Brief Summary

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

This study will be conducted to assess safety, tolerability, and PK of CT-044 HCl in normal healthy volunteers, in a traditional sequential multiple ascending dose paradigm. The multiple-dose escalation is designed to mimic the manner in which the product (CT-044 HCl) would be used to manage ongoing pain in patients (i.e., multiple dosing).

Detailed Description

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

Subjects meeting all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized to receive CT-044 HCl or placebo in three successive dose escalating cohorts of 8 subjects each (2 placebo and 6 active drug per dose level). Subjects will receive multiple oral CT-044 HCl doses for 7 days. Subjects will be monitored in-house for vital signs, physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), safety laboratory testing and documentation of adverse signs and symptoms. Serial blood and urine samples will be collected to evaluate CT-044 HCl levels in plasma and urine.

Eligible subjects will be admitted to the Clinical Trial Unit on the day prior to dosing (Day -1) and remain in house until Day 9 (discharge day). Subjects will return to the Clinical Trial Unit on an outpatient basis for follow-up (Day 13, ± 1 day).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

The study is planned to have 3 dose levels (3 study cohorts); the actual dose level cohorts will be decided by the SRC after review of the data from each cohort that was successfully completed in the SAD study. Each dose cohort will include 8 subjects randomized to placebo (2 subjects) or active drug (6 subjects).

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Investigators
Subjects will be assigned a randomization number prior to dosing on Day 1 in the order in which they are enrolled into the study to receive their allocated treatment according to a computer-generated randomization schedule prepared by the unblinded study statistician prior to the start of the study.
