About this trial
This is a first time in Asia (FTIA) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and immunogenicity of efimosfermin alfa to healthy participants of Chinese, Japanese, and White/European ancestry.

Male and female participants
Participants of Chinese ancestry are eligible if born in mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, and have lived outside China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan for less than 10 years at the time of screening.
Disqualifiers
