dose level #1
Starting dose, 0.05 ug/kg
MTS105
MTS105 is a combination of mRNA, which encodes a therapeutic protein, and its delivery vehicle, a lipid nanoparticle (LNP). The starting dose is estimated based on the Minimal Anticipated Biological Effect Level (MABEL) derived from non-clinical studies.
A starting dose of 0.05 μg/kg was proposed for this study; following dose strength for escalation are: 0.5 μg/kg, 3.0 μg/kg, 15 μg/kg, 30 μg/kg, 45 μg/kg.
