Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of SLN124 in patients with Thalassaemia or patients with Very Low- and Low-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome after single ascending s.c. doses and multiple doses in healthy male and female subjects. Up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with Thalassaemia and up to 7 cohorts of 56 patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome will be enrolled. Each subject will receive single or multiple doses of SLN124 or placebo given by subcutaneous (s.c) injection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [Day 84]

    safety and tolerability will be reported separately following single-dose administration.

  2. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events [Day 140]

    safety and tolerability will be reported separately following multi-dose administration.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Pharmacokinetic: peak plasma concentration (Cmax) [Day 84 and Day 140]

    Will be reported separately following single-dose and multiple-dose administration.

  2. Pharmacokinetic: area under the plasma concentration (AUC) [Day 84 and Day 140]

    Will be reported separately following single-dose and multiple-dose administration.

  3. Pharmacokinetic: apparent total clearance from plasma after s.c injection (CL/F) [Day 84 and Day 140]

    Will be reported separately following single-dose and multiple-dose administration.

  4. Pharmacodynamic biomarkers: Change in TSAT after s.c injection. [Day 84 and Day 140]

    safety and tolerability will be reported separately following single-dose and multiple-dose administration.

  5. Pharmacodynamic biomarkers: Change in hepcidin after s.c injection. [Day 84 and Day 140]
