Phase 1 Study of SBS-147 in Healthy Adults

February 27, 2026 updated by: Sparian Biosciences, Inc

A PHASE 1, TWO-PART, DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED, PLACEBO CONTROLLED STUDY EVALUATING THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND PHARMACOKINETICS OF SINGLE AND MULTIPLE ASCENDING DOSES OF ORALLY ADMINISTERED SBS-147 IN HEALTHY ADULTS

This study is part of the HEAL Initiative supported by the NIH.

The purpose of this study is to learn how safe the study drug, SBS-147, is and how people's bodies respond to and process it. Researchers will also look for any side effects that may occur when taking SBS-147.

Some participants will receive SBS-147, and others will receive a placebo, which looks the same but does not contain any medicine. This helps researchers fairly compare results.

The study includes two parts:

Single-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo one time.

Multiple-Dose Group, where Participants receive SBS-147 or placebo once or twice daily for 7 days.

Detailed Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of SBS-147. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What medical problems do participants have when taking SBS-147? Researchers will compare SBS-147 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if SBS-147 works to treat acute pain.

Participants in the single ascending dose portion will:

Take SBS-147 or a placebo one time during the study Stay confined to the clinic for a period of 5 days and undergo tests, blood draws, and questionnaires.

Complete an end of study visit on Day 8

Participants in the multiple ascending dose portion will:

Take SBS-147 or a placebo one time per day or twice a day for 7 days Stay confined to the clinic for a period of 10 days and undergo tests, blood draws, and questionnaires.

Complete an end of study visit on Day 14

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form (ICF)
  2. Healthy adult male or female, aged 18 to 55 years, inclusive, at Screening

  5. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
  6. Females of childbearing potential
  7. Healthy, as determined by protocol requirements
  8. Non- or ex-smoker for at least 90 days prior to Screening
  9. Participant is able and willing to comply with all study protocol procedures and requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Female who is lactating at Screening
  2. Female who is pregnant
  3. History of significant hypersensitivity reactions (like angioedema) to any drugs
  4. Presence or history of significant surgery that may affect drug bioavailability

  7. Showing suicidal tendency as per the C-SSRS administered at screening and clinic admission
  8. Any clinically significant illness in the 28 days prior to the first study drug administration
  9. Use of any prescription drugs in the 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Screening and until the end of the study, that in the opinion of an Investigator would put into question the status of the participant as healthy
  10. Use of opioids, hypnotics, and/or sedatives in the last 30 days prior to screening
  11. Routine or chronic use of acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for more than 7 of the 20 days during the screening period.

  16. Positive screening results to HIV Ag/Ab combo, hepatitis B surface antigen or hepatitis C virus Ab tests
  17. Any other clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results at screening that would, in the opinion of an Investigator and based on clinical judgment, increase the participant's risk of participation, jeopardize complete participation in the study, or compromise interpretation of study data
  18. Donation of plasma in the 7 days prior to Screening
  19. Donation of 1 unit of blood to American Red Cross or equivalent organization or donation of over 500 mL of blood in the 56 days prior to Screening
