- # of participants with all AEs as assessed by CTCAE V4.0 included injection site reaction, will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]
- 12 lead electrocardiogram parameters included PR, QTcF and QTcB will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]
- clinical chemistry, haematology, urinalysis, liver function tests (included ALT, AST, GGT) will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]
- height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate and temperature will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]
- Biomarkers will be measured from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]serum hepcidin level (ng/ml), ferritin level (ug/L), Transferrin saturation (%), iron level (umol/L), haemoglobin and reticulocyte count will be analysed by central laboratory.
- Pharmacokinetic of SLN124 in plasma from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) will be analysed by central laboratory.
- Pharmacokinetic of SLN124 in plasma from baseline to post dose follow up [ Time Frame: Up to two months ]Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) will be analysed by central laboratory.
