Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of L608 in Healthy Adults
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled single ascending dose, sequential-group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of single ascending doses of L608 inhalation in healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description
L608 inhalation Solution (L608) is developed by Pharmosa Biopharm Inc. (PBI) as a new liposomal Iloprost formulation for inhalation use in the treatment of patients with PAH (WHO Group 1). As a liposomal formulation of iloprost, L608 is intended to reduce the dosing frequency, as well as provide sustained and selective release along with achieving therapeutically relevant iloprost level. Meanwhile, L608 is expected to mitigate burst release related local irritation and systemic side effects (e.g., hypotension due to plasma peak) in clinical practice.
This Phase I, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in healthy volunteers in Australia to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic of L608. The dose escalation design is applied in this study. The sentinel dosing design will be applied for all cohorts.

| Experimental: L608 Liposomal inhalation solution Eight subjects will be enrolled in each cohort and be randomized to receive assigned dose of L608 or placebo (6:2). |
Drug: L608 Inhalation Solution
subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1 (for Sentinel dosing) followed by 5:1 for rest of the cohort to receive the assigned dose of L608 or placebo
