“We look forward to further exploring how our first-in-class dual ICOS/CD28 antagonist will potentially improve outcomes of patients suffering from debilitating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as GvHD and psoriatic arthritis.”

The Phase I trial will be conducted in two parts and will enrol around 104 healthy volunteers at a single clinical site in Australia.

The first part of the trial will see subjects administered with a single dose of ALPN-101 or placebo, while the second part will involve four doses.

Alpine Immune expects to complete the trial by November this year.
