Rationale for the Study: Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) data is needed in Chinese and Japanese populations to support future clinical development of BIIB023 in China and Japan.~Study Design: This is a single-dose, Randomized, Double-Blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the PK, safety, and tolerability of BIIB023 administered intravenously (IV) to adult Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian healthy volunteers. The Caucasian group is included to allow comparison of PK data from different groups using data from the same study under the same controlled conditions.
