Healthy Volunteer
Conditions
Brief summary
This Phase 1 study of DISC-0974 will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and Pharmacodynamics (PD) of DISC-0974 in adult healthy volunteers.
Detailed description
Enrolled participants in this study will receive a single dose of DISC-0974 or a placebo. Samples will be collected to measure how DISC-0974 is processed by the body and how the body responds when exposed to DISC-0974. Participants will receive a single study drug dose on Day 1; and follow-up for 10 weeks (71 days). If an undetectable DISC-0974 blood concentration is observed, the duration of follow-up will be shortened to 7 days thereafter, as feasible.
Interventions
DISC-0974 is administered (IV infusion or Subcutaneous Injection) as a single dose
Placebo is administered (IV infusion or Subcutaneous Injection) as a single dose

Exclusion criteria
* History of anemia or hematologic disorder within 1 year of Screening * History of splenectomy * Diagnosis or first-degree relative with a diagnosis of hemochromatosis * History of diabetes, cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, or malabsorptive disease * Vegan or iron-deficient diet within 3 months of Screening * Blood transfusion within 1 year of Screening * Whole blood donation within 6 months of Screening or plasma donation within 30 days of Screening. * A history of alcohol or illicit drug use disorder within 3 years of Screening, as assessed by the Investigator * Use of any tobacco- and/or nicotine-containing containing products, including e-cigarettes, vaping products, and nicotine replacement products, within 3 months of Screening * Use of multivitamin or iron supplements within 30 days prior to Screening * ALT or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level above the normal range at Screening * Positive urine pregnancy test at Screening or Baseline (Day -1). * Positive serologic test for Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at Screening. * Positive urine screen for drugs of abuse or alcohol test on admission to the study center * Use of any systemic prescription medication within 14 days of Screening, non-iron containing dietary supplements, or non-prescription drugs within 7 days of dosing. * History of a major surgical procedure within 60 days of Screening or planned surgical procedure within 90 days of dosing. * A history or known allergic reaction to any investigational product excipients or history of anaphylaxis to any food or drug. * History or presence or any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the ability to provide informed consent or comply with study instructions.
