Phase Ib Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of VSA012 Injection in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

The complement system is an important component of the innate immune system. Abnormal activation, inadequate regulation and control of the complement system, as well as impaired and dysfunctional effector functions, underlie complement mediated diseases including PNH. VSA012 targeting complement system has the potential to treat a variety of diseases associated with abnormal activation of the complement system.The purpose of VSA012-1002 is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of VSA012 Injection in subjects with PNH.
