First-in-Human Phase-1 Clinical Trial to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Food Effect of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of BF844 when Administered Orally to Healthy Adult Participants.
This is a first-in-human, single center, randomized, double-blinded, single and multiple ascending doses (SAD and MAD) and food effect Phase I study in healthy adult volunteers (HV). The SAD cohorts will consist of five cohorts of eight participants (6 randomized to treatment + 2 randomized to placebo) in each cohort (Total 40 HV). Additional cohorts may be added. The food effect (FE) cohort will consist of 12 participants who receive a single dose of BF844 in a cross-over manner. Each participants will receive the same single dose of BF844 under two separate conditions: one after an overnight fast, and the second following a high-fat breakfast 30 minutes prior to dosing. The MAD cohorts will consist of 3 cohorts of eight participants (6 randomized to treatment + 2 randomized to placebo) in each cohort (Total 24 HV). The subjects in MAD cohorts will be dosed once daily for 7 consecutive days. Additional cohorts may be added. For each cohort, all HV subjects will be enrolled at the same site To optimise participants safety, BF844 will be administered in a staggered manner as per protocol .
