Placebo

Drug

Placebo will be administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection

Primary outcomes

  1. Number and percentage of subjects with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous injections of CUG252 in healthy subjects.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics profile of CUG252 (AUC)

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To assess the Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC)

  2. Pharmacokinetics profile of CUG252 (Cmax)

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To assess the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

  3. Pharmacokinetics profile of CUG252 (Tmax)

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To assess the time of maximum concentration (Tmax)

  4. Pharmacokinetics profile of CUG252 (t1/2)

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To assess the half-life (t1/2)

  5. Immunogenicity of CUG252

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To measure the serum concentration of antibodies against CUG252

  6. Change in the number and percentages of immune cells

    Time frame: Up to 10 weeks

    To assess the effect of CUG252 on immuno-pharmacodynamic endpoints.
