A Sequential Single and Multiple Ascending Dose (SAD/MAD) Study of SK10 Powders in Healthy Adult Subjects

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Sequential Dose-escalation Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of SK10 Powders (Inactivated Bacteroides Fragilis) in Healthy Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of orally administered SK10 powders in healthy adult subjects at three dose levels, following single and multiple doses.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Chemotherapy-induced Diarrhea
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: SK10; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential SAD and MAD study to assess the safety and tolerability of orally administered SK10 powders in healthy adult subjects.

This is a dose escalation study with three sequential cohorts planned testing at 3 dose levels.

A total of 24 subjects are planned to be enrolled into 3 cohorts (Cohorts 1, 2 and 3). Within each cohort, eligible subjects will be randomized to receive SK10 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. The treatment duration includes a single dose administration on Day 1 and 14-day repeat doses administration from Day 4 to Day 17.

The study consists of:

• Screening Period (28 days [Day -28 to Day -1])
• Treatment Period (Day -1 to Day 19)
• Follow-up Visit (Day 24).

The study duration will be approximately up to 52 days, conducted at a single center.

• Study Type: Interventional
• Enrollment (Actual): 24
• Phase: Phase 1

• Subject has been treated with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding the first dose of the IMP.
• Subject has taken probiotic foods and/or drinks and/or health products within 1 week before the first dose.
• History of alcohol and/or illicit drug abuse within 2 years before Screening.
• Subject has positive urine drug or alcohol test at the Screening Visit or Admission.
