Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

10. History of positive test for tuberculosis (TB) at screening.
11. A subject who has donated 1 unit of blood of over 500 mL within 56 days prior to the study drug administration, or donated plasma within 14 days prior to study drug administration.

14. Use of any tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and/or nicotine replacement products in the 3 months preceding screening.
15. Any food allergy, intolerance, or restriction that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could contraindicate the subject's participation in this study.
16. Recent history of (within the past 12 months), or strong potential for, alcohol or substance abuse. Alcohol abuse will be defined as > 14 drinks per week (1 drink = 10g of ethanol).
17. History of drug or alcohol abuse within 5 years before screening or positive result of UDS (e.g, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, hallucinogens, opiates) or alcohol breath test at screening.
18. Exposure to any investigational agent or used an invasive investigational medical device within 30 days or within a period less than 5 drug half-lives prior to study entry (whichever is longer).
19. Study site employees, Sponsor's employees, or immediate family members of a study site or Sponsor employee.
20. Previously enrolled in this study.
21. Vaccination 14 days from screening or plans to get a vaccine within 30 days after dosing.
22. Acute infection (such as influenza) or relevant lesion at the time of Screening or Day -1. Subjects can be rescreened once they have recovered.
23. Criteria at the discretion of the Investigator:

1. Chronic medical condition that impacts subject safety.
2. Clinically significant abnormal physical examination or vital signs at screening.
3. Condition believed to interfere with the subject's ability to provide informed consent or comply with study instructions, or that might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the subject at undue risk.
4. History or evidence of a clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease that that is believed to significantly impair pain perception (e.g., history of stroke, history of neuropathy), would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with evaluation, procedures, or study completion.

Summary
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about a single dose of fenretinide in healthy volunteers, in both a fasted and fed state. The main questions it aims to answer are: •How well is a single dose of fenretinide tolerated? AND •How is a single dose of fenretinide metabolized in healthy volunteers?

Participants will be asked to:

* Remain confined in a clinical research unit for 5 days after dosing.
* Provide blood samples for intense PK sampling and safety labs.
* Fast for 10 hours prior to administration of study drug (fasted cohorts).
* Consume a high fat meal prior to administration of study drug (fed cohort).
* Return to the clinic for a single follow-up visit for safety assessments. Researchers will compare active fenretinide to placebo to see if fenretinide is more or less tolerable than placebo.
