Investigate the safety and tolerability of PP100-01 add-on treatment to the 12hr NAC treatment regime in patients treated for paracetamol/acetaminophen overdose (POD) when NAC treatment is initiated before 24hours post POD.
The study will be an open label, randomised, exploratory, rising dose design, NAC controlled, phase 1 safety and tolerability study in patients treated with NAC for paracetamol/acetaminophen overdose. Entry into the study will depend on the patient's blood results confirming the need for NAC. A total of 24 patients will be assigned into one of 3 dosing cohorts of 8 patients (N=6 for PP100-01 and NAC; N=2 for NAC alone). The study will primarily evaluate safety and tolerability for treatment with PP100-01 in combination with NAC as compared to NAC alone.

miR-122 (Delta Count)
MiR-122 is a biomarker specific for liver injury and fully conserved (translational) across in vitro models, in vivo models and humans. MiR-122 is an early marker for acute liver injury which predicts a rise in ALT activity following paracetamol overdose
