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 dose-escalation first-in human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and immunogenicity of AK111 in healthy subjects following SC administration. The study will consist of cohorts of healthy subjects. Cohort 1, four unique subjects will be randomized to receive either active AK111 (N=3) or matching placebo (N=1). Cohorts 2, 3, 4 and 5, eight unique subjects will be randomized to receive either active AK111 (N=6) or matching placebo (N=2). Approximately 36 subjects will be treated in this study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Have the ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form (ICF), which must be obtained prior to initiation of study procedures.
2. Female or male between 18 and 55 years of age, inclusive, at screening.
3. Must have a calculated body mass index (BMI) 19 ≤ BMI ≤ 32(inclusive) at screening, and a total body weight ≥ 50 kg for male or ≥ 45 kg for female at screening.
4. Females of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test in serum at screening and a negative serum pregnancy test on Day -1, either be of non-child bearing potential, defined as being:

1. Postmenopausal (for at least 2 years before screening), verified by serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level \>40 mIU/mL at screening, or
2. Permanently sterilized (eg, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy), or
3. Congenitally sterile
5. Women of child-bearing potential must use one of the following methods of contraception, from screening until at least 120 days after dosing:

A highly effective method with a failure rate of less than 1%:
* Implant contraceptive (e.g. Jadelle)
* Intra-uterine device (IUD) containing either copper or levonorgestrel (e.g. Mirena)
* Male sterilization (vasectomy)
* Female sterilization (e.g. by bilateral tubal ligation ('tying tubes') or hysterectomy)

A method for which the failure rate is between 5% and 10% in real life use, in combination with a barrier method (male condom):
* Injectable contraceptive (e.g. Depo Provera)
* Oral Contraceptive Pill (combined hormonal pill or progestogen-only 'mini-pill')
* Vaginal contraceptive ring (e.g. NuvaRing) Please note that condoms alone are not highly effective methods of contraception. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control.
6. Nonsterilized male subjects who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use an effective method of contraception as listed above from Day 1 through 120 days after receipt of the last dose of study medication. It is strongly recommended for the female partner of a male subject to also us an effective method of contraception throughout this period.
7. Must, in the opinion of the Investigator, be in good general health based upon medical history, physical examination (including vital signs), 12-lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests must fall within the clinical laboratory's reference normal ranges unless the results have been determined by the Investigator to have no clinical significance).
8. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures as specified in the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects who are investigational site staff members or subjects who are Sponsor employees directly involved in the conduct of the study.
2. Are pregnant, nursing, or planning pregnancy within 120 days following the last dose of study medication (both men and women) while enrolled in the study.
3. Have previously participated in an investigational trial involving administration of any investigational compound within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the study dosing, or currently participating in another clinical study.
4. Have a planned surgical intervention for a pretreatment condition within the duration of the trial, including the follow up period.
5. Have used any biologic within the previous 12 months prior to the study dosing.
6. Use of any of the following, unless agreed as non-clinically relevant by the Investigator: Prescription medication within 4 weeks prior to the study dosing; Over-the-counter medication (excluding paracetamol) within 7 days prior to the study dosing. Paracetamol use must be limited to 2 g per day and no more than 3 days usage in the 4 weeks prior to the study dosing; Vitamin therapy or dietary supplements within 7 days prior to the study dosing and for the duration of the study; Herbal supplements within 4 weeks prior to the study dosing and for the duration of the study. Medications which are known CYP P450 isoenzyme substrates/inducers/inhibitors must be excluded within 4 weeks prior to study dosing and for the duration of the study.

14. Use of tobacco or nicotine containing products (including e-cigarettes) at any time within six months before screening and for the duration of the study.
15. Have poor venous access and are unable to donate blood.
16. Have donated blood within 90 days prior to the study dosing.

25. Blood pressure \>140 mmHg (systolic) or \> 90 mmHg (diastolic) at screening, following at least 5 minutes of supine rest. If blood pressure (BP) is \>140 mmHg (systolic) or \>90 mmHg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated two more times and the average of the three BP values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
26. Have had a live vaccination within 12 weeks prior to the study dosing, or intend to have a live vaccination during the course of the study, or have participated in a vaccine clinical trial within 12 weeks prior to the study dosing.
27. Have any psychiatric or serious or active medical illness which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with subject treatment, assessment, or compliance with the protocol. This would include renal, cardiac, hematological, hepatic, pulmonary (including chronic asthma), endocrine (eg, diabetes), central nervous, gastrointestinal (including but not limit to Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, an ulcer), vascular, metabolic (thyroid disorders, adrenal disease), or immunodeficiency disorders that are clinically significant or requiring treatment.
