Study to Evaluate APVO210 in Healthy Subjects, Patients With Psoriasis, and Patients With Ulcerative Colitis

Study Purpose

Phase 1 study in 2 stages with 2 expansion cohorts. The first stage is a single ascending dose (SAD) study of APVO210 in healthy volunteers. The second stage is a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study of APVO210 in healthy volunteers. Two expansion cohorts evaluate multiple doses of APVO210 in psoriasis patients and ulcerative colitis patients.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
