IBI306 is a bio-innovative drug against proprotein convertase subtilisin 9 (PCSK-9) monoclonal antibody. Currently, cholesterol-lowering drugs with multiple mechanisms of action are on the market or under development. Among them, anti-PCSK-9 monoclonal antibodies have received widespread attention due to their good safety and efficacy. The results of existing preclinical studies show that IBI306 has a clear structure, good stability, and is not inferior to other drugs of its kind in terms of drug activity, animal pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) and safety.

This study is divided into two phases: the dose exploration phase (the first phase) and the confirmatory phase (the second phase). Each stage is divided into screening period, treatment period, and safety follow-up period. The first phase of this research is the randomized design of open labels. The second stage is an open, single-arm design.

The main purpose of the first phase of the study: to evaluate the tolerability and safety of multiple-dose repeated administration of IBI306 in the Chinese population with hypercholesterolemia, and to recommend the dose for the second phase. The main purpose of the second phase of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of IBI306 in the Chinese homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia population. Secondary research purpose: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of IBI306 in Chinese homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia population.

12. Active liver disease or liver function impairment is defined as the screening period determined by local laboratory analysis, aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase> 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
13. Creatine kinase (CK) ≥ 5 times of ULN during screening, confirmed by repeated measurements at least 1 week apart.
14. As judged by the investigator, there is a known active infection or major blood, kidney, metabolic, gastrointestinal or endocrine dysfunction.
15. Diagnosed deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 3 months before enrollment.
16. Except for those who have been sterilized or menopausal, female subjects with potential for pregnancy, if they are unwilling to inform their sexual partners to participate in the clinical study, and take effective measures during the use of the study drug and within 15 weeks after the last dose of the study drug Contraceptive measures. Male subjects are unwilling to inform their female sexual partners that they participate in the clinical study.
17. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding during the period of study medication or within 15 weeks after the last dose of study medication.
18. Suffered from malignant tumors in the past 5 years (except for non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast or stage 1 prostate cancer).
19. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C (HCV) antibodies or syphilis antibodies were positive at the time of screening.
20. The subject has been treated with a PCSK9 inhibitor or participated in other studies that inhibit PCSK9.
21. Known allergy to study drug and its ingredients.
22. Those who are judged by the investigator to be unsuitable to participate in the study (for example, alcohol or other drug abuse, inability or unwillingness to comply with the agreement, or mental illness).
23. Currently participating in another medical device or drug research, or the previous medical device or drug clinical research has ended, but the last time to receive other research drugs is within 30 days of screening.
24. In any other circumstances, the investigator or the sponsor after discussing it may impair the subject's ability or safety to give written informed consent and/or comply with all necessary research procedures.
