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...
