A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate PK Profile and Food Effects on PK Parameters of TNP-2092 Capsules

A Phase 1 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TNP-2092 Capsules, and the Food Effect on the Pharmacokinetics of TNP-2092 Capsules After Single-dose Oral Administration in Healthy Subjects

The aim of the study was to evaluate the tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of TNP-2092 Capsules after single-dose administration in healthy subjects, and the food effect on pharmacokinetics.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Hyperammonemia
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: TNP-2092 capsules; Drug: TNP-2092 placebo capsules

Detailed Description

This was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending single-dose-administration study, and a study on the food effects on pharmacokinetics. Five dose groups of 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, 800 mg, and 1200 mg will be set up.

The 100 mg, 200 mg, 800 mg, and 1200 mg groups will complete the single ascending dose study, with 10 subjects randomized in each group, 8 subjects receiving TNP-2092 and 2 receiving placebo. The drug will be administered once in each group in the fasting state, and tolerability will be evaluated on D4. Subjects were sequentially enrolled into different dose groups in ascending order of dose, and only when the previous lower dose was confirmed to be safe and well tolerated could they be enrolled into the next higher dose group.

The 400 mg group will complete the single ascending dose study, food effect study and undergo the metabolic transformation evaluation. A total of 18 subjects will be enrolled in the group and randomized into Group A and Group B, with 8 subjects receiving the investigational product and 1 receiving placebo. The drugs will be administered in the fasting state and in the fed state for two cycles, with a wash-out period of 4 days. In terms of the administration sequence, Group A will first take TNP-2092 Capsules or placebo in the fasting state, and then TNP-2092 Capsules or placebo in the fed state; Group B will first take TNP-2092 Capsules or placebo in the fed state, and then TNP-2092 Capsules or placebo in the fasting state. Tolerability evaluation will be conducted on D4 and at the end of the study of food effects on pharmacokinetics (D8).
