Brief Summary

This Phase 1, first-in-human, multiple dose-escalation, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is evaluating SYNB1934 in healthy volunteers (HV). Eligible subjects receive investigational product (IP) and undergo safety monitoring, evaluations, and subsequent follow-up after IP administration.

Detailed Description

This study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, kinetics, and pharmacodynamics of SYNB1934 within the following 2 study parts:

Part 1 is an inpatient, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in HV male and female subjects in up to 5 dose cohorts (6 treated: 2 placebo) for 5 days of dosing to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). During the second cohort an additional 6 treated subjects will be enrolled; all treated subjects in Cohort 2 will complete a second treatment period with SYNB1618 in a cross-over design.

Part 2 is an open-label, randomized sequence, crossover study of SYNB1934 that will be initiated after determination and selection of a well-tolerated dose in Part 1. Subjects will receive treatment with SYNB1934 with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), will complete a treatment washout period, and receive SYNB1934 treatment without a PPI. Initially 16 HV male and female subjects will be enrolled with the option of expanding Part 2 up to 60 HV subjects.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age ≥ 18 to ≤ 64 years.

2. Able and willing to voluntarily complete the informed consent process.

3. Available for and agree to all study procedures, including feces, urine, and blood collection and adherence to diet control, inpatient monitoring, follow-up visits, and compliance with all study procedures.

4. Male subjects who are sexually abstinent or surgically sterilized (vasectomy), or those who are sexually active with a female partner(s) and agree to use an acceptable method of contraception (such as a condom with spermicide) combined with an acceptable method of contraception for their non-pregnant female partner(s) (as defined in Inclusion Criterion # 5) after informed consent, throughout the study, and for a minimum of 3 months after the last dose of IMP, and who do not intend to donate sperm in the period from Screening until 3 months following administration of the IMP.

5. Female subjects who meet 1 of the following:

1. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test (human chorionic gonadotropin) at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline prior to the start of IMP and must agree to use acceptable method(s) of contraception, combined with an acceptable method of contraception for their male partner(s) (as defined in Inclusion Criterion # 4) after informed consent, throughout the study and for a minimum of 3 months after the last dose of IMP. Acceptable methods of contraception include hormonal contraception, hormonal or non-hormonal intrauterine device, bilateral tubal occlusion, complete abstinence, vasectomized partner with documented azoospermia 3 months after procedure, diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap with spermicide, vaginal sponge with spermicide, or male or female condom with or without spermicide.
