunction by the Investigator and that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could interfere with the objective of the study. Any laboratory abnormality may be re-tested and a participant may be enrolled at the discretion of the PI (or delegate) if any conditions above are excluded;
32. Participant is breastfeeding, or pregnant, or planning to breastfeed or become pregnant during the study;
33. Treatment with a small molecule investigational drug or an investigational vaccine (including those drugs and vaccines used under Emergency Use Authorisation) or a participation in another clinical trial within 30 days or 5 half- lives from the last dose (whichever is longer) prior to the first administration of study drug in this trial or at any time through the study up to the EoS visit;
34. Any other condition or prior therapy that in the opinion of the PI would make the volunteer unsuitable for this study, including inability to cooperate fully with the requirements of the study protocol or likelihood of noncompliance with any study requirements.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
All study participants who sign an informed consent form (ICF) at screening will receive a unique sequential number (i.e., a screening number). Participants who meet the study eligibility criteria will be assigned a randomisation number pre-dose on Day 1, which corresponds to a study treatment (SAB-142 or placebo).

The randomisation schedule will be prepared by an unblinded statistician and maintained under controlled access. A copy of the randomisation schedule will be provided to unblinded site staff responsible for dispensing the study drugs. The unblinded site staff will store the randomisation schedule in a secure, restricted access area. The unblinded site staff involved in the dispensing of the study drugs will be accountable for ensuring compliance to the randomisation schedule.

Where code-break envelopes are used a record, including date, time, name and signature of the person opening the envelope and reason, must be made both on the opened envelope and in the participant’s medical records
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The allocation to SAB-142 or placebo will be performed using a block randomisation algorithm and will be documented in the study randomisation schedule. Randomisation numbers assigned will be in accordance with this randomisation schedule.
