简要总结
This is a safety study of the molecule VU319 to ascertain pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data and test cognitive enhancement in healthy volunteers.
详细描述
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a chronic and irreversible neurodegenerative disease characterized by the deterioration of memory and other cognitive functions, progressive impairments in normal daily living, and severe neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral disturbances1,2. Currently, there is no available prevention or cure for AD. Therapeutic strategies for the cognitive impairments in AD involve only symptomatic treatments, primarily through enhancement of cholinergic neurotransmission using AChEIs1,2.
This first trial will be First-in-Human single ascending dose (SAD) phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers. One dose will be selected for expansion and evaluation of the effect of food on bioavailability. This Phase I trial, if successful, would serve as the basis for the design of multiple ascending dose (MAD) Phase I trial.
Primary objectives To establish the safety and tolerability of single dose (up to VU319 steady state) VU319 administration in healthy volunteers To establish the maximum tolerated dose of single dose (up to VU319 steady state) VU319 administration in healthy volunteers To characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics and urinary excretion of VU319 and metabolite after single dose oral administration in healthy volunteers Secondary objectives To establish the effect of food on the bioavailability and pharmacokinetic parameters of VU319 in healthy volunteers Exploratory Objectives To gain preliminary evidence that tolerable doses of VU319 engage central M1 receptors by 1) altering/enhancing cognitive performance, and 2) enhancing cortical event related potentials (ERP) as a measure of increased cognitive function in healthy volunteers This will be a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, and sequential dose escalation in male or female healthy volunteers. Gender will be balanced to the extent possible. Volunteers will receive oral VU319 single dose administration in the fasted state. Subjects meeting entry criteria will be enrolled in successive dose escalating cohorts of 8 subjects each (2 placebo and 6 active drug per dose level). The dose levels will be tested sequentially until the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) is reached, or saturation of exposure occurs, or sustained VU319 plasma level above the safe daily exposure determined from animal toxicokinetic studies is achieved.
The food effect sequence will be double blind, placebo controlled, two sequences, balanced and sequential cross-over in 12 healthy male or female volunteers (2 placebo and 10 active drug). Volunteers will receive oral VU319 single dose administration repeated once under either the fed (i.e. high fatty meal per FDA recommendations) or fasted state. The order of the two periods will be randomized and balanced with 6 subjects receiving treatment in the fed/fast or fast/fed order, respectively.
Clinical safety endpoints include adverse event and symptoms data, vital signs (HR, BP, Respiratory Rate, body weight), 12-lead ECG changes, and laboratory safety assessments (hematology, plasma biochemistry, coagulation, urinalysis).
