NCT ID NCT07662148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is the first time the experimental drug BIIB144 is given to humans. Researchers want to see if a single dose is safe and how the body handles it. About 48 healthy adults will receive either BIIB144 or a placebo by IV. The results will help decide if and how to test the drug in people with certain diseases.
