Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study will be conducted in three parts. Part A and Part B have already been registered and this registration of Part C will be evaluating DNTH103 PK following administration of human normal immunoglobulin (Ig)G. Part C will be open label and will not be placebo controlled.

Up to a maximum of 8 participants will be enrolled in a single cohort (IV7) receiving DNTH103 at a single dose level as an intravenous (IV) infusion or a subcutaneous injection (SC) following administration of the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) ,Privigen® NZ (10% [100 g/L]), solution for IV infusion. No sentinel dosing is required.

Single dose DNTH103, administered on Day 1 after administration of Privigen NZ solution for IV infusion on Days -8 and -7

Initial Medication: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) G, Privigen (10% [100 g/L]) for infusion, at the following dose:
• IV7, 0.5 g/kg of body weight per day for 2 consecutive days (total dose: 1 g/kg)

Investigational Product: DNTH103 IV infusion, 1 week after Privigen NZ solution:
• IV7, 10 mg/kg

Investigational Product: DNTH103 SC injection, 1 week after Privigen NZ solution:
• IV7, 600 mg

Part C will be initiated after dosing and SRC review is completed for Part A cohort SAD IV4.

Adherence to intervention will be undertaken via drug accountability.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a first-in-human, randomised, placebo-controlled, ascending dose study.
DNTH103 is being developed as a potential treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. This Phase I study will investigate the effects of DNTH103 in healthy participants when given as a single (ascending /SAD) dose subcutaneously (SC) or intravenously (IV), multiple (ascending/MAD) SC doses or as a single IV dose following IV administration of human normal immunoglobulin (Ig)G .
