Inflammation, Rheumatoid Arthritis
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this dose-escalating trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of single and repeated doses of NNC141-0100 in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Interventions
Single dose administered subcutaneously (under the skin), up to six dose levels. Progression to next dose will be based on safety evaluation. Initiation of the MD s.c. phase will depend on the results from the SD i.v. cohorts as well as the first two dose cohorts of the SD s.c. part
Single dose administered subcutaneously (under the skin) as a comparator at all dose levels
