First in Human Study of an Anti-Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) Monoclonal Antibody (NI-0101) in Adult Healthy Volunteers

A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics-guided, Phase I Study in Healthy Volunteers Given Escalating, Single Intravenous Doses of NI-0101 in the Absence and Then in the Presence of a Systemic Lipopolysaccharide Challenge.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and distribution and elimination of a novel therapeutic drug when administered to Healthy Volunteers. In addition its effects on some inflammatory parameters will be measured in presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide stimulation.
