Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of new liquid formulations of tricaprilin, with the aim of finding a suitable formulation to advance in development. This is a three-part, part-randomised study that include single-dose, food effect, and titration tolerability in up to 80 healthy participants.

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

This is a three-part study.

Part 1 (Formulation Optimisation): Participants will be assigned to all 4 different formulations of tricaprilin, with randomization to one of 4 sequences with a 2-day washout in between different formulations. There are 2 series in this part.

Part 1 (Food Effect): Participants will be administered to 1 formulation of tricaprilin. There are 2 series in this part.

Part 2 (Placebo Assessment): Participants will be randomised to 1 of 2 sequences (tricaprilin formulation - matching placebo; matching placebo - tricaprilin formulation) with a 2-day washout between periods.

Part 3 (Titration Tolerability): Participants will be administered to either tricaprilin or a matching placebo.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Part 1 (Formulation Optimisation)

Study drug administered orally after an overnight fast (minimum 8 hours). A standard breakfast will be provided 30 minutes after study drug administration. There will be 4 different formulations of the study drug and participants will be randomised to one of 4 sequences. There will be a washout of 2 days between each administration.
