A Phase 1a Study of PMN310 In Healthy Volunteers

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of intravenous PMN310 in healthy adult volunteers.

Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either a single infusion of PMN310 or placebo. After randomization on Day 1, study drug will be administered followed by the collection of safety, tolerability, and PK data.

All dose cohorts will have lumbar punctures (LPs) for PK analysis performed on Day 3 and Day 29. Primary PK and CSF data will be obtained from Day 1 to Day 29. Safety and tolerability will be collected at all visits. The study is an 85-day study with one optional follow up assessment at Day 120.
