Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study in nine (9) separate and sequential dose cohorts (7 SC and 2 IV cohorts) to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LIB003 in subjects with moderately elevated LDL-C levels.
After meeting eligibility criteria within each cohort subjects will be randomized to receive a single dose of LIB003. Seven (7) cohorts will receive LIB003 escalating doses of LIB003, or placebo, by SC injection and 2 cohorts LIB003 or placebo by IV infusion. Dose escalation will be based on the assessment of safety and tolerability data. All cohorts will each first enroll a sentinel group of subjects who will receive LIB003 or placebo in a double-blind fashion with the remaining subjects in that cohort only to be dosed after the safety data on day 4 from the sentinel subjects has been assessed and deemed safe.
