Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of LTI-03 in Healthy Adult Subjects

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04233814
Lead Sponsor
Lung Therapeutics, Inc
Brief Summary

The current study will investigate the initial safety, tolerability, and PK profile of inhaled LTI-03 in healthy volunteers. In order to minimize exposure, the study will first test single ascending doses (SAD) of LTI-03 followed by multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts.

Findings from this study will direct the clinical development of LTI-03 for the treatment of IPF

The study subject population will include normal healthy male and female volunteers between 18 and 55 years of age (inclusive).

Consistent with other trials involving inhaled medication, subjects must have normal pulmonary function at Screening and will be excluded if they have a history of active or recurring allergies, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic sinus drainage, chronic or acute cough or other respiratory condition deemed exclusionary by the Investigator. History of liver dysfunction or elevated bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) values at Screening will also be grounds for exclusion.

  4. History of significant allergy or anaphylaxis

  5. Any clinically significant hematologic, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic or allergic disease (excluding hay fever), as determined by the Investigator or designee

  6. Any current clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, complete physical examination including blood pressure and heart rate measurement, and clinical laboratory tests (hematology, coagulation, urinalysis, clinical chemistries) at Screening or Day -1, as determined by the Investigator or designee

  7. Any clinically significant illness and/or surgery within 28 days prior to dosing

  8. Febrile illness within 7 days prior to dosing

  9. Weight loss > 5 kg within 28 days prior to dosing

  11. History of, or existing severe, acute, chronic, and/or psychiatric medical condition(s), laboratory abnormality, or other medical concerns that may increase the risk associated with study participation or IMP administration which, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into the study

  18. Positive test results for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV-1/HIV-2 antibodies, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG) or hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV-AB) Concurrent Intake of Other Substances

  19. History of alcohol abuse within one year prior to Screening or regular use of alcohol of ≥ 14 units of alcohol per week for females and ≥ 21 units of alcohol for males (1 unit = 150 mL wine, 360 mL beer or 45 mL of 40% alcohol) within 6 months prior to dosing or a positive urine alcohol test at Screening or Day -1

  22. Exposure to any live vaccines within 28 days prior to dosing

  23. Treatment with an investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to dosing

  24. Use of prescription or non-prescription medications and dietary supplements within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication. Herbal supplements must be discontinued 28 days prior to dosing. Approved medications taken for contraception are permitted.

  25. Positive serum pregnancy test in female subjects

  26. Female subjects who are lactating

  27. Female subjects of childbearing potential (FOCBP) and men with partners of childbearing potential who do not agree to use an acceptable form of contraception for the duration of study treatment and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study medication. Male subjects who do not agree to refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
