Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical Trial is to assess the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetic profile of 750 mg single oral dose of RHN-001 and 1500 mg of RHN-001 administered orally in fasted and fed conditions in healthy adult volunteers.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
The study is planned to be conducted in Two Phases (Cohort A and Cohort B). The first phase will be carried out in two Cohorts i.e., a single oral dose of investigational drug 750 mg or placebo under fasting (Cohort A1) and a single oral dose of investigational drug 750 mg or placebo under fed conditions (Cohort A2).
The second phase of the study will also be carried out in two cohorts i.e., a single oral dose of 1500 mg or placebo under fasting (Cohort B1) and a single oral dose of 1500 mg or placebo under fed conditions (Cohort B2).
Blood samples will be obtained from the volunteers at different time-points i.e. 0.0 hour (before dosing), 15.0 minutes, 30.0 minutes, 1.0 hour, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 8.0, 12.0 and 24.0 hours post-dose in each cohort.
Urine samples (10 mL) for PK analysis will be collected after dosing for 24 hours whenever the subjects feel to urinate during their stay at the clinical trial site.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Cohort A1 (750mg RHN-001 or Placebo) in fasting state Eligible 16 subjects will be randomized in Cohort A1 (n=16; 12 active: 4 Placebo) and fast for at least 10 hours on check-in day after dinner till 4 hours after they receive the investigational product (RHN-001 750mg caplet) or placebo at the study site on the morning of Day 2 of the study. |
Drug: RHN-001 (one tablet 750mg)
Subjects in A1 and A2 will receive 750mg RHN-001 or matching placebo tablets in Fasted state and Fed states respectively with 240 mL ambient temperature water.
|
| Experimental: Cohort A2 (750mg RHN-001 or Placebo) in fed state Eligible 16 subjects will be randomized in Cohort A2 (n=16; 12 active: 4 Placebo) and will receive the investigational product (RHN-001) or placebo on Day 2 (dosing day) within 30 minutes after a standard breakfast. All subjects will undergo a 24-hour PK study during their stay at the clinical trial site. |
Drug: RHN-001 (one tablet 750mg)
Subjects in A1 and A2 will receive 750mg RHN-001 or matching placebo tablets in Fasted state and Fed states respectively with 240 mL ambient temperature water.
|
| Experimental: Cohort B1 (1500mg RHN-001 or Placebo) in fasting state Eligible 16 subjects will be randomized in Cohort B1 (n=16; 12 active: 4 Placebo) and fast for at least 10 hours on check-in day after dinner till 4 hours after they receive the investigational product (RHN-001 1500mg caplet) or placebo at the study site on the morning of Day 2 of the study. |
Drug: RHN-001 (750mg * 2 Tablets)
Subjects in B1 and B2 will receive 1500mg RHN-001 (750mg tablet) or matching placebo tablets in Fasted state and Fed states respectively with 240 mL ambient temperature water.
|
| Experimental: Cohort B2 (1500mg RHN-001 or Placebo) in fed state Eligible 16 subjects will be randomized in Cohort B2 (n=16; 12 active: 4 Placebo) and will receive the investigational product (RHN-001) or placebo on Day 2 (dosing day) within 30 minutes after a standard breakfast. All subjects will undergo a 24-hour PK study during their stay at the clinical trial site. |
Drug: RHN-001 (750mg * 2 Tablets)
Subjects in B1 and B2 will receive 1500mg RHN-001 (750mg tablet) or matching placebo tablets in Fasted state and Fed states respectively with 240 mL ambient temperature water.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety and tolerability profile of SAD of RHN-001 [up to 24 hours post dose in each cohort]
Number of subjects with adverse events (AEs) (i.e., seriousness, severity, relationship to the study medication, outcome, duration, and management), vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECGs), clinical laboratory parameters, weight, and physical examination.
- Safety Endpoints of MAD of RHN-001 [up to 24 hours post dose in each cohort]
Number of subjects with adverse events (AEs) (i.e., seriousness, severity, relationship to the study medication, outcome, duration, and management), vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECGs), clinical laboratory parameters, weight, and physical examination.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- maximum plasma concentration [up to 24 hours post dose]
maximum concentration of RHN-001 in plasma after dose in each cohort
- Time to reach maximum plasma concentration [up to 24 hours post dose]
Time required for RHN-001 to reach maximum plasma concentration
- AUC (Area under concentration vs time curve) [up to 24 hours post dose]
Area under the time versus plasma RHN-001 concentration curve
