Brief summary
This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RLYB116 (with an improved impurity profile) following repeated administration of RLYB116 in healthy participants.
Interventions
RLYB116 is a small protein composed of an Affibody® Z-domain that binds with high affinity to C5, inhibiting terminal complement activation, and an albumin binding domain (ABD) that extends the effective plasma half-life of the protein by targeting serum albumin.
