September 11, 2023 updated by: Elysium Therapeutics, Inc.

A Phase 1, Randomized, Open-Label, 2-Part Study to Evaluate the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ETR028 Acetate and ETR029 Acetate in Healthy Adult Subjects

The goal of this Phase 1 clinical study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of O2P (Oral Overdose Protected) hydrocodone prodrugs (ETR028 and ETR029) relative to hydrocodone bitartrate hemipentahydrate (HCBT) comparator following single oral doses in healthy adult subjects under fasted and fed conditions with naltrexone blockade

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1, randomized, single-site, open-label, single dose, 2-part study to evaluate the safety and PK of immediate release O2P hydrocodone (comprised of prodrug ETR028 or a blend of ETR028 and ETR029 prodrugs) against an HCBT comparator in healthy adult subjects when administered under fasted and fed conditions with naltrexone blockade. Up to approximately 78 healthy adult subjects are planned to be enrolled with each subject participating in 1 treatment period except for subjects in O2P hydrocodone treatment periods crossed over to receive O2P hydrocodone under fed conditions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects who meet all of the following criteria will be eligible to participate in the study:

  1. Subjects must be male or female, 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive, at the Screening Visit;

  3. Subjects must have a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 kg/m2 to 32 kg/m2(> 45 kg), inclusive;
  4. Subjects must be in general good health, based upon the results of medical history, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory profile, and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), as judged by the Investigator;
  5. Subjects must have an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the Screening Visit. One retest of the exclusionary eGFR value is allowed at the discretion of the Investigator;

  6. Subjects must have normal hematologic function at the Screening Visit, defined as the following:

    o Hemoglobin >= 11.5 (female) or >= 12.5 (male); Note: Subjects with non-clinically significant out-of-range values may be rescreened once for purposes of determining study eligibility.

  7. Subjects must have all safety laboratory parameters (serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) within normal limits (laboratory reference range) at the Screening and Check-in (Day -1) Visit or, if outside of the normal limits, must meet both of the following criteria:

    • Considered by the Investigator to not be clinically significant; and
    • Abnormal liver function test results (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, or total bilirubin level) must be < 1.5 × upper limit of normal of the laboratory reference range.

    Note: Subjects with non-clinically significant out-of-range values may be rescreened once for purposes of determining study eligibility.
