A Study to Assess 18-Methoxycoronaridine (18-MC HCl) in Healthy Volunteers

Definium Therapeutics US, Inc.108 enrolled

Overview

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single day dosing and a separate multiple day dosing of 18-MC HCl administered orally, each part of the study having a different set of healthy male and female volunteers.

This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single day and multiple day dosing, in healthy, non-smoking, male and female volunteers. Part 1: Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Seven (7) healthy male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either 18-MC HCl (n=5) or placebo (n=2) in each cohort. These volunteers will receive 18-MC HCl twice in 1 day (bid). There are 3 phases: Screening, Enrollment and Follow-Up. All participants will be assessed for safety and tolerability for 28 days. Screening begins when a participant reports to the clinical unit (CU) for a screening visit to undergo safety and compliance assessments on this day. Participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to the CU on the day prior to receiving study drug. Enrollment begins on Day 1 where participants will receive two doses of study drug for 1 day, will be assessed for 18-MC PK up to 48 hours, and will remain admitted at the CU until Day 3, at which time they will be discharged. For follow-up the participants will return for safety and tolerability assessments at Days 7, 14, 21 and Day 28. Part 2: Multiple Day Ascending Dose (MAD) Seven (7) healthy male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either 18-MC HCl (n=5) or placebo (n=2) in each cohort. These volunteers will receive 18-MC HCl twice over 7 days (bid). There are 3 phases: Screening, Enrollment and Follow-Up. All participants will be assessed for 42 days. Screening begins when a participant reports to the clinical unit (CU) for a screening visit to undergo safety and compliance assessments on this day. Participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to the CU on the day prior to receiving study drug. Enrollment begins on Day 1 where participants will receive two doses of study drug every day for 7 days, will be assessed for 18-MC PK up to 48 hours on Day 1 and Day 7, and will remain admitted at the CU until Day 9, at which time they will be discharged. For follow-up the participants will return for safety and tolerability assessments at Days 14, 21, 28, 35 and Day 42.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

To assess the safety, using incidence and severity of adverse events, of a single and multiple-day dosing of 18-MC administered orally.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs). An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.

Time frame: Up to 28 days (SAD) and 42 days (MAD)
