Conditions
Brief summary
- This study will test a new investigational medicine called MAR005 in healthy adult volunteers. - The purpose is to find out whether MAR005 is safe and well tolerated when given multiple times. -Researchers will also study how the body absorbs, distributes, and removes the medicine, and how the medicine affects the body. -Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either MAR005 or a MAR001 and neither the participants nor the study team will know which treatment is being given during the study.
Interventions
Up to 6 healthy participants will be receiving MAR005. MAR005 is a monoclonal antibody designed to block angiopoietin-like 4. MAR005 is structurally identical to MAR001 aside from two additional amino acid substitutions in the Fc domain of MAR005 that are designed to improve the half-life of the drug. Investigational product: 300 mg dose of MAR005 for subcutaneous (SC) injection administered by site staff on Day 1 and Day 29. Dosing will be staggered with 1 participant from the MAR005 arm dosed at least 47 hours before the remaining participants. Participants will be screened within 28 days before their first dose of trial intervention. They will reside in the Clinical Unit from the day before dosing until the day after dosing for each dosing instance. Safety assessments will be conducted throughout the trial, and participants will attend 11 outpatient visits. Adherence to the intervention will be monitored through direct administration of all doses by qualified study personnel at the Clinical Research Unit. Dosing will be documented in source records and drug accountability records, and participants will be monitored according to the protocol-defined schedule.
