A Study of a Single Dose of ALXN1210 in Healthy Participants

A Phase 1, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of a Single Dose of ALXN1210 Administered Intravenously to Healthy Subjects

This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single dose of ALXN1210 in healthy participants, as assessed by electrocardiograms, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory analysis, and assessment of adverse events (AEs).

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: ALXN1210; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

The participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio (4 active and 2 placebo) to receive a single dose of ALXN1210 or placebo in the 200-milligram (mg) dose cohort and in a 3:1 ratio (6 active and 2 placebo) to receive a single dose of ALXN1210 or placebo in the 400-mg dose cohort, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion. A 150-day observation period was performed for safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic assessments after study drug administration. Antidrug antibody (ADA) levels were monitored in study participants for the duration of the 150-day follow-up period.

• Clinical diagnosis of any autoimmune or rheumatologic disease (for example, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis) or other condition or medical history that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the participant's participation in the study, poses an added risk for the participant, or confounds the assessment of the participant or outcome of the study.
• History of latent or active TB or exposure to endemic areas within 8 weeks prior to the TB test performed at screening.
• Immunization with a live attenuated vaccine 1 month prior to dosing or planned vaccination during the course of the study (except for the vaccination planned by the study protocol).
