Multiple-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety/Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of FP-045

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers
• Interventions: Drug: Cohort 1 - FP-045 oral solution; Drug: Placebo (for FP-045 oral solution); Drug: Cohort 2 - FP-045 oral solution; Drug: Cohort 3 - FP-045 oral solution

• Registration Number: NCT03686930
• Lead Sponsor: Foresee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.

Brief Summary

Phase I, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose (MAD), study to evaluate the safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of FP-045 administered to normal health volunteers (NHVs). 3 cohorts of NHVs will be enrolled. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized to orally receive either FP-045 (6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). Subjects will receive 7 daily doses of study drug.

Subjects will be screened for study eligibility within 21 days before Day 1 and will have been admitted to the CRU on Day -1 to confirm eligibility and to undergo baseline assessments. Subjects will remain in the CRU for observation until completion of all assessments on Day 10. Subjects will return to the CRU on Day 11 for an additional PK sample, and again for an end of study (EOS) Visit on Day 14 (±2 days) for safety evaluations and collection of PK samples.
