Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ION904.
Detailed description
This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending dose escalation study of ION904 in up to 72 participants. Following a Screening Period of up to 28 days, eligible healthy participants will be randomized to treatment and receive a single, subcutaneous (SC) dose of the assigned study drug. Participants will be followed for up to 13 weeks after dosing.
Interventions
DRUGION904
ION904 will be administered by SC injection.
DRUGPlacebo
Placebo (0.9% sterile saline) will be administered by SC injection.
