Study of TAVO103A in Healthy Volunteers

This is a Phase 1, single ascending dose study designed to investigate TAVO103A, administered as an IV infusion up to 60 minutes in length to healthy adult subjects. This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of TAVO103A.

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD), single site study. There will be up to 5 SAD cohorts with 6 subjects enrolled into each. Subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 2:1 to receive TAVO103A or placebo. Subjects will be evaluated for safety throughout the study up through day 196.
