Clinical Trial Summary

This will be the first-in-human study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending doses of DS-7011a in healthy participants.

Description:

This study will assess the safety, PK, and PD properties of single ascending intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) doses of DS-7011a in healthy participants. This study will be conducted in 3 stages: - Stage 1 - single ascending IV dose cohorts of DS-7011a (ie, up to 6 dose levels will be assessed starting at 0.1 mg/kg); - Stage 2 - single ascending SC cohorts of DS-7011a (ie, up to 3 dose levels centered around the estimated therapeutic dose confirmed in Stage 1 will be assessed); and - Stage 3 - a single IV cohort of DS-7011a in healthy participants of Japanese ethnicity (ie, 1 dose level at the estimated therapeutic dose as confirmed in Stage 1 will be assessed).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Following Administration with DS-7011a in Healthy Participants	Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as new adverse events (AEs) that occur after the dose of study drug or as AEs that were present prior to the dose of study drug but which worsened in severity after the start of study drug.	Screening (Day -28 to Day -7) up to Day 57 post-dose
Secondary	Pharmacokinetic Parameter Area Under the Concentration Curve Following Administration of DS-7011a in Healthy Participants	Area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to time t (AUCt), area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to infinity (AUCinf), and the percentage of AUCinf based on extrapolation (AUCextrap) will be calculated using noncompartmental methods.	Stage 1 and 3: Pre-dose, end of infusion (EOI), and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-EOI, Days 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 57; Stage 2: Pre-dose, and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose, Days 9-12, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 57
Secondary	Pharmacokinetic Parameter Maximum Concentration Following Administration of DS-7011a in Healthy Participants	Maximum concentration (Cmax) will be calculated using noncompartmental methods.	Stage 1 and 3: Pre-dose, end of infusion (EOI), and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 hours post-EOI, Days 8, 11, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 57; Stage 2: Pre-dose, and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168 hours post-dose, Days 9-12, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 57
