Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of X842 in Human: A Single/Multiple Ascending Dose Study

Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of X842 in Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess and analyze the safety, tolerability and PK/PD data following single ascending and multiple ascending doses of X842 in healthy subjects.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Single ascending dose of X842; Drug: Multiple ascending dose of X842; Drug: Losec

Detailed Description

This is a single-centre, open label, first-in-human study with the primary objective to evaluate safety and tolerability of X842 after administration of single and multiple oral ascending doses to healthy male and female subjects. The study comprises a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) part and a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) part including an open-label multiple dose cohort administered active comparator (omeprazole). Four subjects will be included in each of the SAD and MAD cohorts.

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 years to 60 years (Adult)
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
• Genders Eligible for Study: All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Willing and able to give written informed consent for participation in the study.
• Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18 and ≤ 30 kg/m2 and weight at least 50 kg and no more than 100 kg at screening.
• Clinically normal medical history, physical findings, vital signs, ECG and laboratory values at the time of screening, as judged by the Investigator.
• Male subjects must be willing to use condom and if they have a fertile partner, she must use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% to prevent pregnancy and drug exposure of a partner and refrain from donating sperm from the date of dosing until three months after dosing of the IMP.
• Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential (defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or post-menopausal females defined as 12 months of amenorrhoea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulation hormone 25-140 IE/L and estradiol <200 pmol/L is confirmatory]).

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of any clinically significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
• Present clinically significant psychiatric diagnosis, at discretion of the Investigator.
• Any clinically significant illness, medical/surgical procedure or trauma within four weeks of the first administration of investigational medical product.
• History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past five years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
• History of any surgical or medical condition which might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs. The investigator is to be guided by evidence of any of the following: history of major gastrointestinal surgery such as gastrectomy, gastroenterostomy, bowel resection or Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS).
• History or presence of diagnosed and long-term treatment for GERD.
• Likelihood of having a gastric pH>2 due to for example known autoimmune gastritis or known Helicobacter pylori gastritis.
• Known severe atrophic gastritis.
• Vitamin B-12 deficiency and/or chronic Vitamin B-12 substitution.
• Known malabsorption.
• Any planned major surgery within the duration of the study.
• Any positive result on screening for serum hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

• After 10 minutes of supine rest at the time of screening, any vital signs values outside the following ranges:

  • Systolic BP 90 - 140 mm Hg
  • Diastolic BP 50 - 90 mm Hg
  • Heart rate (HR) 45-90 beats per minute
• Prolonged QTcF (>450 ms), cardiac arrhythmias or any clinically significant abnormalities in the resting ECG at the time of screening, as judged by the Investigator.
• History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or on-going allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the Investigator, or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to X842 or omeprazole.
• Regular use of any prescribed or non-prescribed medication including antacids, analgesics, herbal remedies, vitamins and minerals within two weeks prior to the (first) administration of IMP, except occasional intake of paracetamol (maximum 2 000 mg/day; and not exceeding 6 000 mg/week), at the discretion of the Investigator and nasal decongestants without cortisone or antihistamine for a maximum of 10 days, at the discretion of the Investigator.
• Administration of another new chemical entity (defined as a compound which has not been approved for marketing) or has participated in any other clinical study that included drug treatment with less than three months between administration of last dose and first dose of IMP in this study. Subjects consented and screened but not dosed in previous phase I studies are not excluded.
• Current smokers or users of nicotine products. Irregular use of nicotine (e.g. smoking, snuffing, chewing tobacco) less than three times per week is allowed before screening visit.
• Positive screen for drugs of abuse or alcohol at screening or on admission to the unit prior to administration of the IMP.
• Current or history of alcohol abuse and/or use of anabolic steroids or drugs of abuse.
• Intake of xanthine and/or taurine containing energy drinks within two days prior to first day of IMP administration.
• Plasma donation within one month of screening or blood donation (or corresponding blood loss) during the three months prior to screening.
• Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Single ascending dose of X842; Single ascending oral dose of X842 administered to subjects in cohorts. Cohorts are administered in sequence.	Drug: Single ascending dose of X842; Each subject in a the same cohort will be assigned to the same single dose of X842. The subjects in the subsequent cohort will be assigned to a single dose of X842 based on safety and efficacy data generated from the previous cohort.; Other Names: X842
Experimental: Multiple ascending dose of X842; Multiple ascending oral dose of X842 administered to subjects in cohorts. Cohorts are administered in sequence.	Drug: Multiple ascending dose of X842; Each subject in a the same cohort will be assigned to the same dose of X842 once daily for five days. The subjects in the subsequent cohort will be assigned to same dose of X842 once daily for five days based on safety and efficacy data generated from the previous cohort.; Other Names: X842
Active Comparator: Losec; Standard oral dose of omeprazole administered to subjects in one cohort.	Drug: Losec; Each subject in one cohort will be assigned to a standard dose of omeprazole once daily for five days.; Other Names: omeprazole

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Occurrence and frequency of AEs, changes in laboratory parameters, vital signs and physical examination after single and multiple doses of X842. Summary statistics will be applied.	Safety and tolerability will be assessed by occurrence and frequency of AEs, changes in laboratory parameters, vital signs and physical examination. The adverse event assessment will follow the recommendations and grading system of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03. Summary statistics will be applied.	Five weeks

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Measurement of the PK profile (Cmax)	To assess the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)	Up to 48 hours after dosing
Measurement of the PK profile (t1/2)	To assess the plasma half life (t1/2) of drug	Up to 48 hours after dosing
Measurement of the PD profile (intragastric pH)	To assess and characterize the PD profile with measurements of intragastric pH	Up to 24 hours after dosing
