Summary
ISIS 696844 is being developed as a treatment for an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study assesses multiple doses of ISIS 696844 in healthy men and women, to learn about: Levels of drug in the blood over time;Safety and side effects of the drug; Effects of the drug on specific cells and proteins in the body, which will give researchers an idea of how well the drug might work; Which dose levels of the drug may be best to use in future clinical trials. 30 healthy men and women will be divided into 2 equal dose groups, and will each receive a total of 8 doses of study drug (or matching placebo) over a 6 week period. The dose levels planned for the study are: Cohort A: 10 mg study drug or matching placebo; Cohort B: 20 mg study drug or matching placebo; Blood tests to measure drug levels and effects on specific proteins will be taken at certain times during the dosing period, and any changes in health will be recorded. Extra participants may be added to a dose level, or additional dose levels may be studied, depending on ongoing results.
