Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy male subjects. The study will include the following 2 parts:
- Part A: Single Ascending Dose (SAD) in healthy male subjects
- Part B: Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) in healthy male subjects
Detailed Description
Study Rationale: FTX-101 is a first-in-class, synthetic peptide with a novel mechanism of action designed to promote the self-repair of myelin. FTX-101 is a highly selective modulator of the PlexinA1/Neuropilin 1 receptor system and displays no significant activity on any other target. FTX-101 interferes with the heterodimerization of the coreceptor system and, ultimately, with the activation of second messenger signaling pathways shown to inhibit both the differentiation and migration of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and oligodendrocytes (OLs). Through this mechanism, FTX-101 disinhibits both the differentiation of OPCs to OLs and migration of OPCs into lesions, favorably promoting the remyelination process. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of single ascending doses and multiple ascending doses of FTX-101 subcutaneous injection in healthy male subjects. The study will characterize the pharmacokinetics of FTX-101 following SAD and MAD SC injection of FTX-101. The study will also evaluate the immunogenic potential of FTX-101 and will also explore the relationship between FTX-101 concentration and the change from baseline corrected QT interval. Detailed Description: This is a Phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy male subjects. The study will include the following 2 parts: * Part A: SAD in healthy male subjects * Part B: MAD in healthy male subjects Part A - SAD: Part A consists of 5 planned cohorts (A1 to A5) of 8 healthy adult male subjects each. An additional SAD intermediate (lower) or equivalent dose cohort (A6) of 8 male subjects may be added at the discretion of the Sponsor. In each cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive a single subcutaneous (SC) dose (as 1, 2 or 4 injection\[s\]) of either FTX-101 or placebo in a 3:1 (FTX-101: placebo) ratio to have a total of 6 subjects receiving FTX-101 and 2 subjects receiving placebo. Part B - MAD: Part B consists of 3 planned cohorts (B1 to B3) of 8 healthy adult male subjects each. An additional MAD cohort (B4) of 8 male subjects may be added at the discretion of the Sponsor depending on emerging safety and plasma PK data from the previous cohort(s). The proposed dosing regimen (dose level and frequency) for the first cohort (B1) in Part B (MAD) will be based on available safety, tolerability, and PK data from Part A (SAD). The dosing regimens for each subsequent cohort in Part B will be determined based on the available blinded safety, tolerability, and PK data from Part A and any previous cohorts in Part B. In each cohort, subjects will be randomized to receive multiple SC doses of either FTX-101 or placebo in a 3:1 (FTX-101: placebo) ratio to have a total of 6 subjects receiving FTX-101 and 2 subjects receiving placebo.
