Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 333722 0

Secondary outcome [1] 418070 0
Concentrations of ALG-801 during weekly administration of subcutaneous doses of ALG-801 at multiple doses will be measured using validated bioanalytical methods.

Serum will be tested. The pharmacokinetic parameters will include, but not be limited to, Tmax, Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-8, T1/2, CL/F and Vz/F.
Timepoint [1] 418070 0
PK assessments will be performed pre-dose and at 8- and 24-hours post-dose on Day 1, and on Days 3, 5, 8 (pre-dose), 15 (pre-dose), 22 (pre-dose), 29, 36, 43, and 50.
Secondary outcome [2] 418071 0
Immunogenicity of ALG-801 will be assessed in serum samples using an anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay.
Timepoint [2] 418071 0
Day 1, 22, and 50 post commencement of intervention.
Secondary outcome [3] 418940 0
Exploratory outcomes include changes in bone turnover markers BSAP, P1NP, and CTx in serum using validated analytical methods.
Timepoint [3] 418940 0
Day 1 (pre-dose), 15, 29 and 43 post commencement of intervention.
Secondary outcome [4] 418941 0

Safety
Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size in each of the three cohorts consists of 10-11 subjects per dose group (8 active, 2-3 placebo) for exploratory evaluation of safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of ALG-801. The sample size in Cohort 1, Cohort 2, and Cohort 3 was not powered for any statistical hypothesis test.

All safety data will be tabulated with descriptive statistics. Data from all placebo subjects will be pooled. Data from ALG-801 treated subjects will be presented by dose (8 subjects per dose).

Pharmacokinetic data will be derived using all subjects who have sufficient plasma samples to allow for calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters. Pharmacokinetic parameters will include, but not be limited to, Tmax, Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-8, T1/2, CL/F and Vz/F. PK parameters will be summarized by dose group using descriptive statistics. Selected PK parameters will be analyzed by comparative statistics. Dose proportionality of PK parameters will be assessed by linear regression analysis.

Immunogenicity of ALG-801 will be assessed using an ADA assay pre-dose and on Days 22 and 50 to evaluate generation of ADA titers and any change in ADA titers over time.

PD assessments will be summarized using descriptive statistics for each dose group with respect to dose level and time point. PD effects will also be evaluated in relationship to systemic exposure.
