NCT ID: NCT01425450

Last Updated: 2011-10-31

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 32 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2011-07-31
• Study Completion Date: 2011-10-31

Brief Summary

The study aims to:

• study the safety of the drug (HF1020) in healthy male adults
• study how well the study drug (HF1020) is tolerated in healthy male adults
• find the maximum dose that is tolerated in healthy male adults

Detailed Description

This is a single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending dose study.

Male subjects will be randomised to give a total of 32 evaluable subjects.

Subjects will be sequentially enrolled into 4 cohorts of ascending dose.

Subjects in Cohort 1 will be randomised to receive 0.5 milligrams (mg) HF1020 or placebo (ratio 3:1). When at least 8 subjects within the cohort have completed Day 2 procedures (i.e. Day 1 + 24 hours) and all ongoing subjects have completed the final Day 15 visit, a Safety Review Committee (SRC) will meet, review all safety data prior to dose escalation to the next cohort.

Subjects in Cohort 2 will be randomised to receive 2.5 mg HF1020 or placebo.

Subjects in Cohort 3 will be randomised to receive 10mg HF1020 or placebo.

Subjects in Cohort 4 will be randomised to receive 25mg HF1020 or placebo.
