Elevated Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled single and multiple dose escalation study with SC doses of SNK-396 in participants with elevated LDL-C. The study will be divided into two parts: * SAD cohorts * MAD cohorts
Detailed description
The SAD part will consist of up to 8 cohorts of eligible participants with elevated LDL-C as defined as serum LDL levels between 2.6 - 4.9 mmol/L (inclusive) The MAD part will consist of up to 8 cohorts of eligible participants with elevated LDL-C as defined as serum LDL levels between 2.6 - 4.9 mmol/L (inclusive)
Interventions
A single dose of SNK-396 within the dose range of 25 to 800 mg, or matching placebo.
Multiple doses of SNK-396 within the dose range of from 25 to 800 mg, or matching placebo.

Intervention model description
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single and multiple dose escalation study with SC doses of SNK-396 in participants with elevated LDL-C. The study will be divided into two parts: * SAD cohorts; * MAD cohorts. The two parts will be completed sequentially. The MAD part may be initiated when safety, tolerability, and PK data are known and deemed acceptable for single doses of at least the 5 planned dose levels of the SAD cohorts.
