A Single and Multiple Ascending and Food Effect Study of RP7214, a DHODH Inhibitor in Healthy Adult Subjects

NCT ID: NCT04680429

Last Updated: 2021-08-18

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 42 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2020-12-29
• Study Completion Date: 2021-07-19

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of single and multiple ascending oral doses of RP7214. The relative bioavailability in fed and fasting conditions will also be evaluated for RP7214. The study comprises three parts; Part 1: Single ascending dose, Part 2: Multiple ascending dose and Part 3: Food effect.

Detailed Description

There are three escalating cohorts in SAD part and two escalating cohorts in MAD part. In each cohort, six eligible healthy volunteers will be randomized to receive either RP7214 or placebo in 2:1 ratio. Within each cohort, two sentinel subjects (RP7214 and Placebo) will be dosed first for assessment of safety and tolerability. The safety data of at least 48 hrs will be reviewed to confirm safety of sentinel subjects after which the remaining four subjects will be dosed. Food effect study is a randomized, 2-treatment, 2-period, 2-sequence, crossover study in 12 HVs.
