Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 Single Ascending dose (SAD) and Part 2 Multiple Ascending dose (MAD).
Subjects in SAD will be enrolled in 1 of 5 cohorts (8 subjects per cohort).
Subjects in Cohorts 1 to 4 will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio (3 KP104: 1 placebo) to receive a single intravenously dose. Starting dose of 60 mg, increasing to 180mg, 360mg, 600mg
Subjects enrolled in Cohort 5 will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio (3 KP104: 1 placebo) to receive a single 180mg dose via subcutaneous injection. Dose escalation to the next cohort may occur after review by the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) of blinded safety, and available Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics data from all subjects in all cohorts through Day 15.
Now, Up to 7 SAD cohorts are planned, comprising a total of approximately 56 subjects to be administered investigational product (IP) in Part 1 of the study (42 KP104 and 14 placebo). The first dose level to be studied will be 60 mg IV and the maximum dose level to be studied will be 900 mg IV. Two additional cohorts of subjects will receive 180 and 480 mg SC, respectively in order to assess the bioavailability of KP104.
Part 2 ( MAD) of the study can only be initiated once SAD Cohort 2 has been completed and the Safety Monitoring Committee has approved dose escalation to SAD Cohort 3.
Subjects in MAD will be enrolled to receive an initial intravenous loading dose of KP104 followed by one or more subsequent sub cutaneous maintenance doses of KP104. Subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio (3 KP104: 1 placebo) to receive a single 180mg dose via sub-cutaneous injection.
One initial intravenous loading dose of KP104 followed 1-2 weeks later by one or more SC maintenance doses spaced 1-2 weeks apart; the final number of doses and time between doses to be decided from data obtained in the preceding single dose study.
The initial intravenous loading dose will be between 180 and 600mg. The subsequent subcutaneous maintenance doses will be between 180 and 360mg.
Dose escalation to the next cohort may occur after review by the SMC of cumulative blinded safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics data from all subjects in all cohorts through Day 15. Up to 3 MAD cohorts are planned, comprising a total of approximately 24 subjects to be administered IP.
In each Cohort for both SAD and MAD, 2 sentinels will be enrolled and dosed in a 1:2 ratio ) ( 1KP104: 1 placebo), and the rest of cohort ( ROC) (6 subjects) can be enrolled following a 7 day- observation period of the sentinels.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
A computer - generated randomization schedule will be prepared to randomly allocate the subjects to treatment groups in the appropriate ratio according to the cohort. Participants will be randomly assigned to KP104 dosing or placebo based on the randomization scheme.
The pharmacist will dispense the study drug for individual subject dosing according to the randomization code.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomization using a randomization table created by computer software (i.e. computerised sequence generation), creating randomization schedule using SAS.
