ABBV-142 for Healthy Subjects
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test ABBV-142, a new treatment, to observe its behavior in the body and confirm its safety and tolerability. Participants will receive either one of several doses of ABBV-142 or a placebo (a harmless pill with no active drug) for comparison. It is open to individuals in generally good health. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the ABBV-142 trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. Please consult with the trial coordinators for more details.
Is there any evidence suggesting that ABBV-142 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research shows that ABBV-142 is being tested to understand its mechanism in the body and the body's response. This treatment is a monoclonal antibody, designed to target specific proteins. Current studies examine side effects and patient tolerance.
Since ABBV-142 is in early testing stages, information about its safety in humans remains limited. Early trials focus on assessing safety and identifying side effects. It has not been widely tested in people, so potential risks or side effects are still under investigation. Participants in these studies help researchers determine if the treatment can be safely used in larger groups in the future.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
ABBV-142 is unique because it offers a novel approach to treatment by targeting specific pathways that current therapies might not address. Unlike standard treatments for many conditions that often involve broad-spectrum drugs with systemic effects, ABBV-142 may provide a more targeted action, potentially reducing side effects and improving efficacy. Researchers are particularly excited about its potential to bring faster results due to its innovative mechanism of action, which could lead to quicker symptom relief compared to traditional therapies. Additionally, the possibility of administering ABBV-142 in various doses offers flexibility that can be tailored to individual patient needs, maximizing its therapeutic potential.
What evidence suggests that ABBV-142 could be effective?
The trial studies ABBV-142 to understand its effects and safety in healthy individuals. Participants in different treatment arms will receive varying doses of ABBV-142 or a placebo to assess the drug's tolerability and the safety of expected effective doses. Although limited information exists on its efficacy, the trial primarily focuses on safety and the body's processing of the drug. The trial also examines different doses to identify the optimal one that avoids harmful side effects.12367
