Phase 1 Safety Study of Single and Multi-Dose Topically Applied OLT1177 Gel in Healthy Subjects

A Phase 1, Randomized, Dose Escalation, Single Center, Safety Study of Single and Multi-Dose, Topically Applied OLT1177 Gel in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine if OLT1177 Gel is safe and can be tolerated when given as a single dose and multidose to a defined area of one knee of healthy subjects.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Placebo gel; Drug: OLT1177 Gel

Detailed Description

OLT1177 Gel is being developed for the topical treatment of pain and inflammation emanating from musculoskeletal and certain skin inflammatory conditions.

This is a Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of OLT1177 Gel in healthy subjects when given as single-dose or multi-dose applications. The study will be conducted in two parts, Part A and Part B. In Part A, approximately 18 healthy subjects in 3 dose escalating cohorts will be randomized to receive a single dose of the investigational drug (5 subjects OLT1177 Gel and 1 subject placebo gel). Upon completion of Part A, a new subject population of approximately 18 subjects in 3 dose escalating cohorts will be randomized in Part B of the study. Subjects will receive a total of 8 doses over 3 consecutive days given 6 hours apart while awake during the day and will be followed for up to 30 days for safety assessment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Recording of adverse events	Adverse events will be described with respect to seriousness, intensity, relationship to treatment, action taken and outcome of the event. Local skin irritation will be assessed at each visit based on individual signs and symptoms of skin tolerability for erythema, pruritus, scaling/dryness, edema and stinging/burning.	Part A - during the 7 days following the application of the study drug and Part B during the 14 day following each application of the study drug

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Area under the Concentration curve (AUC)	Part A - Pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours post dose and Days 2, 3 and 7. Part B - Pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post dose, Days 2, 3 (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours post dose) Days 4, 7 and 14
