A Study to Evaluate the Dose-proportionality and Effects of FG-4592 in Healthy Young and Elderly Male and Female Subjects

Astellas Pharma Europe B.V.48 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluates the concentration of FG-4592 in the blood over a certain period after the intake of different doses, and assesses the effects, the safety and the tolerability of the study drug in healthy young and elderly male and female subjects. On Day 1 of each of 4 periods subjects receive different single doses of FG-4592 or a placebo, depending on the treatment sequence to which they are randomized. For each period the subjects remain in the clinic for 6 days (Days -2 to 4). They are discharged after all assessments are completed on Day 4 of each period, and return for an End of Study visit (ESV) between 5 and 9 days after the last assessment of Period 4.

In this study eligible subjects reside in the clinic for 4 periods of 6 days (Day -2 through Day 4). Screening takes place from Day -23 through Day -3. Subjects are admitted to the clinic on Day -2 of Period 1. Within each cohort (young and elderly subjects), subjects are randomized to one of 24 treatment sequences of 4 treatment options (3 different doses of FG-4592 and placebo) and 4 periods. On Day 1 of each period, subjects receive a single oral dose of FG-4592 or placebo followed by a 72-hour evaluation period. Subjects are discharged on Day 4, if there are no medical reasons for a prolonged stay. Each period is separated by a wash-out period of at least 10 days between dosing on Day 1 of the previous period and dosing on Day 1 of the following period. The subjects return for an end-of-study visit (ESV) 5-9 days after the last assessment of Period 4 (or after early withdrawal). Plasma and urine samples are collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) assessments. Safety assessments are performed throughout the study.
