Overview

Brief Summary

This is a phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, single- and multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate new study intervention, PS1. PS1 is a potential blood glucose control medication, which is developed by Pharmasaga Co. Ltd. planned for treating type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), food effect and potential efficacy of PS1 in subjects.

Detailed Description

This first-in-human Phase I study consists of a single ascending-dose (SAD) portion, a food effect (FE) portion, and a multiple ascending-dose (MAD) portion, aiming to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, food effect and potential efficacy of PS1 in healthy subjects. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study design will be applied for the SAD portion with three SAD dose cohorts-25 mg (Cohort 1), 50 mg (Cohort 2), and 75 mg (Cohort 3). An eligible subject in this portion will receive a single dose of PS1 or Placebo tablets in a fed condition on Day 1 and be followed for 7 days. In FE portion, only one cohort (Cohort 4) is assigned. The FE cohort (Cohort 4) will use the same study design as the SAD cohorts. An eligible subject in this portion will receive a single dose of 50 mg PS1 or Placebo tablets in a fasted condition on Day 1 and be followed for 7 days. Four cohorts are assigned in the MAD portion: 25 mg/day (Cohort 5 \& 7) and 50 mg/day (Cohort 6 \& 8) in healthy volunteers and participants respectively. Only the dose level of MAD lower than the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SAD portion can be activated (If 50 mg was determined as the MTD of SAD, only cohort 5 \& 7 could be activated). An eligible subject will receive PS1 or Placebo tablets once daily in a fed condition for 14 days \& 28 days in healthy volunteers and participants respectively and be followed for additional 7 days.

Inclusion Criteria

  • For all cohorts, a subject is eligible for the study if all of the following apply:
  • Both genders aged 18 to 80 years, inclusive at screening
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 40.0 kg/m2
  • Negative test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Anti-HCV antibody, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at screening
  • Is willing to follow the trial life style instruction and protocol procedure
  • Able to understand and sign the informed consent form.
  • Inclusion criteria applied for healthy subjects (Cohorts 1\~6)
  • Overtly healthy subject, who is considered to be generally healthy based on medical history, vital signs, laboratory tests, 12-lead EKG, and physical examination, as judged by the investigator
  • With HbA1c value of \< 6.5% and fasting plasma glucose \< 110 mg/dL at Screening
  • With estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \> 80 ml/min

Exclusion Criteria

  • For all cohorts, a subject meeting any of the following exclusion criteria will be excluded from study participation.
  • History of Type I diabetes mellitus
  • Under the systemic treatment of any prescription medication or over-the-counter (OTC) medication that may interfere with the safety or PK assessment judged by the investigator within 7 days before Screening
  • Received strong CYP enzyme inhibitor or inducer within 14 days before Screening
  • Received any vaccination within 14 days before Screening
  • Has required insulin therapy within the past 12 weeks
  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of PS1 tablet
  • History of major clinically significant hematological, renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurological, musculoskeletal, immune, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies at the time of dosing) within 3 months of Screening that may significantly alter the biomarker panel, require receiving any systemic medications, or interfere with the interpretation of data, as judged by the investigator
  • History of pancreatitis
  • Serum amylase \> 1.5 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) or lipase \> 1.5 × ULN
