Details and patient eligibility

About

CDX-301 is a protein that stimulates the growth of bone marrow stem cells and certain immune cells. This study is testing CDX-301 in healthy volunteers who will be monitored for safety and biological response for approximately one month or more.

Full description

A total of seven cohorts of healthy volunteers are planned with doses of CDX-301 (rhuFlt3L) ranging between 1 and 75 μg/kg and dosing durations between 5 and 10 days.

Volunteers will be admitted to an inpatient unit during the Treatment Period. Blood samples will be collected periodically to assess the effect of CDX-301. Volunteers will be followed for safety for 28 days following the last dose. Any volunteer who develops anti-CDX-301 antibodies will be followed monthly until the antibody response is below the limit of detection. In general, the total duration of the study will be between approximately 33-38 days.
