Study Overview

Brief Summary

WD-1603 contains two different drugs called levodopa and carbidopa in one tablet. The goal of this clinical trial is to see if taking the study drug WD-1603 at different time intervals affects how the drug acts in healthy volunteers. We also want to learn about the safety of WD-1603.

The main question we want to answer is:

How does the body process WD-1603 when it is taken by different time intervals? What will participants do?
Participants will take one tablet of WD-1603 twice a day on three separate days.
On each dosing day, the two doses will be spaced different hours apart.
Between each dosing day, there will be a rest period of up to 7 days.

Detailed Description

This trial is a multiple-dose, open-label, sequential, three-period pharmacokinetic study comparing different dosing intervals of WD-1603 in healthy participants.

The purpose of the study is:

To evaluate the effect of different dosing intervals on the pharmacokinetics of twice-daily WD-1603 when administered before meals.
To assess the safety and tolerability of WD-1603 in healthy participants. Each participant will receive the investigational drug in the sequence of Treatment A, Treatment B, and Treatment C. After each dosing period, there will be a washout period of up to 7 days.

This Phase I clinical trial is planned to enroll 12 healthy participants, with an appropriate proportion of female participants (at least one quarter, i.e., 3 participants).

Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated using Phoenix WinNonlin (version 8.3 or higher), and other analyses will be performed using SAS software (version 9.4 or higher). Using PKS, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed on the natural log-transformed Cmax, AUC0-τ, and ΔC0.5. The model includes dosing occasion as a fixed effect and participant as a random effect. The 90% confidence interval for the geometric mean ratio (second dose/first dose) of each parameter is calculated.

•Body weight: male ≥ 50 kg, female ≥ 45 kg; body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 27 kg/m² (inclusive) (BMI = weight [kg] / height² [m²]).
•Medical history inquiry, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests (complete blood count, urinalysis, blood biochemistry, serological virology tests, coagulation function), 12-lead ECG, intraocular pressure measurement, abdominal ultrasound, and chest X-ray during the screening period are all within normal ranges or clinically insignificant if outside normal ranges.
•Participants (including their spouses or partners) have no plans for conception or for donating sperm/eggs from the time of signing the ICF (for females)/first dosing (for males) until 3 months after the last dose, and voluntarily agree to use effective non-pharmacological contraception during the trial period.
•Fully understand the trial content, procedures, and potential adverse reactions, voluntarily agree to participate, and sign the ICF before any trial-related procedures begin.
•Able to communicate well with the investigators and capable of understanding and complying with the requirements of this trial.

Exclusion Criteria

•Allergy-prone constitution, history of allergic diseases, or known severe allergic reaction or allergy history to levodopa/carbidopa or related medications.

•History of glaucoma, cancer, diabetes mellitus, bronchial asthma, or any clinically significant cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, hematological, dermatological, endocrine, neuropsychiatric diseases, or other significant conditions.
•Dysphagia or any condition that may affect drug absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, cholecystectomy, gastric bypass, duodenotomy, colectomy), or gastrointestinal diseases causing clinically significant symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or malabsorption syndrome.
•History of orthostatic hypotension.
•Any relevant medical history, surgical history, or trauma within 3 months prior to the first dose that may affect trial safety or drug pharmacokinetics, or planned surgery during the trial period.
•Use of prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, health products, Chinese herbal medicines, or dietary supplements within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, especially monoamine oxidase inhibitors (e.g., phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, brofaromine, toloxatone, isocarboxazid, etc.).

•History of prolonged QT interval or other clinically significant cardiac diseases, or QTcF ≥ 450 ms on ECG during screening.
