Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This clinical trial is a Phase I, first-in-human. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of BGB149 after single IV doses in healthy male and female subjects. Multiple dose levels will be explored.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of treatment-emergent clinical adverse events (AE) following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
Number of healthy volunteers experiencing adverse events (AE) AE categorized by grading for severity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 5.0).
- Frequency of treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
Number of healthy volunteers experiencing clinically significant abnormalities of clinical laboratory tests (hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry and urinalysis); categorized by grading for severity according to the CTCAE version 5.0.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pharmacokinetic Parameters: BGB149 Cmax following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
Cmax: measured maximum BGB149 concentration, determined directly from the concentration-time profile.

Tmax: Time of maximum BGB149 concentration determined directly from the concentration-time profile.
- Pharmacokinetic Parameters: BGB149 AUC(0-last), following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [up to 85 days]
Area under the concentration-time curve from pre-dose (time 0) to the time of the last quantifiable concentration calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal rule.
- Pharmacokinetic Parameters: BGB149 AUC(0-infinity) following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
Area under the concentration-time curve from pre-dose (time 0) extrapolated to infinite time (AUClast + Clast/Lambda[z]) calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal rule.
- Pharmacokinetic Parameters: BGB149 terminal elimination rate constant λz, following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
λz: The terminal elimination rate constant determined by selection of at least three data points on the terminal phase of the concentration-time curve.
- Pharmacokinetic Parameters: BGB149 t½: Terminal elimination half-life, following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
t½: Terminal elimination half-life calculated as: ln2/λz
- Pharmacokinetic Parameters: BGB149 total body clearance (CL) following single intravenous (IV) administration of BGB149 or matched placebo [85 days]
CL: Total body clearance
- Immunogenicity indicators: anti-drug antibodies [ADA] [85 days]
Immunogenicity - Detection and titre of anti-drug antibodies [ADA], determined using a validated assay.
- Immunogenicity indicators: neutralizing antibodies [NAb] [85 days]
Immunogenicity - Detection and titre of neutralizing antibodies [NAb], determined using a validated assay (titres and NAb analyses performed when ADA screening is positive
- Pharmacodynamics: detection of soluble Axl protein in circulation [85 days]
PD - Concentration of soluble Axl measured in serum after dosing, determined using a validated assay.
