Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of SLN124 in healthy volunteers.
Detailed Description
This first-in-human (FIH) study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SLN124 after single ascending s.c. doses in healthy male and female subjects.
Up to 3 cohorts of 24 healthy volunteers will be enrolled. Each subject will receive a single dose of SLN124 or placebo given by subcutaneous (s.c) injection.
