About

This is a randomized, placebo controlled, single dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of GX-E2 in healthy male subjects.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of GX-E2 when given as single dose (GX-E2 8 ug/kg) to healthy male subjects. Additionally, Immunogenecity will be evaluated to investigate antibody production.
