Phase 1 Study of ACE-083 in Healthy Subjects

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Musculoskeletal Diseases

In brief

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of ACE-083 as a local injection into selected skeletal muscles of healthy subjects. The study will also determine the amount of ACE-083 that reaches the systemic circulation following local administration. Additionally, the study will assess whether local administration into skeletal muscle results in an increase in the size and/or strength of the injected muscle.
