Overview
Brief Summary
Designed as a single center, two-part, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of RJX in healthy participants.
Detailed Description
Part 1 is designed as a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) escalation study with 6 cohorts. Participants will undertake a screening visit between Day -21 and Day -1 to determine eligibility in the study. Those participants that meet the eligibility criteria will be admitted to the study site on the day prior to dosing (Day -1). Participants will receive a single dose of investigational product via IV infusion on Day 1. The first cohort will include the initial dosing of a sentinel group. The remaining participants in Cohort 1 will be dosed if, in the opinion of the investigator or delegate, there are no significant safety concerns identified in the sentinel participants within the first 24 hours after administration of the dose. Participants will be confined to the study site from Day -1 to Day 2 (24 hours post dose) and then required to return to the study site on Day 5 for a final follow up visit. Safety and PK assessments will be performed at selected time points throughout the study. Part 2 is designed as a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) escalation study with 3 cohorts. The MAD arm of the study will commence in parallel with Cohort 6 of Part 1 following completion and review of safety and PK findings for Cohorts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in Part 1. Participants will undertake a screening visit between Day -21 and Day -1 to determine eligibility in the study. Those participants that meet the eligibility criteria will be admitted to the study site on the day prior to dosing (Day -1). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 1 of 3 proposed doses of investigational product via IV infusion every day for 7 days.Participants will be confined to the study site from Day -1 to Day 8 (24 hours post the final dose on Day 7) and then return to the study site on Day 12 for a final follow up visit. Safety and PK assessments will be performed at selected time points throughout the study.

Cohort 6 only - elderly participants with well controlled hypercholesterolemia on a stable dose of statin therapy or well controlled hypertension on a stable dose of antihypertensive medication(s), excluding diuretics, are allowed in Cohort 6 per the clinical judgment of the investigator.
- •Have impaired renal function (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate \<90 cc/min/1.73m2 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-Epi) creatinine equation at screening);
- •Have a hsCRP above 1.25 × upper limit of normal;
- •Have a clinically significant abnormality in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or prolongation of corrected QT interval by Fredericia (QTcF) \>440 ms in males and \>450 ms in females;
- •Have a supine systolic blood pressure (BP) greater than 140 mm Hg or a diastolic BP greater than 90 mm Hg. Up to 2 additional measurements may be undertaken after an appropriate resting interval at screening to confirm eligibility;
- •Are currently enrolled in a clinical trial involving an investigational product, or are concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study;
- •Have received an investigational product within the last 3 months;
- •Have suspected allergies to RJX, related compounds, or any components of the formulation, or history of significant atopy;
- •Regularly use known drugs of abuse and/or show positive findings on drug screening or Day -1;
