What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of XmAb942 through a three-part approach. The first two parts involve healthy volunteers receiving single and multiple doses of XmAb942 or a placebo. The third part focuses on participants with Ulcerative Colitis, who will receive the determined dose of XmAb942 or placebo based on the results from the healthy volunteer phases. The study is designed to assess both the drug's effects and its safety profile.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18-55 with a diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis and no significant medical history.

Not a fit: Patients with severe underlying health conditions or those with a history of suicidal behavior may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a new treatment option for patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches in treating Ulcerative Colitis, but the specific use of XmAb942 is novel.
