Dataset from A Single-blind, Single Dose, Placebo Controlled, First Time in Human Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Ascending Doses of GSK249320 in Healthy Volunteers

GSK249320 is a monoclonal antibody directed against myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG), a protein that inhibits axonal regeneration. GSK249320 acts as a MAG antagonist, and through this activity it is hypothesised that it will enhance recovery from neuronal degeneration following acute axonal injury, which occurs in spinal cord injury or stroke.
