Purpose
The purpose of this phase I trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of GHB01L1 administered as single dose intranasal aerosol for vaccination against influenza A (H1N1) virus.
This study is performed further to assess local and systemic immune response and to analyse pharmacokinetics (shedding) of a single dose GHB01L1 aerosol administered intranasally.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- The primary objective of safety and tolerability of GHB01L1 administered as single dose intranasal aerosol will be evaluated by clinical signs and symptoms as well as laboratory tests. [ Time Frame: Beginning with signing Informed Consent through 30 days after study end ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Local immune response: IgA and cytokines response in nasal mucosal samples. Systemic Immune response: HAI, MNA and IgG assessment in serum samples. Pharmacokinetics: qualitative assessment of viral recovery (shedding) in nasal mucosal samples. [ Time Frame: Samples are collected at baseline and at several time points till day 29 (end of study) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Detailed Description:
GHB01L1 intends to provide a novel vaccination for influenza virus infection. Data indicate that the GHB01L1 virus is a promising, safe and immunogenic vaccine candidate with a high protection efficacy against the pathogenic wild-type virus challenge.
48 healthy volunteers will be included in a phase I dose escalation study investigating five dose levels. 8 subjects per each of the five dose levels and additional 8 subjects at the highest dose level respectively the maximum tolerated dose level will be randomized at a ratio of 6:2 for GHB01L1 or placebo according to a fixed dose escalation plan.
After all subjects of one dose level have been treated and observed for the safety observation period of one week, an interim safety review will be performed by an Expert Committee. The Expert Committee will review any occurred adverse event and will decide on dose escalation to the next dose level.
Only male healthy volunteers aged 18-50 and seronegative with respect to the applied virus antigens (with antibody titers <1:10 detected in hemagglutination inhibition assay) will be randomized.
GHB01L1 will be administered once on day 1. After a 3 days inpatient period follow-up visits will be performed on day 4, 5, 8, 15 and the study will be terminated on day 29.
