Relative Bioavailability and Food Effect Study of CVN424

Phase 1

Completed

Conditions: Parkinson's Disease

Interventions: Drug: CVN424

Registration Number: NCT05635461

Lead Sponsor: Cerevance Beta, Inc.

Brief Summary: This is a Randomized, Open-Label, Single Oral Dose, Three-Way Cross-Over Trial to Evaluate the Relative Bioavailability of CVN424 Suspension and Tablet Formulations in Healthy Volunteers Under Fasted and Fed Conditions.

Detailed Description: 32 healthy male or female participants will be enrolled in 1 of 6 sequences (designated as 1 through 6, respectively) in an ascending fashion. Sequences 1, 3, 4, and 5 will have 5 participants each, and Sequences 2 and 6 will have 6 participants each.

Each sequence will proceed through the three cross-overs (suspension-fasted, tablet-fed, and tablet-fasted) according to the schematic, with dosing to occur on Days 1 of Periods 1, 2, and 3. Participants in the fasted portion of each sequence will be dosed under overnight fasted conditions and will remain fasted for 4 hours post-dose. Water consumption is permitted as desired except for 1 hour before and after administration of the Study Drug.

To assess the effect of food on CVN424 bioavailability in tablet formulation, the single dose will be administered after ingestion of a standardized high-fat, high-calorie meal according to FDA Guidance for Industry (Food-effect bioavailability and fed bioequivalence studies, Jun 2022).

Participants for all sequences will be admitted to the study unit 1 day prior to dosing and remain in the unit for safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) assessments through 96 hours post-dose. The total confinement period will be 5 nights for each period unless extended at the discretion of the Investigator, e.g., for monitoring and/or management of adverse events (AEs).

Once 96-hour post-dose PK has been collected, participants will be discharged from the unit for the remainder of the washout period and return the day prior for their next scheduled dosing period
