Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a first-in-human (FIH), multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled adaptive clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) of CITY-RBP4, following single-ascending doses and multiple doses, via subcutaneous (SC) administration.

Detailed Description

The study consists of 3 sequential parts:

  • Part A: Single-ascending doses in healthy volunteers
  • Part B: Single-ascending doses in participants with Stargardt Disease Type 1 (STGD1)
  • Part C: Multiple doses in participants with Stargardt Disease Type 1 (STGD1)
