Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and proportion of volunteers with AEs including TEAEs and SAEs

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 57

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    AUC0-168hr: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to 168 hours

  2. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    AUC0-inf: Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (extrapolated)

  3. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    AUC0-last: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to the last observed concentrations

  4. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    Cmax: Maximal observed concentration

  5. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    Tmax: Time when the maximal concentration is observed

  6. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    Residual area: Percentage of AUC0-inf due to extrapolation from the time of the last observed concentration to infinity, calculated as [1 (AUC0 last/AUC0-inf)] x 100

  7. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    T½ el: Terminal elimination half-life

  8. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    Kel: Terminal elimination rate constant

  9. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    Cl/F: Apparent clearance

  10. Plasma PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 57

    Vz/F: Apparent volume of distribution

  11. Urine PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 8

    Ae0-168hr: Cumulative urinary excretion from time zero to 168 hours, calculated as the sum of the amounts excreted over each collection interval

  12. Urine PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 8

    Rmax: Maximal rate of urinary excretion, calculated by dividing the amount of drug excreted in each collection interval by the time over which it was collected

  13. Urine PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 8

    TRmax: Time of maximal urinary excretion, calculated as the midpoint of the collection interval during which Rmax occurred

  14. Urine PK of AJ302-IM

    Time frame: Pre-dose to Day 8

    ClR: Renal clearance, calculated as Ae0-168hr /AUC0-168hr
