Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - LSALT peptide
Other interventions - 0.9% Saline

Placebo comparator: Placebo - 0.9% Saline For SAD and MAD arms.

Experimental: Single Ascending Dose - Low Dose - LSALT peptide (1mg/mL in 0.9% saline) Single escalating dose - 0.01mg, 0.1mg, 0.3mg, 0.5mg intravenously Escalation to 2.5mg and 5mg doses in next cohorts if no adverse effects are seen after 10-14 days.

Experimental: Single Ascending Dose - LSALT peptide (1mg/mL in 0.9% saline) Single dose - 1mg intravenously over 2h Escalation to next dose in next participant every 72h if no adverse effects are seen.

Experimental: Multiple Ascending Dose - LSALT peptide (1mg/mL in 0.9% saline) Dose will be determined based on results of SAD arm. LSALT will be administered intravenously once or twice daily for 3 days.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* No prior history of major organ or systemic disease including diabetes, hypertension, kidney, heart or liver disease. Participants with childhood asthma are acceptable.
* Normal hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters at screening, unless not deemed clinically significant by the investigator.
* Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 kg/m2 and 32 kg/m2 (inclusive)
* Taking no prescription medications 2 weeks prior to admission or over-the-counter medications 7 days prior to admission.
