The primary objective of Part 1 (Single Ascending Dose) is to assess the safety and tolerability of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgY when given as single-ascending doses administered intranasally to healthy participants. The primary objective of Part 2 (Multiple Dose) is to assess the safety and tolerability of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgY when given as multiple doses administered intranasally to healthy participants. A secondary objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgY when given as multiple doses administered intranasally to healthy participants. Safety will be evaluated using adverse event (AE), physical examination (including vital signs), electrocardiogram, and clinical laboratory data. Pharmacokinetics will be evaluated by serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgY concentration.
