Conditions
Brief summary
The main aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of APG990 in healthy participants. The results of this study will help inform the dosing and frequency of dosing in patients with inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis, which is the anticipated main therapeutic use for APG990.
Interventions
This study will evaluate single ascending doses (SAD) of APG990 administered subcutaneously (SC) in healthy participants. In each of 5 treatment cohorts (maximum), 8 participants will be randomized 6:2 to APG990 or placebo (up to 40 participants total). Cohort 1 - APG990 Dose 75 milligram (mg) or placebo Cohort 2 - APG990 Dose 150 mg or placebo Cohort 3 - APG990 Dose 300 mg or placebo Cohort 4 - APG990 Dose 600 mg or placebo Cohort 5 - APG990 Dose 1200 mg or placebo The study will be conducted at a single site in Australia. The anticipated duration of the study is up to approximately 267 days, including screening and safety follow-up. This is a single dose study. The study drug will be administered in the clinical research unit (CRU) by qualified/trained study staff. Any issues or deviations that occur during dosing will be reported to the Sponsor as soon as feasibly possible.
