Abstract

A Phase 1, Partially-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Include A Single Dose Food-Effect Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and the PK Profile of TBI-223 in Healthy Subjects

This study was a partially-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized multiple ascending dose (MAD) study conducted at one study center. Cohorts 1 (1800 mg) and 2 (2400mg) began dosing of TBI-223 or placebo on Day 1 under fasted conditions, followed by a 3-day washout period and then by multiple doses of TBI-223 administered after a high-calorie, high-fat meal (Fed) from Day 4 through Day 17 (total of 14 days). Cohort 1 subjects only received slow-release formulations (SR1) tablets and Cohort 2 subjects received a combination of SR1 tablets with one immediate-release (IR) tablet. Cohort 3 with higher doses was planned in the protocol but as allowed by the protocol, a decision was made to halt the study after the second cohort due to mean Cmax and AUC0-24 after 14 days of dosing at 2400 mg in the second cohort exceeded values that were predicted to be achieved at 3000 mg in the third cohort.

Safety was assessed throughout the study for all subjects. Safety assessments included physical and detailed neurological examinations, vital signs (blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR), respiration rate, temperature, and pulse oximetry), 12-lead electrocardiograms (12-lead ECGs), cardiac monitoring, adverse events (AEs), and clinical laboratory tests (including hematology, serology, serum chemistry, coagulation, and urinalysis).
