The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, cotadutide, for the potential treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease. This healthy volunteer study will try to identify how two different concentrations of cotadutide are taken up by the body when dosed under the skin (subcutaneous injection). The study will also try to identify the absolute bioavailability of cotadutide (amount taken up by the body when dosed under the skin compared to an injection directly into the vein (intravenous)). This is a single-part, three-period study taking place at one non-NHS site in the UK and will involve 12 male and female (non-pregnant/non-lactating) volunteers aged 18-55. For each study period, on Day 1 volunteers will receive cotadutide as either a subcutaneous injection (into the stomach) or an intravenous injection following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. The subcutaneous injections will be given as either a 1 mg/ml or 5 mg/ml concentration. The intravenous injection will be given as a 0.1 mg/ml concentration. Volunteers will be discharged on Day 4 and there will be a washout period of 7 days between dosing. Blood samples will be taken at regular intervals for pharmacokinetics and safety assessments from Day -1 to discharge. Volunteers will need to return for a follow up visit 28 (±2) days post-first dose for provisional of an anti-drug antibody sample and to ensure wellbeing
The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, cotadutide, for the potential treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease. NASH is a common liver disease characteristic of a damaged liver that may no longer work properly. T2DM is a condition that causes sugar (glucose) levels in the blood to become too high which can damage the blood vessels within the kidney leading to chronic kidney disease and also causing problems with eyes, heart and nerves. This healthy volunteer study will try to identify how two different concentrations of cotadutide are taken up by the body when dosed under the skin (subcutaneous injection). The study will also try to identify the absolute bioavailability of cotadutide (amount taken up by the body when dosed under the skin compared to an injection directly into the vein (intravenous)). The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of cotadutide. This is a single-part, three-period study taking place at one non-NHS site in the UK and will involve 12 male and female (non-pregnant/non-lactating) volunteers aged 18-55. For each study period, on Day 1 volunteers will receive cotadutide as either a subcutaneous injection (into the stomach) or an intravenous injection following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.
