Dose Escalating Study of a Prototype CS6 Subunit Vaccine With a Modified Heat-labile Enterotoxin From Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (ETEC)

1. Health problems (for example, intercurrent febrile illness, chronic medical conditions such as psychiatric conditions, diabetes mellitus, hypertension or any other condition that might place the subject at increased risk of adverse events) - study clinicians, in consultation with the PI, will use clinical judgment on a case-by-case basis to assess safety risks under this criterion. The PI will consult with the Research Monitor as appropriate.

2. Clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination.

3. Immunosuppressive drugs (use of systemic corticosteroids or chemotherapeutics that may influence antibody development) or illness (including immunoglobulin A \[IgA\] deficiency, defined by serum IgA \< 7 mg/dL).

4. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study period plus three (3) months beyond the last received dose and currently nursing women.

5. Participation in research involving another investigational product (defined as receipt of investigational product or exposure to invasive investigational device) 30 days before planned date of first vaccination or anytime through the last study safety visit.

6. Positive blood test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1/2.

7. Clinically significant abnormalities on basic laboratory screening.

8. Exclusionary skin disease history/findings that would confound assessment or prevent appropriate local monitoring of adverse events (AEs), or possibly increase the risk of a local AE

9. History of chronic skin disease (clinician judgement)

10. Acute skin infection/eruptions on the upper arms including fungal infections, severe acne or active contact dermatitis

11. Allergies that may increase the risk of AEs

12. Regular use (weekly or more often) of antidiarrheal, anti-constipation, or antacid therapy

13. Abnormal stool pattern (fewer than 3 stools per week or more than 3 stools per day) on a regular basis; loose or liquid stools on other than an occasional basis

14. History of microbiologically confirmed ETEC or cholera infection in the last 3 years

15. Travel to countries where ETEC or V. cholerae or other enteric infections are endemic (most of the developing world) within 3 years prior to dosing (clinician judgement)

16. Symptoms consistent with Travelers' Diarrhea or concurrent with travel to countries where ETEC infection is endemic (most of the developing world) within 3 years prior to dosing, OR planned travel to endemic countries during the length of the study

17. Vaccination for or ingestion of ETEC, cholera, or E. coli heat labile toxin within 3 years prior to dosing

18. Occupation involving handling of ETEC or V. cholerae currently, or in the past 3 years
