During the trial, the enrolled subjects will receive single and multiple-ascending doses of VIB9600 by intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection, or placebo.
The primary objective of the trial is safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of VIB9600 over a period of 113 days.
The trial’s secondary objectives include pharmacokinetics (PK) of VIB9600 following single and multiple-dose administration, and immunogenicity of VIB9600 following single and multiple-dose administration as measured by the presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to VIB9600.
