Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - LSALT peptide
Other interventions - 0.9% Saline

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - 0.9% Saline For SAD and MAD arms.

Experimental: Single Ascending Dose - Low Dose - LSALT peptide (1mg/mL in 0.9% saline) Single escalating dose - 0.01mg, 0.1mg, 0.3mg, 0.5mg intravenously Escalation to 2.5mg and 5mg doses in next cohorts if no adverse effects are seen after 10-14 days.

Experimental: Single Ascending Dose - LSALT peptide (1mg/mL in 0.9% saline) Single dose - 1mg intravenously over 2h Escalation to next dose in next participant every 72h if no adverse effects are seen.

Experimental: Multiple Ascending Dose - LSALT peptide (1mg/mL in 0.9% saline) Dose will be determined based on results of SAD arm. LSALT will be administered intravenously once or twice daily for 3 days.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- No prior history of major organ or systemic disease including diabetes, hypertension,
kidney, heart or liver disease. Participants with childhood asthma are acceptable.

- Normal hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis parameters at screening, unless
not deemed clinically significant by the investigator.

- Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 kg/m2 and 32 kg/m2 (inclusive)

- Taking no prescription medications 2 weeks prior to admission or over-the-counter
medications 7 days prior to admission. Occasional use of paracetamol or ibuprofen (up

- Able to allow intravenous medication to be administered.

- Males (along with their female partners) and females of childbearing potential
(defined as a female who is not menopausal or surgically sterilized) must be willing
to use an acceptable method of birth control during heterosexual activities including
a condom and a second highly effective method (i.e., hormonal contraceptive,
intra-uterine device) or abstinence for the duration of the study. Should a woman
become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must
inform her treating physician immediately. Males should continue with the
aforementioned contraception for 90 days after the last dose and females should
continue with the aforementioned contraception for 60 days after last dose.

- Able to understand and willing to sign an ethics committee-approved written informed
consent document

sitting), significant neurological, pulmonary (including asthma), hepatic, rheumatic,
autoimmune, haematological, metabolic or renal disorder.

- Prescription medications are prohibited. No prescription medications 2 weeks prior to
admission or over-the-counter medications 7 days prior to admission. Occasional use of
paracetamol or ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg and 400 mg/day respectively) are acceptable.

Investigator.

- Participant is sero-positive to HIV-1 or HIV-2, HCV or HBV.

- History or presence of alcoholism within two years prior to the first study drug
administration or drugs of abuse unless it can be explained to the satisfaction of the
investigator that it is due to a standard dose of a prescribed medication and that an
adequate wash-out will occur prior to admission.

- No findings on clinical examination that, in the opinion of the investigator, could
compromise the safety of the participant or the results of the study.

- Blood donation or significant blood loss within 60 days prior to the first study drug
administration.

- Administration of investigational product in another trial within 30 days prior to the
first study drug administration or five half-lives, whichever is longer.
