Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Frequency and nature of injection site reaction
7 days after administration of the investigational products

Injection site reactions occurring up to 7 days after administration of the investigational product

Frequency and nature of systemic reactions
7 days after administration of the investigational products

Systemic reactions occurring up to 7 days after administration of the investigational product.

Frequency and nature of Serious Adverse Events
72 Weeks after administration of the investigational products

SAE will be classified using the CTCAE v5 throughout the study

Evaluation of the pain experienced by the participant
Immediately after EP, 5 minutes after EP and 10 minutes after EP

Visual analogue scale (VAS). A VAS consists of a horizontal line, 10 cm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end (no pain = 0 cm; worst pain = 10 cm). The VAS score is determined by measuring in centimeters from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks. Absolute initial value and change over time will be described.

Evaluation of laboratory related adverse events
Up to 7 days after administration of the investigational product

Laboratory AEs will be assessed and graded in accordance with the "Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials", issued in September 2007.

Serum concentration of dMAb AZD5396 nm/mL.
Up to 72 Weeks after administration of the investigational products

The number and percentage of participants in which detection of monoclonal antibody dMAb AZD5396 in serum is achieved will be summarized with a point estimate and corresponding exact 90% Clopper- Pearson confidence interval. These will be summarized per time point within each cohort. We will also estimate the time to 50% decline from peak concentration.

Serum concentration of dMAb AZD8076 nm/mL.
Up to 72 Weeks after administration of the investigational products

The number and percentage of participants in which detection of monoclonal antibody dMAb AZD8076 in serum is achieved will be summarized with a point estimate and corresponding exact 90% Clopper- Pearson confidence interval. These will be summarized per time point within each cohort. We will also estimate the time to 50% decline from peak concentration.
