Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This single-center, open-label, randomized, single and multiple-dose, 3-way sequential study at 3 dose levels will be performed in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of the 3 dose levels. In each dose level, subjects will be administered a single dose in the fasted state and then a single dose in the fed state, followed by 14 days of dosing to assess Pharmacokinetics (PK) following multiple dosing.

Detailed Description
This is a single-center, open-label, randomized, single- and multiple-dose, 3-way sequential study at 3 dose levels in healthy subjects. For logistical purposes subjects will be admitted to the unit to be dosed in groups of approximately 16 or fewer. Subjects will be randomized into one of the three dose levels. Within each dose level, subjects will be administered a single dose in the fasted state and then a single dose in the fed state, followed by 14 days of dosing to assess PK following multiple dosing.
Subjects will undergo preliminary screening procedures for the study at the screening visit (Day -28 to Day -2). Subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit on the evening prior to investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (Day -1) and will remain on site until 72 h post-final dose. Subjects will receive a single dose of sparsentan in the fasted state on Period 1, Day 1 (Study day 1) and a single dose of sparsentan in the fed state (high-fat breakfast) on Period 2, Day 1 (Study day 8), followed by multiple doses of sparsentan in the fed state on Period 3, Day 1 to 14 (Study days 12 to 25). On PK sampling days for the multiple dose treatment period (Period 3, Days 7, and 14; Study days 18 and 25), subjects will consume a high-fat breakfast before dosing; on other days, a standard breakfast will be provided.
A follow-up phone call will take place 5 to 7 days post-final dose to ensure the ongoing wellbeing of the subjects.

- Assessment of Safety and tolerability of sparsentan oral suspension - AEs [2 to 28 days before Study Day 1 until 5 to 7 days post-final dose]
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject that occurs either before dosing (referred to as a pre-dose AE) or once a medicinal product has been administered, including occurrences which are not necessarily caused by or related to that product. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are AEs that commence during/after the first dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) or commence before first dose of IMP (ie, a pre-dose AE or existing medical condition) but worsen in intensity during exposure to IMP. The number and percentage of subjects reporting each TEAE will be summarized for both System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT). For summaries by SOC and PT, with the exception of TEAEs by severity and relationship to IMP, the number of subjects and the number of events will be summarized. For summaries by severity and relationship only the number of subjects will be summarized.
- Acceptability and key taste attributes of sparsentan oral suspension [Study Day 1]
Assess the palatability of the oral suspension using the results from a 9-point scale that rate acceptability of smell, sweetness, bitterness, flavor, mouth feel/texture, grittiness and aftertaste, and overall acceptability for a single dose of an oral suspension of sparsentan in the fasted state. Patient will rate overall liking of the product from a 9-point scale ranging from 1 = Dislike extremely and 9 = Like extremely.
