Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To investigate the safety and tolerability of single intravenous ascending doses of BV100 assessed by the nature, occurrence, and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events [10 Days]
Safety and tolerability
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To characterize the single dose pharmacokinetic profile of rifabutin: Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) [120 hours]
Pharmacokinetics
- To characterize the single dose pharmacokinetic profile of rifabutin: Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [120 hours]

Other Outcome Measures
- To determine the urinary excretion of BV100: Cumulative amount excreted within 24 and 96 hours after start of infusion [96 hours]
Pharmacokinetics
- To determine the plasma concentration of the main metabolite 25-O-Desacetyl-Rifabutin in plasma [5 days]
Pharmacokinetics
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Subject must be 18 to 55 years of age inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent.
-
Subjects who are healthy as determined by the Investigator based on medical evaluation including medical history, physical and neurological examination, vital signs, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests at screening and on Day -1.
-
Subjects are able to have an intravenous line placed.
-
Body weight of at least 50 kg and BMI within the range of 19 to 30 kg/m2 (inclusive) at screening examination.
-
Male subjects will be included in the study.
-
Subjects must agree to the following from the time of the first dose until 3 months after the follow-up visit:
-
use two acceptable methods of birth control with a female partner of child-bearing potential (barrier method combined with an additional highly effective contraceptive method). Barrier methods of contraception include condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps). Highly effective contraception is defined in accordance with the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG 2014 ) guidance and includes the following methods: implants, injectables, hormonal intrauterine device, combined hormonal contraceptives, sexual abstinence and vasectomized sexual partner.
-
refrain from donating sperm.
-
Prior to any clinical study specific procedure the subject provided written informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. Subjects must be able to read, write, and fully understand the German language.
-
Prior to any clinical study specific procedure the subject provided written informed consent as described in Appendix 3 which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. Subjects must be able to read, write, and fully understand the German language.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
History of clinically relevant disease of any organ system that may interfere with the objectives of the study or provide a risk to the health of the subject.
-
Known or suspected history of hypersensitivity to rifabutin or excipients or to drugs of a similar chemical class including rifampicin, rifapentine, rifaximin; history of allergic reactions leading to hospitalisation or any other allergic conditions (including drug allergies, asthma, eczema, anaphylactic reactions but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies) which the Investigator considers may affect the safety of the subject and/or outcome of the study.
-
History of antibiotic associated diarrhoea within the last year.
-
History of epilepsy, other neurological disorders, or neuropsychiatric conditions.
-
Subjects with ECG abnormalities (history, or evidence of second-degree heart block of Mobitz type II, third degree heart block, or any abnormality considered relevant by the Investigator), QTcF > 450 ms, PR > 200 ms, or QRS duration > 110 ms.
-
Supine systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg or < 90 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg or < 50 mmHg at Screening or Day 1 prior to dosing (any abnormal blood pressure results may be repeated once and if the repeat result is within the normal range, it is not considered to have met the exclusion criterion). Pulse rate > 90 or < 50 beats per minute at Screening or Day 1 prior to dosing.
-
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula. In case of a borderline result between ≥ 80 and < 90 mL/min, Cystatin C will be determined in addition, and the subject will only be included if the Cystatin C value is below the upper limit of normal (ULN).
-
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and creatinine, above the ULN at Screening. Any abnormal value of these parameters may be repeated and if the repeat result is within the laboratory reference range, it is not considered to have met the exclusion criterion.
-
Screening values other than AST, ALT, ALP, creatinine, for haematology, biochemistry, or urinalysis must not exceed the reference range. Minor deviations from normal are allowed, if they are not clinically significant.
-

-
Subjects who have received any medications, including St John's Wort, known to chronically alter drug absorption or elimination processes within 30 days of the first dose administration.
