Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance, pharmacokinetics and the potential immunological reaction of single intravenous recombinant human thymosin β4(NL005)or placebo 0.5, 2.0,5.0μg/kg in Chinese healthy volunteers.30 volunteers will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to receive either NL005 or placebo for 10 consecutive days.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (11)
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) .
Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by comprehensive evaluation of drug safety by adverse event observation, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory examination, electrocardiogram, etc. In this study, DLT was defined as liver, kidney, heart and mental nervous system toxicity of level 2 or above or blood system toxicity of level 3 or above and other systemic adverse events occurred within 14 days after drug administration, and the adverse events were judged to be related to the experimental drug use.If more than 3 (including 3) DLT cases are present in any dose group, the test should be terminated. The previous dose of this dose is considered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Day-7、-1、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、14、28.
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03.
Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) by comprehensive evaluation of drug safety by adverse event observation, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory examination, electrocardiogram, etc. All adverse events were determined according to NCI CTCAE4.03.CTCAE4.03 was classified into grades 1 to 5, in which grade 1 was mild adverse event and grade 5 was death due to adverse event.According to NCI CTCAE4.03.
Day-7、-1、1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、14、28.
