February 19, 2026 updated by: Climb Bio, Inc.

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Ascending-Dose (SAD) and Multiple-Ascending-Dose (MAD) Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Subcutaneous Injection(s) of CLYM116 in Normal Healthy Volunteers

This Phase 1, first-in-human study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CLYM116 in healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description

CLYM116 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL). This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of CLYM116 in adult normal healthy volunteers (NHVs). The study will enroll up to 48 subjects, across up to five cohorts.
