Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This study is a Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single, and multiple ascending dose study in HV with food effect cohort, and a repeat dose expansion cohort(s) in participants with ALS.
The study consists of 3 parts, as follows:
-
Part 1: SAD in HV with up to 6 cohorts including a food effect cohort.
-
Part 2: MAD over 5 days in HV with up to 5 cohorts
-
Part 3: ALS cohorts with once daily (QD) dosing over 28 days

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Experimental Part 1: Active SPG302 to be administered to healthy volunteers (SAD) 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to active or placebo. Study intervention will be administered orally once. Randomization to each SAD cohort will be done in a staggered manner; initially 2 sentinel participants (1 active and 1 placebo) will be randomized and dosed and after a safety evaluation period after the dose without clinically significant adverse events (AEs) and investigator approval, then, 6 additional participants will be randomized and dosed (5 active and 1 placebo) at the discretion of the Investigator according to the randomization schedule |
Drug: SPG302
synthetic small molecule

Placebo Comparator: Placebo Comparator Part 1: Placebo comparator to be administered to healthy volunteers (SAD) 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to active or placebo. Study intervention will be administered orally once. Randomization to each SAD cohort will be done in a staggered manner; initially 2 sentinel participants (1 active and 1 placebo) will be randomized and dosed and after a safety evaluation period after the dose without clinically significant adverse events (AEs) and investigator approval, then, 6 additional participants will be randomized and dosed (5 active and 1 placebo) at the discretion of the Investigator according to the randomization schedule |

Experimental: Experimental Part 2: Active SPG302 to be administered to healthy volunteers (MAD) 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to active or placebo. Participants will receive study intervention QD over 5 days and will be discharged on Day 6. A follow-up safety visit will be conducted on Day 12 (±3 days). |

Experimental: Experimental Part 3: Active SPG302 to be administered to participants with ALS 12 participants with ALS will be randomized to receive SPG302 or placebo at a 3:1 ratio. Study intervention will be administered QD over 28 days. A follow-up safety visit will be conducted 30 days after last dose (±7 days). Participants who complete Part 3 may be offered to participate in an open-label extension. |
