Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - SGB-3403
Other interventions - Placebo
4 Cohorts: 30mg, 100mg, 300mg, 500mg and 800mg
The duration of administration: single dose
SGB-3403 will be administered via subcutaneous injection by a registered nurse
The used and/or partially used vials can be disposed of per local practice. If the used and/or partially used vials cannot be disposed of at the site, they will be returned, along with the unused vials, to the sponsor or its agent after receipt of written authorization from the Sponsor.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Sodium chloride injection (0.9% w/v) will be administered via subcutaneous injection.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 334333 0
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the incidence of adverse events assessed by triplicate 12-lead ECG (heart rate, PR interval, QRS interval, HR, QT, and QTc interval), physical examination (includes, at a minimum head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck, and lymph nodes, and the cardiovascular, dermatological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological systems), vital signs assessed by vital signs monitor (vital signs monitor can simultaneously monitor blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature), blood monitoring and by collection of a blood sample for assessment of chemistry and hematology, serology (HIV, HBsAg, HBV, Syphilis, and HCV), coagulation and urine sample for urinalysis. Adverse effects will be coded using the latest version of MedDRA, summaries will be based on treatment-emergent adverse events and will be evaluated and documented using NCI-CTCAE-V5.0 and Guidance for Industry - Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (FDA 2007). The safety laboratory data will be summarized by visit and by treatment group, along with changes from baseline.

Subjects will return to the clinical study site for PD monitoring visits every 4 ± 1 weeks until LDL-C level returns to = 80% of baseline. PD follow-up will not exceed 180 days after the last study drug administration.
Secondary outcome [4] 421215 0
The pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of SGB-3403 on total cholesterol (TC), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A1, triglycerides, and lipoprotein (a) will be assessed by blood sample detection.
