A Study to Assess the Absolute Bioavailability of Empasiprubart SC Administered With an Autoinjector and the Pharmacokinetic Noninferiority of Empasiprubart SC Versus Intravenous (IV) in Healthy Adult Participants
Canada130 participantsStarted 2026-03-16
Plain-language summary
This study aims to see how the body reacts to empasiprubart, administered using an autoinjector (AI). The study will also look at other effects of empasiprubart, how it works in the body, and if it is safe.
The study consists of 2 parts: parts A and B. In part A, eligible participants will be randomized to receive empasiprubart SC AI via abdomen, empasiprubart SC AI via thigh, or empasiprubart IV (intravenously). In part B, eligible participants will be randomized to receive empasiprubart SC AI via abdomen or empasiprubart IV.
Participants from part A will be in the study for approximately up to 37 weeks . Participants from part B will be in the study for up to approximately 43 weeks.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Is at least the local legal age of consent and aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive, when signing the ICF.
* Has a body weight between 50 and 120 kg and a BMI between 18 and 35 kg/m2, inclusive.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Has any current or past clinically meaningful medical or psychiatric condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would confound the study results or put the participant at undue risk.
* Clinical diagnosis of SLE. For participants with an antinuclear antibody titer of ≥1:80 and a positive anti-double-stranded DNA and/or positive anti-Smith result at screening, an SLE diagnosis must be ruled out before the first IMP administration.
* Previously participated in an empasiprubart clinical study and received at least 1 dose of IMP.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
