Study of SLN12140 in Healthy Adult Participants

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of SLN12140 in healthy participants with single subcutaneous/intravenous dose escalation and multiple subcutaneous administrations

This study will include up to 7 different dosing cohorts, with each cohort consisting of 2 groups (SLN12140 group, placebo group). Participants will be randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to each of these 2 groups, respectively, within all 7 cohorts, to receive either a single or multiple doses of ALXN1820 SC, a single dose of ALXN1820 IV, or a single or multiple doses of placebo.

The study will be conducted in healthy adult participants .
