What clinical trials is PRA023 Low Dose in?

PRA023 Low Dose has been evaluated in two completed Phase 1 trials: NCT05354349, a bioavailability and Japanese ethnobridging study of the subcutaneous formulation with 49 healthy participants, and NCT04676178, a study of PRA023 in 69 healthy volunteers. Both were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.

Is PRA023 Low Dose the same as PRA023?
