New injection aims to stop cancer wasting

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants who have signed the informed consent form (ICF) prior to the study, fully understand the content, procedures, and possible adverse reactions of the study, and are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures. 2. Male and female participants aged 18-55 years (inclusive), at the time of signing the ICF. 3. Body weight ≥ 50 kg for males and ≥ 45 kg for females, with a body mass index (BMI = weight (kg)/height 2 (m) 2) of 18.5-26 kg/m2 (inclusive). 4. Male and female participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, Vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and laboratory tests. 5. Participants (including their partners) who have no plan to become pregnant and voluntarily use effective contraception from screening to 6 months after the last dose. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurological, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at the time of dosing). 2. History of HIV infection, syphilis, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C; positive testing for HIV, syphilis, HBsAg, or HCVAb. 3. History of allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any therapeutic or diagnostic monoclonal antibody or molecules made of components of monoclonal antibodies. 4. History of recurrent infections or active infections. 5. Other medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior, or other conditions that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study. 6. Smoking more than five cigarettes per day on average, or habitually used nicotine containing products, or unable to refrain from smoking during the trial. 7. Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs and dietary and herbal supplements within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study intervention. 8. Exposure to live vaccines within 28 days of screening. 9. Previous administration with an investigational drug within 30 days or marketed or investigational monoclonal antibodies within 3 months or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of study intervention used in this study (whichever is longer). 10. History of drug abuse within the past 5 years or use of drugs in the 3 months prior to screening, or a positive urine drug test at screening. 11. Screening BP ≥140 mm Hg (systolic) or ≥90 mm Hg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of rest. If BP is ≥140 mm Hg (systolic) or ≥90 mm Hg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 BP values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility. 12. Screening 12-lead ECG that demonstrates clinically relevant abnormalities that may affect participant safety or interpretation of study results (eg, baseline QTcF interval \>450 msec, or QRS interval \>120 msec). If QTcF exceeds 450 msec, or QRS exceeds 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTcF or QRS values should be used to determine the participant's eligibility. 13. Participants with ANY of the following abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests at screening, as assessed by the study-specific laboratory and confirmed by a single repeat test, if deemed necessary: * AST or ALT level ≥1.5 × ULN, * Total bilirubin level ≥1.5 × ULN; participants with a history of Gilbert's syndrome may have direct bilirubin measured and would be eligible for this study provided the direct bilirubin level is ≤ ULN. 14. History of alcohol abuse or binge drinking and/or any other illicit drug use or dependence within 3 months of Screening. As a general rule, alcohol intake should not exceed 14 units per week (1 unit = 360 mL beer, 45 mL of 40% spirit or 150 mL of wine). 15. Blood donation (excluding plasma donations) of approximately 400 mL or more within 60 days prior to dosing. 16. Participants who, in the judgment of the investigator, are not suitable for participation in the study. 17. Skin scar, rash, or ulceration at the injection site (abdomen). 18. History of vasovagal syncope or needle phobia, and inability to tolerate venous indwelling catheter blood collection. 19. Participants who plan to donate sperm or oocytes within 6 months after administration of the investigational drug.
