Healthy Adult
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase Id, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, bridging study conducted at a single Phase I clinical research unit in Australia. The study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of XKH001 following repeated subcutaneous administration in healthy adult Caucasian participants, and to provide an ethnic-bridging pharmacokinetic comparison with the prior Phase I dataset in Chinese participants, required for XKH001's global development programme.
Detailed description
The study will consist of two cohorts of healthy adult Caucasian participants. Cohort 1 will receive XKH001 300 mg subcutaneously once every 4 weeks (Q4W) on Day 1, Day 29, and Day 57... Cohort 2 will receive XKH001 600 mg subcutaneously Q4W on Day 1, Day 29, and Day 57. Dosing will be initiated sequentially, with Cohort 1 (300 mg) dosed first, followed by Cohort 2 (600 mg). Dosing in Cohort 2 will not commence earlier than 21 days after the first participant in Cohort 1 receives the first dose and may proceed only following joint review of the available Cohort 1 safety data and unanimous agreement by the Sponsor's medical representative, the Medical Monitor, and the Principal Investigator A total of 16 healthy adult Caucasian participants will be enrolled in the study, with 8 participants per cohort. Within each cohort, participants will be randomised in a 3:1 ratio (6 active drug XKH001; 2 placebo) in a double-blind manner. Randomisation will be performed using a cohort-specific block randomisation schedule to maintain allocation concealment and treatment balance within each cohort. Enrolment will not be stratified by sex; however, at least 3 female participants will be enrolled in each cohort to ensure adequate female representation and to ensure that at least 1 female participant receives the investigational drug.
Interventions
XKH001, developed by Zhejiang Kanova Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., is a recombinant anti-IL-25 humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) composed of two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. Each light chain consists of 215 amino acids, and each heavy chain consists of 455 amino acids, for a total of 1340 amino acids.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Healthy participants who voluntarily provide written informed consent and can comply with all study procedures according to the protocol. 2. Male or female participants of Caucasian ethnicity(both biological parents and all four grandparents of Caucasian origin), 18-65 years of age (inclusive). 3. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0-32.0 kg/m² (inclusive). 4. Vital signs, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, and 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) within normal limits or considered not clinically significant by the investigator, with QTcF ≤450 ms. 5.

Participants must meet the sex- and reproductive-status-specific contraception and gamete-donation requirements specified in Appendix 2. Where contraception is required, the participant must agree to use the protocol-specified established effective contraception from the time of signing the informed consent form until 7 months after the last dose of study drug.
Exclusion criteria

History of allergy to the investigational drug, any formulation component, or protein-based drugs. 10. Alcohol consumption \>14 units/week within 6 weeks prior to screening, or alcohol-containing products within 1 day before dosing (1 unit = 8 g or 10 mL of pure alcohol). 11. Drug abuse or illicit substance use within 5 years, or positive urine drug screen(A positive cotinine result alone is not exclusionary). 12.
