About this trial
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of ZB002 in healthy participants and in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study consists of 2 parts. Part A: Single Ascending Dose (SAD), which will include only healthy volunteers. Part B: Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD), will commence after completion of the SAD study and will include RA participants.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Part A: Safety and Tolerability in HVs
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZB002 in HVs by assessing the number, severity and type of adverse events, including changes in laboratory safety test and electrocardiogram (ECG)
Part B: Safety and Tolerability of multiple doses of ZB002 in participants with RA
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ZB002 in participants with RA by assessing the number of participants with Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious TEAEs, and TEAE leading to discontinuation
Secondary outcomes
Part A: Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax)
Pharmacokinetics
Part A: Time for Cmax (Tmax)
Pharmacokinetics
Part A: Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf)
Pharmacokinetics
Part A: AUC from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)
