Recruiting

• Conditions: Hereditary Angioedema
• Interventions: Drug: Placebo; Drug: ADX-324

• Registration Number: NCT05691361
• Lead Sponsor: ADARx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Brief Summary

The first-in-human Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ADX-324 in healthy volunteers (HV) and in patients with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).

Detailed Description

The clinical study described in this protocol is a Phase 1, single-center study evaluating safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of ADX-324.

The study consists of 2 parts:

* Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, single ascending dose (SAD) in HV with up to 6 dose cohorts. For SAD cohorts and planned dosing; and,

* Expansion cohort in participants with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) at selected dose from Part A and will be open label.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
PART A- Placebo administered to HV	Placebo	For each cohort in Part A (SAD), 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio; 6 participants to active (ADX-324): 2 participants to control (matched placebo). Randomization will be on Day 1. Initially, 2 sentinel participants (1 active and 1 placebo) will be randomized and dosed. The sentinel participants will be evaluated for safety. The investigator's assessment and the independent medical monitor will decide upon the randomization and dosing of the 6 remaining participants (5 active and 1 placebo) according to the randomization schedule.
PART B - ADX-324 administered to HAE participants	ADX-324	This will be initiated at the dose level determined by the Safety Review Committee from SAD in HVs. The treatment of HAE participants is an open-label study.
PART A - Active ADX-324 administered to HV	ADX-324	For each cohort in Part A (SAD), 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio; 6 participants to active (ADX-324): 2 participants to control (matched placebo). Randomization will be on Day 1. Initially, 2 sentinel participants (1 active and 1 placebo) will be randomized and dosed. The sentinel participants will be evaluated for safety. The investigator's assessment and the independent medical monitor will decide upon the randomization and dosing of the 6 remaining participants (5 active and 1 placebo) according to the randomization schedule.
