Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of NAV 242 in healthy participants. Approximately 40 healthy adult volunteer participants, in Part A and Part B (up to 5 cohorts with 8 participants per cohort). Each part of the study will include a screening period of up to 6 weeks, a treatment period of 4 days (Part A), or 60 days (Part B) and a follow up period of 32 weeks. The approximate total study duration is 38 weeks for each participant in Part A, 46 weeks for each participant in Part B, 40 weeks.

Interventions

This is a Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and immunogenicity of NAV-242 in healthy participants. The study is divided into two parts: • Part A - a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) study in healthy adult participants. Each participant enrolled in Part A will receive a single dose of the study drug via subcutaneous (SC) injection. • Part B - a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in he

Each participant enrolled in Part A will receive a single dose of the study drug via subcutaneous (SC) injection. • Part B - a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in healthy adult participants. Participants enrolled in Part B will receive up to 2 doses of the study drug either 4 weeks or 8 weeks apart, administered subcutaneously. Each part of the study will include a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period. After signing the informed consent, participants will be screened over a period of up to 6 weeks prior to admission into the Phase 1 unit. During the screening period, medical history will be reviewed and tests/assessments will be done to determine if eligibility for the study is met. On Day -1, eligible participants will be admitted to the Phase 1 unit prior to administration of the study drug. For participants in Part A (SAD): Part A has 4 cohorts, corresponding to different dose levels of NAV-242 that will be administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection; Cohort A1 100mg (1mL), Cohort A2 300mg (3mL), Cohort A3 600 mg (6mL) and Cohort A4 800mg (8mL). The single dose will be administered on Day 1 in an inpatient setting. Participants will remain in the Phase 1 unit from Day -1 to Day 4, and will be discharged on Day 4 following 72-hour post-dose safety evaluation and PK sample collection. For participants in Part B (MAD): Part B has 2 cohorts, each with up to 2 different dose levels and intervals of NAV-242, administration via subcutaneous (SC) injection. Cohort B1 is a 4-week interval between a first dose of 400mg (4mL) and a second dose of 200mg (2mL); Cohort B2 is an 8-week interval between a first dose of 600mg (6mL) and second dose of 300mg (3mL). Both cohorts will have their first dose administered on Day 1 in an inpatient setting. Participants will remain in the Phase 1 unit from Day -1 to Day 4, and will be discharged on Day 4 following 72-hour post-dose safety evaluation and PK sample collection. The second doses of study drug will be administered on Day 29 (Cohort B1; 4-week interval) or Day 57 (Cohort B2 8-week interval). Participants will check-in to the Phase 1 unit the day before administration of the second dose and remain in the Phase 1 unit for72-hours post dosing for safety evaluation and PK sample collection (Days 28-32 for Cohort B1 and Days 56-60 for Cohort B2). Following each dose, all participants will return for outpatient follow-up visits and the End of study (EOS) visit: Part A, all cohorts: Outpatient follow-up visits on days 8, 15, 29, 57, 85, 113, 141 and EOS visit on Day 169 Cohort B1: Outpatient follow-up visits on days 8, 15, 36, 43, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169 and EOS visit on Day 197. Cohort B2: Outpatient follow-up visits on days 8, 15, 29, 64, 71, 85, 113, 141, 169, 197 and EOS visit on Day 225.
