Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PBI-4547 in healthy adult participants.

Detailed Description

This is a first-in-human, single-ascending dose study of PBI-4547 in healthy adult participants. PBI-4547 is a synthetic ligand of G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)40 and GPR84, which have been reported to play a role in fibrosis in various animal models as well as in tissue culture.

A total of 40 healthy adult participants will sequentially receive 1 of 5 doses of PBI-4547 (Dose1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) or matching placebo, with each cohort of 8 participants randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive PBI-4547 or matching placebo.

A food-effect cohort will be added after review of the PK results of at least the first dose, and the following 2 doses, if needed. In this cohort participants will initially receive the study drug under fasting conditions (Period 1) followed by the same dose after the ingestion of a high-fat meal (Period 2) after a 14-day washout period.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with clinically significant laboratory evaluation findings5-6 days

Laboratory tests for hematology, serum chemistry and urinalysis will be performed upon admission, at discharge, and at the follow-up visit (5 ± 1 day post-dose).

Number of participants with clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings5-6 days

Triplicate ECG will be performed upon admission, pre-dose, and approximately 1, 2, 8, and 24 hours post-dose, and at the follow-up visit (5 ± 1 day post-dose). Subjects will be continuously monitored using a Holter monitor from approximately 1 hour pre-dose until approximately 24 hours post-dose.

Number of participants with physical examination findings5-6 days

Brief physical examination will be conducted upon admission and at discharge. A complete physical examination will be conducted at screening and follow-up visit.

Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)5-6 days

TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who has been administered a pharmaceutical product or not, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of participants with clinically significant vital sign findings5-6 days

Vital signs include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oral body temperature will be measured upon admission, before discharge from the clinic and at the follow-up visit (5 ± 1 day post-dose).
