Summary
Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SGB-9768 subcutaneously administered in Healthy Subjects.The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGB-9768 when administered subcutaneously as a single ascending dose in healthy volunteers. The secondary purpose of this study is to characterize and evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effect of SGB-9768 following subcutaneous administration. The SAD phase will enroll 36 healthy participants to be split into 6 cohorts, comprising 6 subjects each (4 active, 2 placeboes). Single doses of 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg of SBG-9768 will be administered subcutaneously. Participants will complete a total of 3 overnight stays [admission on D-1 to post-dose on D3, followed by at least 12 follow-up visits on Day 5, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, Day 43, Day 57, Day 85, Day 113, Day 141, and Day 169, then every 8 weeks until C3 level returns to above 60% of baseline or within normal range, but not exceed 337 days after the study drug administration.
