JKN2306 in Healthy Subjects: Single Ascending Dose and Food Effect Study

Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Industry Co., Ltd44 enrolled

Overview

This first-in-human, single-center study in China evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of JKN2306 tablets in healthy adult subjects and assessed the effect of a high-fat, high-calorie meal on the pharmacokinetics of JKN2306.

The study consisted of a single ascending dose (SAD) part and a food effect (FE) part. The SAD part was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with five dose cohorts (10 mg, 30 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg). The FE assessment was conducted sequentially in subjects participating in the 200 mg cohort using two dosing periods separated by a washout; dosing was performed under fasting conditions in Period 1 and under fed conditions (high-fat, high-calorie meal) in Period 2. Pharmacokinetic sampling and safety assessments were performed per protocol, and exploratory assessments included concentration-QTc analysis and metabolite profiling.

Primary Outcomes

Safety and tolerability of single oral doses of JKN2306

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE V5.0. An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatmentemergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.
