About this study

This is a first-in-human Phase 1 study designed to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of intravenously administered AL001 in Healthy Volunteers and FTD-GRN mutation carriers.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • BMI 18.0-35.0 kg/m2
  • 45-120 kg, inclusive
  • At screening, females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, or of nonchildbearing potential (either surgically sterilized or physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, or at least 1-year postmenopausal (amenorrhoea duration of 12 consecutive months); nonpregnancy will be confirmed for all females by a pregnancy test conducted at screening, (each) admission, and at follow-up.
  • Female participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception from screening until 90 days after the follow-up visit.
  • In good physical health on the basis of no clinically significant findings from medical history, physical examination (PE), laboratory tests, 12 lead ECG, and vital signs, as judged by the Investigator.
  • Willingness and able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgement.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known history of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric, human, or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins.
  • Positive drug or alcohol at screening and prior to first dose
  • History of alcohol abuse or substance abuse

Treatment and study plan

AL001

Biological

Active dose of AL001

Placebo

Other

Saline solution administered as a single infusion as palcebo.

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of safety and tolerability of AL001 measured by number of subjects with adverse events and Dose Limiting Adverse Event (DLAEs)

    Time frame: 85 days

    Incidence of adverse events and dose limiting Adverse Events during the DLAE observation period and/or study treatment periods.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of AL001

    Time frame: 85 days

    Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of AL001 at specified time points

  2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) for AL001

    Time frame: 85 days

    Evaluate Cmax for serum and CSF concentration of AL001 at specified time points

  3. Area under the curve concentration (AUC) for AL001

    Time frame: 85 days

    Evaluate AUC for serum and CSF concentration of AL001 at specified time points
