Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This is a phase I, single-center, double blind, randomized, single- and multiple-dose, study in four (4) cohorts of eight (8) healthy adult male and female participants per period and dose level.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK in healthy participants of a single- and multiple-doses (SAD and MAD) of a new investigational drug: NUV001
The study will consist of a screening period up to 28 days followed by two (2) treatment periods per participant:
-
Treatment Period 1: Single ascending dose (SAD) part with a 3-days inpatient period.
-
Treatment Period 2: Multiple ascending dose (MAD) part with a 16-days inpatient period. Dosing from Period 2 Day 1 to Day 14.
A washout of at least 5 days after the first dosing (Period 1 Day 1) should take place between the two periods. A follow-up visit will take place between 6 to 10 days after last dosing (i.e., D14 in period 2) or early discontinuation.
NUV001 will be given orally at four dose levels. Each participant will undergo two treatment periods, but they will receive only one dose level.
The decision to proceed to subsequent dosing cohorts will be made based on a blinded review of the emerging safety data and available PK data.
