Brief summary
In this clinical study, the safety and tolerability of GNbAC1 as a treatment for MS patients will be evaluated in healthy male volunteers.
Detailed description
The monoclonal antibody, GNbAC1, targets the envelope protein (Env) of the human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), also called multiple sclerosis associated retrovirus (MSRV), which is considered as a critical factor in the development of multiple sclerosis. This study will assess the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of GNbAC1 following single ascending doses (6, 18, and 36 mg/kg) administered via IV infusion.
Interventions
Single dose of IMP, IV infusion
