YN001 in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Coronary Atherosclerosis

A Phase I/IIa Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, PK, and Preliminary Efficacy of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of YN001 in Healthy Subjects and Multiple Ascending Doses of YN001 in Patient With Coronary Atherosclerosis

This study consists of two parts. The SAD and MAD of part I are a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose study in healthy adult subjects. The MAD expansion cohort of part I is single arm and multipal ascending dose in heallthy subjects. Part II (phase Ib/IIa) is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open label, multiple ascending dose study in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.
