Study of ARO-CFB in Adult Healthy Volunteers

May 19, 2026 updated by: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 1/2a Dose-Escalating Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Single and Multiple Doses of ARO-CFB in Adult Healthy Volunteers and Adult Patients With Complement-Mediated Kidney Disease

The purpose of AROCFB-1001 is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ARO-CFB Injection in adult healthy volunteers (HVs). HVs will receive either one or two doses of ARO-CFB or placebo.
