This study was a randomized, participant and investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled, single-ascending dose study, consisting of 9 sequential dose cohorts (1 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg, 240 mg, 450 mg and 600 mg) and a Japanese ethnic sensitivity cohort (240 mg dose)
Eligible healthy participants with normal blood pressure (SBP: 110-139 mmHg; DBP: 70-89 mmHg) were randomized into dose cohorts 1 - 240 mg. Eligible healthy participants with elevated blood pressure (SBP: 139 - 159 mmHg; DBP: 75 - 95 mmHg) were randomized into dose cohorts 450 and 600 mg. Each participant received a subcutaneous single dose of either XXB750 or placebo. In total, the duration of the study was 151 days, including the full Screening period of up to 28 days, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics assessments over a period of 91 days, and a 30-day safety follow up call after the end of study visit. Sentinel dosing will be applied in this FIH study at each new dose level to ensure participant's safety and minimize the number of participants that may experience symptomatic hypotension, especially for sustained periods of time attributing to the long acting nature of XXB750 and the sustained pharmacological effects on BP at higher doses. The 10-day safety monitoring for the sentinel cohort is considered sufficient based on the predicted mean Tmax (4.5 days) in humans.
