A Dose Ranging Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of NI-03

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Chronic Pancreatitis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02693093
Lead Sponsor
Kangen Pharmaceuticals, Inc
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of NI-03.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the Single-Dose Phase is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of single doses of NI-03 when administered at doses of 100 mg, 200 mg or 300 mg to subjects with chronic pancreatitis.

The primary objective of the Double-Blind Phase of the study is to determine the efficacy, PK and safety of three doses of NI-03 (100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg) as compared to placebo when administered three times daily (TID) for 28 consecutive days in subjects with chronic pancreatitis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phase 1 - Safety and Tolerability - Laboratory test resultsthrough 7 days post-dose

Laboratory test results will be graded and summarized based on CTCAE v4.03. and by shifts in results before and after dosing

Phase 1 - To determine the pharmacokinetic profile for FOY251 and GBApre-dose and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters such as Maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (Tmax), minimum concentration(Cmin), area under the curve (AUC), half-life (t1/2), apparent clearance (CL/F), and apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) are assessed.
