Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of anti‐IL‐4Rα antibody SHR‐1819 in healthy subjects: A randomized, controlled phase I study

SHR-1819 is a novel anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody currently under clinical development for use in patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation phase I trial, we evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of SHR-1819 in healthy subjects. Subjects received a single subcutaneous injection of SHR-1819 or placebo, with dose escalation starting at 60 mg and subsequently increasing to 120, 240, 360, and 720 mg. A total of 42 eligible subjects were randomized, and 33 received SHR-1819 (1 subject in the 60 mg cohort and 8 subjects each in the 120, 240, 360 , and 720 mg cohorts) and 9 received placebo. SHR-1819 was well-tolerated, with the majority of adverse events being mild in severity. The exposure of SHR-1819 increased in a manner greater than proportionally with a dose range of 120 to 720 mg.
