A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AK001

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AK001 in Subjects With Atopic Disease

This first-in-human study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of single doses of AK001 across a range of potentially active doses. Early signals of pharmacodynamic activity will also be evaluated.

AK001 is a monoclonal antibody which may be useful in the treatment of patients with severe allergic diseases.
