Brief Summary

A Phase 1, Partially Blind, Placebo Controlled, Randomized, Combined Single Ascending Dose with a Food Effect Cohort (Part 1) and Multiple Ascending Dose Study (Part 2) Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TBAJ-876 in Healthy Adult Subjects

Detailed Description

This study is a two-part, partially blinded, placebo controlled, combined single ascending dose (SAD) with food-effect and multiple ascending dose (MAD) study conducted in one study center in the United States.

Safety will be assessed throughout the study for all subjects. Safety assessments will include physical examinations, vital signs, serial ECGs, cardiac monitoring, adverse events (AEs), and clinical laboratory tests (including hematology, serum chemistry, coagulation, and urinalysis).

Note: Lab results within the testing facility's normal range will not be considered AEs when referenced to the DMID assessment/grading scale. If exclusionary lab criteria are met, values may be confirmed by repeat evaluation.

5. Has not used tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (including smoking cessation products), for a minimum of 6 months before dosing.

6. If female of non-childbearing potential, she has undergone one of the following sterilization procedures at least 6 months before dosing:

   • Hysterectomy; or
   • Bilateral oophorectomy;
   • Or is postmenopausal with amenorrhea for at least 1 year before the first dose with serum FSH levels consistent with postmenopausal status (i.e., greater than 40 mIU/mL) at screening.

7. If female of childbearing potential, must be using effective birth control methods, as defined below and is willing to continue practicing birth control methods and not planning to conceive throughout treatment and for 12 weeks (male participants) or 6 weeks (female participants) after the last dose of trial medication. The following are allowed birth control methods for this study:

   • Double barrier method (e.g., diaphragm with spermicide; condoms with spermicide);
   • Intrauterine device (IUD);
   • Abstinence (and must agree to use a double barrier method if they become sexually active during the study);
   • Vasectomized partner (at least 6 months before dosing);
   • Non-surgical permanent sterilization (e.g., Essure® procedure) at least 3 months before dosing;
   • Implanted or intrauterine hormonal contraceptives in use for at least 6 consecutive months before study dosing; and/or

8. If a non-vasectomized male (or male vasectomized less than 120 days prior to study start) he must agree to the following during study participation and for 90 days after the last administration of study drug:

   • Use a condom with spermicide while engaging in sexual activity or be sexually abstinent; and
   • Not donate sperm during this time. In the event the sexual partner is surgically sterile or postmenopausal, use of a condom with spermicide is not necessary. None of the birth control restrictions listed above are required for vasectomized males whose procedure was performed more than 120 days before study start.

9. Is willing to answer inclusion and exclusion criteria questionnaire at check-in.

10. Is able to comply with the protocol and the assessments therein, including all restrictions.
