Experimental: DS-5141b
DS-5141b, Subcutaneous injection Part 1: DS-5141b will be injected subcutaneously once a week for 2 weeks at the following dose levels. Dose escalation will be performed. DS-5141b will be administered at dose levels 1 and 3 in Cohort 1 and at dose levels 2 and 4 in Cohort 2.
Part 2: Two doses of DS-5141b will be selected based on the results obtained in Part 1. Each selected dose will be administered subcutaneously once a week for 12 weeks. Part 2-Extension: Two doses, 2.0 mg/kg or 6.0 mg/kg, of DS-5141b will be administered subcutaneously once a week for 48 weeks. |
