Study Information

DNTH103 is being developed for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (when the body’s natural immune system attacks normal cells) by targeting the ‘classical pathway’ of the complement cascade. The complement cascade is a process which helps to trigger the immune response to an infection. This cascade can be activated by three different pathways which act to treat infection and destroy the pathogen (disease causing). Whilst this complement cascade is a vital part of our body’s first line of defence against infection, in some disorders, the inflammation and immune response driven by this pathway to clear infection can become uncontrolled and promote further illness. In conditions such as inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, prolonged inflammation and self-targeting immune cells are promoters of disease, respectively.

DNTH103 works by aiming at and attaching to one of the sensors which activates the ‘classical pathway’, for which if uncontrolled, can be a cause of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. It is hoped that by binding to this sensor, DNTH103 can prevent the over-activation of this pathway and may be an effective treatment for complement-causing inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

The purpose of Part A of this study is to:

  • Evaluate how safe and well tolerated DNTH103 is, in healthy participants
  • Measure levels of DNTH103 in the blood over time, following a single dose (pharmacokinetics)
  • Measure the body’s response to a single dose of DNTH103 (pharmacodynamics)
  • Assess the body’s immune response to DNTH103

Medical questions

If yes, please put the vape strength or indicate the average number of cigarettes per day.
E.g., resident working visa, student visa, working holiday visa
This will allow us to determine any travel expenses that may be needed on the study
Please indicate the number of doses you have received
Have you looked at the study dates and are okay to come in those days? Indicate which group/s you are available for. This means having flexibility for more than one group increases your chances of being accepted into a group.
