Safety Study of Ibalizumab Subcutaneous Injection in Healthy Volunteers
Summary
The is a blinded safety study of ibalizumab given by subcutaneous injection in sequentially increasing dose-groups of at-risk, HIV-negative, healthy volunteers. The study involves the administration of four total injections of ibalizumab or matching placebo in each volunteer, given once every week, at one of three dose levels. Drug administration begins at the lowest dose. After 4 of 8 volunteers in the first group have received all study drug injections and have completed 6 additional weeks of follow-up, an independent safety monitoring group will review available data before approving initiation of the next higher dose-group. This process will be repeated prior to initiation of the 3rd and highest dose-group. All volunteers will participate in 2 separate intensive blood sampling periods of 7 days each to test drug levels.
