Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to investigate single and multiple intravenous infusions of improved cell-permeable nuclear import inhibitor (iCP NI) in healthy subjects.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Improved cell-permeable nuclear import inhibitor (iCP-NI) is a synthetically manufactured, cell-penetrating peptide which has been developed by fusion of advanced macromolecule transduction domain of hydrophobic cell-permeable peptide and nuclear factor kappa-light- chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB)-derived nuclear localization sequence.

The production and secretion of cytokines from innate immune cells are critical responses to inflammation and infection in the body.

iCP-NI is a binding competitor that inhibits the interaction of nuclear transfer material proteins such as IATF (NF-BB, STAT, AP-1, NFAT) and importin alpha5, inhibiting the nuclear transport of IATF to prevent inflammatory cytokine transcription.

This study is the first-human clinical trial for iCP-NI which is intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of iCP-NI.
