Ph1, Randomized, Double-Blind and Controlled, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of JST-010 in Healthy Adults

Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose and Dose Expansion Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of a Monoclonal Antibody, JST-010, in Healthy Adults

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a single dose of the study drug, JST-010, is safe and tolerable when administered by injection into the arm or thigh muscle of healthy men and women aged 18 to 55. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is a single injection of JST-010 safe? * What is the concentration of the JST-01 in the blood over time? * Do antibodies to JST-010 develop following a dose of JST-010? Researchers will compare JST-010 to Placebo to see if there are any differences in the safety and tolerability of a single dose at different dose levels. Participants will be confined to the clinic for the first 3 days. They will receive an injection on the second day, and then return for 9 more visits over the period of 1 year for: * Physical exam with vital signs * Electro-cardiogram (ECG) * Bood collection for clinical labs and research samples * Urine sample * Assessment of potential adverse effects and medications taken

  • Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1/-2) antibody result by history or at Screening
  • Positive hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antigen, or hepatitis C antibody
  • Positive urine drug test or cotinine (indicating active current smoking) at Screening or Day -1, positive alcohol breath test at Screening or on Day -1, or suspected/known drug abuse and/or alcohol use disorder
  • Smoking or has used nicotine or nicotine-containing products (eg, snuff, nicotine patch, nicotine chewing gum, mock cigarettes, or inhalers) within 3 months before study drug dosing
  • Dosing in any clinical research study evaluating another investigational drug or therapy within 30 days or at least 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of receiving the investigational drug prior to Screening
  • Progressive, unstable, or uncontrolled medical conditions that have required medical attention or changes to medication for medical reasons within 90 days prior to consent
  • History of allergic reactions or hypersensitivity reactions to other therapeutic antibodies or immunoglobulins
  • Receipt of any mAbs in the 12 months prior to Screening
  • High blood pressure
  • History of hyperprolinemia
  • Women who are either pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Vulnerable individuals (eg, military recruits, persons in compulsory detention, those with limited legal capacity)
  • Receipt of immunoglobulins or any blood products within 90 days prior to consent or planned receipt during the study period
  • Donation or loss of \>500 mL of blood within 30 days or plasma within 7 days of Day 1; any planned donation of blood or plasma during the study period
  • History of any malignant neoplasm within the last 5 years, with the exception of adequately treated localized or in situ non-melanoma carcinoma of the skin or the cervix
  • Strenuous activity or contact sports within 48 hours before study drug dosing and through Day 8
