Saline PlaceboNO_INTERVENTIONThe trial will consist of a total of 32 people. An over-enrollment of about 10% (3 volunteers) will be permitted. Each cohort will be recruited in sequence. Cohort I will include 16 subjects that will receive a subcutaneous injection, randomized equally so that 5 individuals will receive GLA-AF (2µg), 5 individuals will receive GLA-SE, 3 individuals will receive saline placebo and 3 individuals will receive SE vehicle. Cohort II will include 16 subjects that will receive intramuscular injections, randomized equally into 5 GLA-AF (2µg) subjects, 5 GLA-SE (2µg) subjects, 3 saline placebo subjects and 3 SE vehicle control subjects.

Cohort I will include 16 subjects that will receive a subcutaneous injection, randomized equally so that 5 individuals will receive GLA-AF (2µg), 5 individuals will receive GLA-SE, 3 individuals will receive saline placebo and 3 individuals will receive SE vehicle. Cohort II will include 16 subjects that will receive intramuscular injections, randomized equally into 5 GLA-AF (2µg) subjects, 5 GLA-SE (2µg) subjects, 3 saline placebo subjects and 3 SE vehicle control subjects. The SE (squalene) vehicle contains the oil emulsion in which the GLA-SE is solubilized.

Cohort II will include 16 subjects that will receive intramuscular injections, randomized equally into 5 GLA-AF (2µg) subjects, 5 GLA-SE (2µg) subjects, 3 saline placebo subjects and 3 SE vehicle control subjects. GLA-AF contains the study drug in an aqueous solution.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
GLA-AFDRUGGLA-AF contains GLA, a new synthetic lipid A molecule that combines 6 acyl chains with a single phosphorylation site. GLA-AF contains GLA in an aqueous solution. One 2 mcg injection will be given per patient in the upper arm, each randomized to either subcutaneous or intramuscular routes.
GLA-SEDRUGGLA-SE contains GLA, a new synthetic lipid A molecule that combines 6 acyl chains with a single phosphorylation site. GLA-SE contains GLA in a squalene oil emulsion. One 2 mcg injection will be given per patient in the upper arm, each randomized to either subcutaneous or intramuscular routes.
SqualeneOTHERSqualene is a natural organic compound obtained from shark liver oil. In this study, it is used to solubilize GLA in the GLA-SE formulation. Patients randomized to receive the squalene will be given one 2mcg injection of the squalene oil in the upper arm, each patient randomized further to either subcutaneous or intramuscular routes.
