Abbreviations: ADA, antidrug antibody; GLP, good laboratory practices; IV, intravenous; TK, toxicokinetic.
a Control group was dosed with vehicle.
b Cytokine analysis conducted for monkey study only. Samples from days 1 and 22 of the dosing phase (predose and 1 and 24 hours postdose samples only) were sent for cytokine analysis.
c Clinical pathology (clin path) included hematology, serum chemistry, coagulation, and urinalysis.
d 10/sex/group for dosing phase and 5/sex/group for recovery phase (recovery phase day 1 = dosing phase day 30).
e On day 1, animals in 30 mg/kg group received approximately 21 mg/kg dose (∼70.0% of the nominal 30 mg/kg dose).
f 4/sex/group for dosing phase across all dose levels and 2/sex/group for recovery phase in 300 mg/kg dose level only.
