This study, as a post-marketing commitment to the Food and Drug Administration, is designed to detect the effect of raxibacumab on anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) immunogenicity in a healthy volunteer population. This is a randomized, open-label, parallel group, two arm study to compare the immunogenicity of AVA at 4 weeks after the first AVA dose, when AVA is administered alone or concomitantly with raxibacumab. The study is planned to enroll approximately 30 to 534 subjects in up to 3 cohorts. The total duration of the study will be approximately 26 weeks. The dates reflect cohort 1.

Ratio of Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMC) of Anti-protective Antigen (PA) Antibody (Ab) at 4 Weeks (Day 29) After the First AVA Dose (Prior to the Third AVA Dose), Between the AVA Alone and the AVA With Raxibacumab Treatment Groups
Ratio of the GMC of anti-PA Ab between AVA alone and the AVA with raxibacumab treatment group was assessed to compare the immunogenicity of AVA at 4 weeks after the first AVA dose (prior to the third AVA dose). Serum AVA derived anti-PA Ab concentrations were determined using an approved immunoassay. Per Protocol (PP) population was used in analysis which comprised of all analyzable participants (those who received at least the Week 0 \[Day 1\] and Week 2 \[Day 15\] AVA doses within the protocol specified visit window; receive the raxibacumab dose, if randomized to Treatment Group 2 and; completed the primary study endpoint assessment \[anti-PA Ab concentration at Week 4\]).
Time frame: Day 29
Ratio of GMC of Anti-PA Ab at Weeks 8 and 26 (Days 57 and 183) After the First AVA Dose, Between the AVA Alone and AVA With Raxibacumab Treatment Groups
Anti-PA antibody concentrations were collected at Weeks 8 and 26 after the first AVA dose. Serum AVA derived anti-PA Ab concentrations were determined using an approved immunoassay. The GMCs with corresponding 95% CI were calculated for each treatment group at each timepoint. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Days 57 and 183
Percentage of Participants Who Seroconvert, at Weeks 4, 8, and 26 (Days 29, 57 and 183) After the First AVA Dose, Between the AVA Alone and the AVA With Raxibacumab Treatment Groups
The percentage of participants, with corresponding 95% CI based on Wilson's method, who seroconvert (seroconversion is defined as a \>4-fold increase in toxin neutralizing activity \[TNA\] titer) was summarized, at Weeks 4, 8 and 26 after the first AVA dose for both arms separately. Serum TNA titer was determined using a cell-based assay.
Time frame: Days 29, 57 and 183

Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and Any Non-serious Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE resulting in death, is life threatening (ie, an immediate threat to life), inpatient hospitalization, prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect or any other situation which is medically important and may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention or events associated with liver injury and impaired liver function is categorized as SAE. The Safety population was comprised of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of AVA.
Time frame: Up to Day 183
Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) at Indicated Time Points
SBP and DBP were measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest. Values at Day -1 were considered as Baseline values. Change from Baseline was defined as difference between the post-Baseline visit value and the Baseline value. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Baseline and up to Day 183
Change From Baseline in Heart Rate at Indicated Time Points
Heart rate was measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest. Values at Day -1 were considered as Baseline values. Change from Baseline was defined as difference between the post-Baseline visit value and the Baseline value. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Baseline and up to Day 183
Change From Baseline in Respiratory Rate at Indicated Time Points
Respiratory rate was measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest. Values at Day -1 were considered as Baseline values. Change from Baseline was defined as difference between the post-Baseline visit value and the Baseline value. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Baseline and up to Day 183
Change From Baseline in Temperature at Indicated Time Points
Temperature was measured in semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest. Values at Day -1 were considered as Baseline values. Change from Baseline was defined as difference between the post-Baseline visit value and the Baseline value. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Baseline and up to Day 183
Number of Participants With Hematology Parameters Outside Normal Range
Hematology parameters included assessment of platelet count, erythrocytes, leukocytes , reticulocyte count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Here high is equal to above the upper limit of the normal range, low is equal to below the lower limit of the normal range. Participants are counted in the category that their value changes to (low, normal or high), unless there is no change in their category. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Up to Day 57
Number of Participants With Clinical Chemistry Parameters Outside Normal Range
Blood samples were collected to evaluate clinical chemistry parameters, which included assessment of urea nitrogen (UN), creatinine, chloride, glucose, magnesium, total protein, potassium, chloride, total Carbon dioxide (CO2), sodium, calcium (cal), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), total and direct bilirubin ( D.bili), albumin and calculated creatinine clearance. Here high is equal to above the upper limit of the normal range, low is equal to below the lower limit of the normal range. Participants are counted in the category that their value changes to (low, normal or high), unless there is no change in their category. Only those participants available at the specified time points (represented by n=X in the category titles) were analyzed.
Time frame: Up to Day 57
