Brief Summary

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

This is the second single ascending dose study of L608 in healthy participants and is being conducted to evaluate the safety of L608 with dose level ranging from 15 μg to 30 μg.

Detailed Description

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

L608 inhalation Suspension (L608) is developed by Pharmosa Biopharm Inc. (PBI) as a new liposomal Iloprost formulation for inhalation use in the treatment of patients with WHO Group 1 PAH. As a liposomal formulation of iloprost, L608 is intended to reduce the dosing frequency, as well as provide sustained and selective release along with achieving therapeutically relevant iloprost level. Meanwhile, L608 is expected to mitigate burst release related local irritation and systemic side effects (e.g., hypotension due to plasma peak) in clinical practice.

This Phase I, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in healthy participants in New Zealand to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic of L608. The dose escalation design is applied in this study. The sentinel dosing design will be applied for all cohorts.

Participants Investigators
This is a double-blinded, single ascending dose escalation design. After confirmation of eligibility, subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1 (for sentinel dosing) followed by 5:1 for rest of the cohorts to receive the assigned dose of L608 or placebo.

8. Consumption of products containing caffeine/methylxanthines, poppy seeds and/or alcohol within 48 hours before dosing and products containing grapefruit and/or pomelo (shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 \[CYP\] 3A4 activity) within 10 days prior to drug administration, and/or participants unwilling to refrain from consumption of alcohol from 48 hours before dosing to Day 14.
9. Receipt of blood products within 2 months prior to dosing.
10. Positive results of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and pregnancy test.
11. Blood donation or significant blood loss (\>480 ml) within 3 months prior to Screening.
