A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ABBV-243 in Healthy Adults.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Single Ascending Doses (SAD) of ABBV-243 in Healthy Adult Subjects and a Single Dose in Healthy Asian Adult Subjects

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of either single ascending intravenous (IV) doses of ABBV-243 or single ascending subcutaneous (SC) doses of ABBV-243 in healthy adult participants (Part 1), and a single intravenous (IV) dose in healthy Asian adult volunteers (Part 2

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
