A Safety and Tolerability Study of RJX Drug Product in Healthy Participants

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.

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.
