CM-101 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that neutralizes CCL24 to attenuate inflammation and fibrosis in preclinical models. Here we report the results from two Phase 1a studies investigating the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) CM-101 in healthy participants, and in one Phase 1b study of IV and SC CM-101 in patients with MASLD without evidence of MASH.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In each dose group (0.75 mg/kg, 2.5 mg/kg, 5.0 mg/kg, and 10.0 mg/kg) of the single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1a IV study, healthy volunteers were randomized 3:1 to receive a single IV infusion of CM-101 or placebo.
