A Study in Healthy Adult Volunteers to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of an Investigational Imaging Product

A Double-blinded, Randomized, Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study in Healthy Adult Volunteers to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of an Investigational Imaging Product

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ASP5354 administered intravenously as a single dose to healthy subjects. This study will also assess the single dose pharmacokinetics of ASP5354 in plasma and urine.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Subjects
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Placebo; Drug: ASP5354

Detailed Description

This is a study comprising of 5 cohorts (cohorts 1 to 5) of 6 healthy subjects in each cohort (4 in each ASP5354 cohort and 2 in each placebo cohort). If the data from cohorts 1 to 3 are sufficient to characterize safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics and the assessed doses reach the expected urine ASP5354 concentration, the study may be ended without running the fourth or fifth cohorts.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety and tolerability assessed by nature, frequency, and severity of Adverse Events (AEs)	An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participants administered ASP5354, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. AEs will be coded using MedDRA.	Up to Day 14
Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or AEs	Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.	Up to Day 7
Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and /or AEs	Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.	Up to Day 7
Safety and tolerability assessed by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)	12-lead ECGs will be taken after the subject has been resting in the supine position for at least 5 minutes. 12 lead ECGs will be taken in triplicate.	Up to Day 7
