Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of SIM0278 in healthy subjects. The study will be conducted in 2 parts. Part 1 is single ascending dose study. Part 2 is multiple ascending dose study.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: SIM0278 Injection/Placebo
Phase 1

Detailed Description

The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics(PK) after a single or multiple administration of SIM0278 or placebo via subcutaneous injection in healthy subjects (male or female) where PK, pharmacodynamics (PD) and biomarkers will be assessed. Approximately 68 subjects (up to 84) will be enrolled in the whole study. The ratio of active drug to placebo in each dose level will be 3:1. In part1, approximately 44 subjects (up to 52) will be enrolled for the single dose escalation. Six dose levels are planned in part 1. In part2, approximately 24 (up to 32) subjects will be enrolled for the multiple dose escalation. Three dose levels are planned in part 2.
