- Visceral LeishmaniasisCutaneous Leishmaniases
- Interventions
- Drug: Placebo of DNDI-0690
- Registration Number
- NCT03929016

- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate how the test medicine DNDI-0690 is taken up and broken down by the body and will also look at the safety and tolerability of the test medicine after a single dose. This is the first time the test medicine DNDI-0690 will be administered to humans.
- Detailed Description
DNDI-0690 is intended to be used as oral treatment for Visceral Leishmaniasis with potential for the cutaneous form of the disease, Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. The present protocol describes the first-in-human (FIH) study with DNDI-0690.

Subjects with Gilbert's syndrome are allowed
- Confirmed positive drugs of abuse test result
- Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) results
- Evidence of renal impairment at screening or admission, as indicated by an estimated creatinine clearance (CLcr) of <80 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
- History of clinically significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, neurological (especially seizures), immunological, psychiatric, myopathies, bleeding tendency, respiratory and particularly gastrointestinal (GI) disease, especially peptic ulceration and chronic gastritis, GI bleeding, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, as judged by the investigator
- History of additional risk factors for Torsades des Pointe (eg heart failure, hypokalaemia, family history of long QT syndrome)
- Rare hereditary problems of fructose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption or sucrose-isomaltase insufficiency
- Any relevant GI complaints within 7 days of dosing
- Subjects with a history of cholecystectomy or gall stones (Cohort 7 only)
