Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This Phase 1 study is designed to assess the safety, tolerabilty and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple intravenous doses of BWC0977 when administered to healthy adult volunteers. This is a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending dose, multi-cohort trial. A total of 56 healthy volunteers are expected to be enrolled into 7 Cohorts. The study will be conducted in two phases: A multiple ascending dose (MAD) phase , followed by A single ascending dose (SAD) phase. In SAD, participants in Cohorts 1 - 2 will receive one dose of BWC0977 or placebo. In MAD, participants in Cohorts 6 - 8 will receive multiple doses of BWC0977 or placebo for 10 consecutive days at a dose deemed safe and tolerable as determined in the preceding SAD Cohorts. In both parts sequential cohorts will be exposed to increasing doses of BWC0977.

The dose for the A5 cohort will be determined based on safety and tolerability data from the previous cohorts Up to five dose groups will be studied. SAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive single doses of BWC0977 via IV infusion over 2 hours. The planned dose to be studied are 1500mg. Upto 2 cohorts will be studied |
Drug: BWC0977
SAD Cohorts: Double-blind dosing will occur. Six participants will receive single doses of BWC0977. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort. MAD Cohorts: Double blind dosing will occur. Six participants in each cohort will receive multiple doses of BWC0977. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort. Dosing will commence on the morning of Day 1. Dosing frequency to be confirmed based on safety, tolerability and PK data from SAD cohorts. Daily dosing will continue for a total of 10 consecutive days.
