Clinical Trial Summary

Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease and no systemic treatment or standard of care currently exists for patients with NS. DS-2325a, a specific and potent inhibitor of kallikrein 5, is expected to treat NS by replacing a defective gene.

Description:

This first-in-human study for DS-2325a will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of DS-2325a in healthy participants. DS-2325a will be evaluated after both subcutaneous (SC) injections and intravenous (IV) infusions, as it may have to be given intravenously to young patients and as loading dose.
