Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy adults aged 18–65 who are male or females of nonchildbearing potential, weigh 50–120 kg with BMI 18–30.5, have IgG ≥6.0 g/L, and have no immunosuppressive conditions or prior exposure to ARGX-124/ARGX-213/efgartigimod are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with immunosuppressive diseases, low IgG, females of childbearing potential, those with significant medical or psychiatric conditions, or those expecting direct therapeutic benefit should not expect personal medical benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 interventional trial gives ARGX-124 or placebo to healthy volunteers to measure safety, drug concentrations in blood over time, and immune responses. Participants will undergo screening, receive study infusions, and have repeated blood draws and safety monitoring. Eligible volunteers are males or females of nonchildbearing potential aged 18–65 with specified weight and BMI ranges, and people with low IgG or immunosuppressive conditions are excluded. Total participation lasts up to about 23 weeks with in-clinic monitoring and scheduled follow-up visits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could identify a safe dose and dosing schedule that enable later studies in patients who may benefit from ARGX-124.
How similar studies have gone: Argenx has produced successful clinical results with related agents (for example efgartigimod), but ARGX-124 itself is a novel compound being tested in healthy volunteers for the first time.
