Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase 2A, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single dose, sequential group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of PB2452 vs matching placebo with ticagrelor (with or without acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)) pretreatment when various dose levels and administration regimens are administered to healthy younger (ages 18 to 50), older (ages 50 to 64 years) and elderly (ages 65 to 80 years) male and female subjects.

Up to 5 dose levels and/or administration regimens will be evaluated in up to 5 cohorts. Each cohort will include approximately 8 to 12 subjects randomized in a 3:1 ratio (PB2452:placebo).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study will consist of a Screening period, a Check-in day and Pretreatment Period, an on-site Randomization/Treatment day, 3 days on-site for treatment and safety monitoring, a Follow-up Visit (Day 7), and a Final Follow-up visit (Day 28). Seven days prior to Randomization, subjects in Cohorts 1 and 2 will be administered acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 81 mg orally once daily (QD) until the final dose on the morning of Day 1 before receiving study drug. A ticagrelor 180 mg oral dose will be administered on the morning of Day -2 followed by either 90 mg or 180 mg every 12 hours (BID) until the 5th dose has been administered on the morning of Day 1.

On Day 1, subjects who meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized in a ratio 3:1 (PB2452:placebo), to receive an IV dose of PB2452 or placebo 2 hours following the 5th ticagrelor dose. Subjects may be discharged from the clinical site between Days 3 and 7 inclusive and will return for a Follow-up visit on Day 7, if already discharged, and on Day 28 (±2 days).
