Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics and the potential immunological reaction of single intravenous recombinant human thymosin β4（NL005）or placebo 0.05, 0.25, 0.5, 2, 5, 12.5, 25μg/kg in Chinese healthy volunteers. 54 volunteers will be randomized to receive NL005 or placebo for 7 cohorts,administered iv by iv push on Day 1.

Description:

This study is a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled, investigation to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and the potential immunological reaction of single of NL005 administered intravenously to healthy volunteers.

In Phase 1A, Seven (7) cohorts of subjects (first two cohorts 2 subjects respectively, 10 subjects per cohort for next 5 cohorts) will administered one dose of NL005 or placebo in a 4:1 ratio. Dosing start at 0.05μg/kg and advance to 0.25, 0.5, 2, 5, 12.5, 25μg/kg.

NL005 or placebo administered as a single dose on Day 1. Safety parameters recorded on Study Days 1, 2, 5, 14, and 28. Evaluation of adverse events performed throughout the study. Pharmacokinetic samples obtained on Study Day 1. Blood samples collected for serum antibody determinations at Screening , Days 14 and 28.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) .	Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by comprehensive evaluation of drug safety by adverse event observation, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory examination, electrocardiogram, etc. In this study, DLT was defined as liver, kidney, heart and mental nervous system toxicity of level 2 or above or blood system toxicity of level 3 or above and other systemic adverse events occurred within 14 days after drug administration, and the adverse events were judged to be related to the experimental drug use.If more than 3 (including 3) DLT cases are present in any dose group, the test should be terminated. The previous dose of this dose is considered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).	Day1
Primary	Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03.	Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by comprehensive evaluation of drug safety by adverse event observation, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory examination, electrocardiogram, etc. All adverse events were determined according to NCI CTCAE4.03.CTCAE4.03 was classified into grades 1 to 5, in which grade 1 was mild adverse event and grade 5 was death due to adverse event.	Day1
Primary	The Cmax of single ascending doses of rh-Tß4.
