   • Note: Menstruating females failing inclusion criteria due to a positive blood on urine dipstick may be retested following cessation of menses.

    • Note: The following exceptions to laboratory normal reference ranges are allowed: Creatinine, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin, AST, ALT, lipase, amylase, Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) below the lower limit of normal (LLN); CK less than 400mg/ml; Glucose, potassium, total protein, and alkaline phosphatase with a toxicity grade of 1 is allowable; albumin above the upper limit of normal (ULN).
    • Laboratory values that are outside the range of eligibility but are thought to be due to an acute condition or due to laboratory error may be repeated once.
    • Abnormalities in mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), and nucleated red blood cell count (NRBC CT), which are included in a complete blood count with differential, will not be exclusions.

15. Agrees not to participate in vigorous activity 72 hours prior to dosing through day 15 post dosing

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of a chronic medical condition that would either interfere with the accurate assessment of the objectives of the study or increase the risk profile of the subject.

   • Note: Chronic medical conditions include diabetes; Asthma requiring use of medication in the year before screening; Autoimmune disorder such as lupus, Wegener's, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease; Coronary artery disease; Chronic hypertension; History of malignancy except low-grade (squamous and basal cell) skin cancer thought to be cured; chronic renal, hepatic, pulmonary, or endocrine disease (except previous asthma which has required no treatment for the past year);

2. History of severe allergic reaction of any type to medications, bee stings, food, or environmental factors or hypersensitivity or reaction to immunoglobulins.

   • Note: Severe allergic reaction is defined as any of the following: anaphylaxis, urticaria, or angioedema
3. A marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval >450 milliseconds)

4. Clinically significant abnormal electrocardiogram at screening.

   • Note: Clinically significant abnormal ECG results include: complete left or right bundle branch block; other ventricular conduction block; 2nd degree or 3rd degree atrioventricular (AV) block; sustained ventricular arrhythmia; sustained atrial arrhythmia; two Premature Ventricular Contractions in a row; pattern of ST elevation felt consistent with cardiac ischemia; or any condition deemed clinically significant by a study investigator
5. Positive serology results for HIV, HBsAg, or HCV antibodies
6. Febrile illness with temperature ≥38°C within 7 days of dosing
7. Pregnant or breastfeeding
8. Donated blood within 56 days of enrollment
9. Known allergic reactions to any of the study product components present in the formulation or in the processing, as listed in the Investigator Brochure
10. Treatment with another investigational drug within 28 days of dosing
11. Treatment with a monoclonal antibody at any time
12. Receipt of antibody (e.g. TIG, VZIG, IVIG, IM gamma globulin) or blood transfusion within 6 months or within 5 half-lives of the specific product given
13. Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements
14. Use of H1 antihistamines or beta-blockers within 5 days of dosing

15. Use of any prohibited medication within 28 days prior to study entry or planned use during the study period

    • Note: Prohibited medications include immunosuppressives (except Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs [NSAIDS]); immune modulators; oral corticosteroids (topical/intranasal steroids are acceptable); anti-neoplastic agents; any vaccine (licensed or investigational)
16. Previous exposure to botulinum toxin, receipt of antibodies against botulinum toxin, or previous treatment with equine antitoxin
17. Any previous injection or planned injection within 4 months after enrollment of botulinum toxin for cosmetic reasons, spastic dysphonia, torticollis, or any other reason
18. Any specific condition that in the judgment of the investigator precludes participation because it could affect subject safety

19. Plans to enroll or is already enrolled in another clinical trial* that could interfere with safety assessment of the investigational product at any time during the study period

    • Note: Includes trials that have a study intervention such as a drug, biologic, or device
