Brief Summary

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of elarekibep after single and multiple doses given twice daily (BID) by inhalation or intravenous (IV) in healthy Japanese subjects compared with placebo.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I, randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, single-centre study. This study comprises upto a total of 42 subjects.

• A screening period of maximum 28 days.
• Treatment period: Part A: Study treatment Day 1; Part B: Study treatment Days 1 to 6 and a single inhaled dose on Day 7.
• A safety follow-up call will be conducted 7 (± 1) days after elarekibep or placebo administration.
• A safety follow-up visit will be conducted 30 (± 2) days after elarekibep or placebo administration in each cohort.
