Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple intravenous doses of SPR206 when administered to healthy adult volunteers.

Detailed Description

This Phase 1 First in Human study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple intravenous doses of SPR206 when administered to healthy adult volunteers. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending dose, multi-cohort trial. A total of 104 healthy volunteers will be enrolled in 13 cohorts. The study will be conducted in two phases: A single ascending dose (SAD) phase, followed by a multiple ascending dose (MAD) phase. In SAD, participants in Cohorts 1 - 8 will receive one dose of SPR206 or placebo. In MAD, participants in Cohorts 9 - 12 will receive multiple doses of SPR206 or placebo for 7 consecutive days, and a final cohort, Cohort 13, will receive multiple doses of SPR206 or placebo for 14 consecutive days at a dose deemed safe and tolerable and not to exceed the maximum dose administered to participants in Cohorts 9 - 12. In both parts sequential cohorts will be exposed to increasing doses of SPR206.

• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: QUADRUPLE

Study Groups

SPR206

SAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive single doses of SPR206 via IV infusion over one hour. Planned doses to be studied are: 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 350 and 400mg. If the 300 mg dose is not deemed safe and well-tolerated, a dose of 250 mg will be used.

MAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive SPR206 via IV infusion over one hour q8h for 7 consecutive days (Cohorts 9 - 12) and over one hour q8h for 14 consecutive days (Cohort 13). Up to five dose groups will be studied. Planned doses will be 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg with dosing occurring q8h for 7 consecutive days (Cohorts 9 - 12) and q8h for 14 consecutive days (Cohort 13). Cohort 13 participants will be dosed at a dose deemed safe and tolerable, not to exceed the maximum dose tested in previous MAD dose cohorts.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

SPR206

Intervention Type: DRUG

SAD Cohorts: Double-blind dosing will occur in Cohorts 1 - 8. Six participants will receive single doses of SPR206. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort.

MAD Cohorts: Double blind dosing will occur in Cohorts 9 - 13. Six participants in each cohort will receive multiple doses of SPR206. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort. Dosing will commence on the morning of Day 1. Three doses will be administered per day at approximately 8 hours apart. Daily dosing will continue for a total of 7 consecutive days for Cohorts 9 - 12 and for a total of 14 consecutive days for Cohort 13.

Placebo

The placebo used during this study is normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride for injection).

SAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive single infusions of placebo (0.9% sodium chloride for injection) over one hour.

MAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive q8h infusions of placebo over 1 hour for 7 consecutive days (Cohorts 9 - 12) and q8h infusions of placebo over 1 hour for 14 consecutive days (Cohort 13).

Group Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type: DRUG

0.9% sodium chloride for injection. SAD Cohorts: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo. MAD Cohorts: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Healthy adult males and/or females (of non-childbearing potential), 18 to 55 years of age (inclusive) at the time of screening.

2. BMI ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 29.9 (kg/m2) and weight between 55.0 and 100.0 kg (inclusive) for all cohorts;

3. Medically healthy without clinically significant abnormalities at the screening visit or Day -1, including:

1. Physical examination (PE) and vital signs including temperature, pulse, respiratory rate, and blood pressure;

2. Triplicate electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken at least 1 minute apart with QTcF interval duration less than 450 msec obtained as an average from the triplicate screening and pre-dose Day 1 ECGs after at least 5 min in a semi-supine quiet rest;

3. Hemoglobin/hematocrit, white blood cell (WBC) count, and platelet count equal to or greater than the lower limit of normal range of the reference laboratory;

4. Serum creatinine and bilirubin (total and conjugated) equal equal to or less than the upper limit of normal for the reference laboratory. Serum urea, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) equal to or less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for the reference laboratory; results of all other clinical chemistry and urine analytes without any clinically significant abnormality.

Discussion between the PI and the Medical Monitor (MM) is encouraged regarding the potential significance of any laboratory value that is outside of the normal range during the pre-dose period.

10. Participation in a New Chemical Entity clinical study within the previous 3 months or a marketed drug clinical study within the 30 days before the first dose of IMP. (Washout period between studies is defined as the period of time elapsed between the last dose of the previous study and the first dose of the next study);

11. Any other condition or prior therapy, which, in the opinion of the PI, would make the volunteer unsuitable for this study, including unable to cooperate fully with the requirements of the study protocol or likely to be non-compliant with any study requirements.
