Treatment and study plan

Placebo

Drug

Placebo is administered single dose or multiple dose by IV or SC injection

KK4277

Drug

KK4277 is administered single dose or multiple dose by IV or SC injection

Primary outcomes

  2. Time to the maximum concentration

    Time frame: Part 1 : Day 1 to Day 113, Part 2 : Day 1 to Day 169

  3. The maximum concentration

    Time frame: Part 1 : Day 1 to Day 113, Part 2 : Day 1 to Day 169
