Overview
First in human study to understand the potential side effects of MTX-101, how long MTX-101 lasts in the human body, and how MTX-101 affects specific human immune cells.
Description
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MTX-101 in healthy adults (HA) and participants with celiac disease (CeD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study will enroll HAs only in Part A and CeD and T1D patients only in Part B.

- Negative Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) test within 24 hours prior to each dose.
- Persons of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and either abstain from sex or use highly effective method(s) of birth control from Day 1 through the duration of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Clinically significant findings in physical examination (PE), vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature), electrocardiogram (ECG), and safety laboratory parameters at Screening in the opinion of the Investigator.
- Renal function calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or abnormal level of proteinuria detected by dipstick at the time of Screening.

Participants must abstain from nicotine use while inpatient.
- History of receiving a live vaccine within 1 month of Screening.
- History of splenectomy.
- History of COVID or influenza vaccine within 2 weeks prior to Screening.
