Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of GX-I7 in healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The subjects who are adequately eligible to attend this clinical trial via screening will be hospitalized one day prior to the injection (Day -1), administered a single dose of GX-I7 solution for subcutaneous injection, and then discharged on Day 3. After completing all scheduled tests at the visit 8 (Day 28), safety-related data of each cohort will be evaluated by Independent Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC). Dose escalation will proceed under the principal investigator, medical monitor, and the sponsor's mutual approval, referring to SMC's evaluation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1

GX-I7 SC 20㎍/㎏ (8 subjects) / Placebo (2 subjects)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GX-I7

Intervention Type DRUG

Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is T cell growth factor that can be used for treating lymphopenia patients. GX-I7 is a protein drug recombining human IL-7 and hybrid Fc (hyFc). HyFc made by Genexine is composed of hinge-CH2 region of Immunoglobulin D (IgD) and CH2-CH3 region of Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4). The recombined region is not exposed and each region's characteristics can reduce immunogenicity and improve the efficacy of drug. Consequently, it will be able to treat the patients with lymphopenia in effective ways.

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

This is the placebo of GX-I7 described above.

Cohort 2

GX-I7 SC 60㎍/㎏ (8 subjects) / Placebo (2 subjects)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
