Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics (free IgE levels) profile was evaluated. LP-003 exhibited a non-linear PK characteristic with T1/2 ranging from 46.3 days to 75.6 days, which is approximately 2～3 fold of Omalizumab. Moreover, the free-IgE was suppressed to below detection range for more than 70 days at 1 mg/Kg group (except one with high baseline IgE level) to 10 mg/Kg group. LP-003 appears to show good safety profile. No Grade 3 and above TEAE was reported, establishing a solid foundation for further investigation and advancement.  "This poster presentation provides the opportunity to share our first-in-human data for LP-003 to the international allergy community.
