Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are healthy adults aged 18–55 with BMI 18–32 who have no significant medical conditions and no major allergies.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with significant medical histories or current health issues are unlikely to benefit and may be excluded.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human trial assesses the safety and tolerability of ascending single IV doses of BIIB144 versus placebo in healthy adults. It also characterizes how BIIB144 is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated (pharmacokinetics). Participants are healthy volunteers with BMI 18–32 and no significant health conditions. The study prioritizes safety outcomes, including adverse events and serious adverse events, and collects PK data to inform dose selection for future studies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If BIIB144 proves safe, it may move forward to testing in larger groups to determine its potential therapeutic use.

How similar studies have gone: First-in-human studies of similar drugs have shown how early safety and PK data guide further development, making this a common first step.
