-
Subject has received or is planning to receive administration of any vaccine (other than injectable Influenza vaccine) from 28 days prior to the first dose through 2 weeks after the last dose of the study vaccine.
-
Subject received any specific immunotherapy for allergy (e.g., epicutaneous immunotherapy [EPIT], sublingual immunotherapy [SLIT], Subcutaneous immunotherapy [SCIT] and oral immunotherapy [OIT]) during the past 12 months, currently or plans to receive during the course of the study.
-
Subject has used the following drug(s) prior to the dosing of the study vaccine:
- Within 2 months prior to study vaccine administration: Systemic (or inhaled) steroid, chemical mediator-isolation inhibitor, T helper cell type 2 (Th2) cytokine inhibitor, thromboxane A2 synthesis inhibitor, thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, β-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and/or angiotensin-receptor blockers
- Within 3 months prior to study vaccine administration: Biologics and/or immune modulators (including anti-TNFα antibody and anti-IgE monoclonal antibody)
-
Subject has history of allergic reactions such as anaphylactic shock, angioedema with airway constriction or hypotension caused by food other than peanut and/or medical products (including vaccine) in the past.
-
Subject's laboratory test results at screening or prior to study drug dosing on day 1 are outside the normal limits and are considered clinically significant.
-
Subjects with anti-Lysosomal associated membrane protein (LAMP)-1 antibodies above the cut-point for the Tier 1 assay and who are confirmed positive in the Tier 2 assay at Screen 1 visit (baseline).
-
Subject had a positive test result for hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen/antibody.
-
Subject had a positive urine drug screen result.

Subject has immune disorders (including autoimmune disease) and/or diseases requiring immunosuppressive drugs.
-
Subject was diagnosed with immunodeficiency in the past.
-
Subject has uncontrolled hypertension.
-
Subject has a history of cardiovascular disease, arrhythmias, chronic lung disease, active eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease or any other medical or surgical conditions, which, places the subject at increased risk for participation in the study.

Group Intervention Description ASP0892 Low Dose (Cohort A) ASP0892 Each cohort will consist of 10 participants (ASP0892 n = 8 and placebo n = 2). The data will be assessed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) after all enrolled cohort A participants complete visits through day 43. Assessments for safety, tolerability, and dose escalation will occur prior to beginning cohort B. Placebo Placebo Each cohort will consist of 10 participants (ASP0892 n = 8 and placebo n = 2). The data will be assessed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) after all enrolled cohort A participants complete visits through day 43. Assessments for safety, tolerability, and dose escalation will occur prior to beginning cohort B. ASP0892 High Dose (Cohort B) ASP0892 After all participants in cohort A complete study procedures, the DMC will review the safety and tolerability data and provide recommendations depending on the nature, frequency and severity of the safety profile reviewed. Recommendations will be to proceed with escalation to the next higher dose or stop dose escalation (i.e., no further dosing with study drug).
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety as assessed by Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Up to Day 576 Adverse Events (AEs) will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). AEs starting or worsening after the first dose of study drug up through study completion will be considered treatment-emergent.
Safety as assessed by systemic reactogenicity reactions Up to Day 50 Participants will be asked to record systemic reactogenicity (nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, myalgia) on a daily basis for 7 consecutive days after the injection, each treatment will be summarized. Grades range from 1 (mild) to 4 (Potentially Life Threatening).
Safety assessed by Anti-LAMP-1 antibody Up to Day 576 Anti-LAMP-1 antibody formation for all participants will be summarized for each treatment by visit using descriptive statistics.
Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events Up to Day 576 Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.
Safety as assessed by local reactogenicity reactions Up to Day 50 Participants will be asked to record local reactogenicity (pain, tenderness; erythema/redness, Induration/Swelling) on a daily basis for 7 consecutive days after the injection, each treatment will be summarized. Grades range from 1 (mild) to 4 (Potentially Life Threatening).
Number of participants with vital signs abnormalities and/or adverse events Up to Day 576 Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.
