Study summary

To evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, including Factor XI activity and antigen levels, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and international normalized ratio of single and multiple doses of Factor XI antisense inhibitor administered subcutaneously to healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

This will be a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study conducted at a single center. The study consists of 4 escalating single-dose cohorts (n = 8 per cohort, randomized 3 IONIS FXI-LRx active:1 placebo), 3 escalating multiple-dose cohorts with weekly Study Drug (IONIS FXI-LRx or placebo) administration for 8 healthy volunteers per cohort, randomized 3 active:1 placebo, and 1 multiple-dose cohort of 10 healthy volunteers randomized 3 active:2 placebo with Study Drug administration every 4 weeks.

Approximately 66 healthy volunteers are planned to be enrolled in this study. Additional healthy volunteers may be added to better assess the safety, tolerability or pharmacokinetic profile of IONIS FXI-LRx to meet study objectives.
