A first‐in‐human study of KMRC011, a potential treatment for acute radiation syndrome, to explore tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics

Abstract KMRC011 is a novel Toll‐like receptor 5 agonist under development as a treatment for acute radiation syndrome (ARS). The aim of this first‐in‐human study was to investigate the tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a single intramuscular dose of KMRC011 in healthy subjects...

A randomized, single‐blind, placebo‐controlled, single dose‐escalation study was conducted with the starting dose of 5 μg.

KMRC011 15 μg and 20 μg showed significant increases of G‐CSF, IL‐6, and absolute neutrophil counts, compared with the placebo. A single intramuscular administration of KMRC011 ranging from 5 to 15 μg was tolerated in healthy subjects.
