A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DNL593 in Healthy Participants and Participants with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD-GRN)

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Frontotemporal Dementia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: DNL593
Registration Number
NCT05262023
Lead Sponsor
Denali Therapeutics Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of DNL593 in two parts followed by an optional open-label extension (OLE) period.

Part A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of single doses of DNL593 in healthy male and healthy female participants of nonchildbearing potential. Part B will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of multiple doses of DNL593 in participants with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) over 25 weeks. Part B will be followed by Part C, an optional 18-month OLE period available for all participants who complete Part B.

Inclusion Criteria

Part A:

  • Women of non-childbearing potential (surgically sterilized or post menopausal) or men, aged ≥18 to ≤ 55 years
  • BMI of ≥ 18 to ≤ 32 kg/m²
  • When engaging in sex with a woman of child bearing potential, two forms of birth control are required

Part B:

  • Women of non-childbearing potential (surgically sterilized or post menopausal) or men, aged ≥18 to ≤ 80 years. Women who are of childbearing potential but on highly effective, low user dependent contraceptive methods will be allowed.
  • BMI of ≥ 18 to ≤ 32 kg/m²
  • Have a Clinical Dementia Rating® plus National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center frontotemporal lobar degeneration global score ≥ 0.5
  • Have confirmed granulin (GRN) mutation via genetic testing or historical records available for review by investigator
  • When engaging in sex with a woman of child bearing potential, both the male participant and his female partner must use highly effective contraception

Part C:

  • All participants who completed Part B of this trial are eligible for an 18-month OLE if the participant has no unresolved clinically significant TEAEs, where continued dosing may represent a risk to participant safety.
