a first in humantrial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of pf-06755347

Conditions: Healthy; Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia; Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating

Summary: this phase 1 single ascending dose study will provide a first in human assessment of safety and tolerability of pf-06755347 in healthy adult males as well as adult males and females with immune thrombocytopenia (itp). pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will also be evaluated.
