NCT ID: NCT02847325

Last Updated: 2019-02-28

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 56 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2016-05-31

Brief Summary

AC0058TA is a small molecule compound that potently, selectively and irreversibly inhibits Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) phosphorylation and downstream signals, resulting in inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production in monocytes and inhibition of lymphocyte activation (predominantly B-cell activation) in the preclinical studies. The nonclinical program has demonstrated that AC0058TA has the potential to interfere with signaling functions mediated by tyrosine kinases and may be useful for controlling excessive or aberrant T- and B-cell activation in autoimmune diseases.

As an investigational targeted therapy for RA and SLE, AC0058TA is expected to address the unmet need of this patient population, for whom there are currently no effected therapies and there is a great unmet medical need, AC0058TA may inhibit the key pathway which involves the disease process.

Detailed Description

This is a 2-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose-escalation (Part 1) and multiple-dose-escalation (Part 2) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of AC0058TA administered orally to healthy subjects. Part 1 of the study will also to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of AC0058TA.

• Has clinically significant findings as determined by the Investigator (eg, medical history, 12-lead ECG, vital signs, or clinical laboratory evaluations;
• Has participated in any other investigational drug trial in which receipt of an investigational drug (new chemical entity) occurred within 5 half-lives of the respective study drug or 30 days prior to Check-in, whichever is longer;
• Has used any medications/products, including St. John's Wort, known to alter drug absorption or elimination processes within 30 days prior to Check-in, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator;
• Has used any prescription medications/products not discussed in another exclusion criterion within 14 days prior to Check-in, unless deemed acceptable by the Investigator;
