About this study

The primary objective of the study : evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intramuscular injection of recombinant human anti-tetanus toxin monoclonal antibody injection in healthy adult participants. The secondary objectives are:

  • to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of a single intramuscular injection of recombinant human anti-tetanus toxin monoclonal antibody injection in healthy adult participants;
  • to evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of a single intramuscular injection of recombinant human anti-tetanus toxin monoclonal antibody injection in healthy adult participants;
  • to evaluate the immunogenicity of a single intramuscular injection of recombinant human anti-tetanus toxin monoclonal antibody injection in healthy adult participants.
