Study population Healthy adults, aged 18-60 Inclusion and exclusion INCLUSION CRITERIA AT ENROLLMENT: criteria • Subject must be 18-60 years of age • Subject must read and sign a copy of the approved Consent Form INCLUSION CRITERIA AT DAY -28 • Female subjects must be using an effective birth control method INCLUSION CRITERIA AT CHALLENGE: • Female subjects must be using an effective birth control method • Subject must have a serum neutralizing antibody titer of less than or equal to 1:4 to rhinovirus type 39 EXCLUSION CRITERIA AT ENROLLMENT: EXCLUSION CRITERIA AT DAY –28 • Antibiotic use within 3 months prior to study start • Female subjects with a positive urine pregnancy screen • History of use of probiotics in the preceding two weeks • Current cancer diagnosis or immunosuppressive therapy in the last 6 months Page 5 of 40 Confidential Not to be copied GCP SOP • Any clinically significant abnormalities of the upper respiratory tract • Any clinically significant acute or chronic respiratory illness • Any clinically significant bleeding tendency by history • Hypertension that requires treatment with antihypertensive medications • History of angina or other clinically significant cardiac disease • Any medical condition that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator is cause for exclusion from the study • History of regular use (more than 3 days in 7) of tobacco products within the preceding two weeks • History of drug or alcohol abuse in the 6 months preceding the study EXCLUSION CRITERIA AT CHALLENGE: • Any upper respiratory infection or allergic rhinitis in the two weeks prior to the challenge • Any medical condition that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator is cause for exclusion from the study • Positive pregnancy screen prior to challenge • Use of any anti-inflammatory (steroids or NSAIDs) or cough/cold or allergy preparation in the two weeks prior to the challenge Study design Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Study product Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Bl-04 as powder mixed into drink. Response variables and Primary efficacy endpoints • Incidence of clinically defined rhinovirus- • Primary efficacy associated cold episodes Page 6 of 40 Confidential Not to be copied GCP SOP • Secondary efficacy Secondary efficacy • Exploratory endpoints • Duration of illness episodes • Infection rate • Viral load • Proportion shedding the virus Exploratory endpoints • Blood transcriptomics • Fecal, nasal, and throat microbiota • Nasal cytokine response • Cold questionnaire comparison Safety AEs and SAEs will be followed throughout the trial Statistics Sample size A sample size of 95 completed subjects/arm would be expected to detect a reduction in rhinovirus- induced illness of 20% (from 60% to 40%) with 80% power with p = 0.05. α Methdology The primary endpoint, the incidence of rhinovirus- associated illness episodes between the treatment groups will be tested with a chi-square test and logistic regression model. T-test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and ANOVA will be used for secondary parameters. Descriptive statistics for safety and other variables will be reported.

Volunteers who are found to have antibody titers ≤1:4 to the study virus will be invited to consent for participation in the EPRIC study. Only volunteers who were tested more than 12 weeks prior to the screening visit will have serology repeated at this visit.
