A Study to Evaluate Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ZB002 in Healthy Participants and Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Healthy Volunteers
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05638854
Lead Sponsor
Zenas BioPharma (USA), LLC
Brief Summary

This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of ZB002 in healthy participants and in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study consists of 2 parts. Part A: Single Ascending Dose (SAD), which will include only healthy volunteers. Part B: Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD), will commence after completion of the SAD study and will include RA participants.

Detailed Description

Part A (SAD): Up to approximately 48 healthy volunteers across 6 cohorts randomized to receive ZB002 or placebo as a single dose.

Part B (MAD): Up to approximately 24 participants with RA across 3 cohorts randomized to receive ZB002 or placebo as multiple doses.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Part A: Safety and Tolerability in HVsDay 1 through Day 120

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZB002 in HVs by assessing the number, severity and type of adverse events, including changes in laboratory safety test and electrocardiogram (ECG)

Part B: Safety and Tolerability of multiple doses of ZB002 in participants with RADay 1 through Day 176

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZB002 in participants with RA by assessing the number of participants with Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious TEAEs, and TEAE leading to discontinuation
