Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The interventional product, PXS-4728A, is a powder which will be dissolved in water for irrigation (stock solution). The final product will be formulated at 1-20 mg/100 mL in flavoured water at room temperature for oral administration.

The study is divided into 2 parts:

Part A - Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study in which PXS-4728A will be administered as a single dose (1/ 3/ 6/ 10/ 15 or 20 mg).

Part B - Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study in which PXS-4728A will be administered once daily from Day 1 up to Day 14. However the dose for this part of the study will be decided based on the results of the SAD study.

The interventional product will be administered to the healthy volunteers while they are confined in the clinical facility under the direct supervision of the study team. This will ensure that strict adherence to the intervention are followed.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
After informed consent has been obtained, all screening tests establishing subject eligibility will be performed within a period of 21 days before dosing. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical facility on Day -1.

In this study there are 6 cohorts for Part A and 3 cohorts for Part B. Each Cohort will have 8 subjects. Subjects within a cohort will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 groups (PXS-4728A or placebo) in a 3:1 ratio respectively such that there are 6 subjects receiving PXS-4728A and 2 subjects receiving placebo within each cohort.

Sentinel dosing will be conducted for the first cohort of Part A. However sentinel dosing is not planned for the remaining cohorts but can be conducted if required based on the discretion of the Principal Investigator.

In Part A, single dose of PXS-4728A/ placebo will be administered to healthy males. In Part B, PXS-4728A/ placebo will be administered once daily from Day 1 to Day 14.

Allocation will be concealed by use of pre-labelled plastic bottles containing subject randomization numbers and use of sealed opaque envelopes.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The investigational product (test or placebo) received by each volunteer will be determined according to the randomization schedule.

Block randomisation using computerised software will be used for generating randomisation sequence.

Statistical methods / analysis
Demographics and baseline characteristics will be tabulated and summarised by SAD/MAD dose level. Physical examination and medical/surgical history data will be listed by subject.
All clinical safety and tolerability data will be listed for each subject and summarised by dose. Vital signs and ECG parameters will be tabulated and summarised by SAD/MAD dose level.
Laboratory values will be listed, along with comments as to clinical significance for values outside the laboratory’s normal ranges.
Treatment-emergent adverse events, following the investigational product dosing, will be listed and summarised by dose level. All adverse events reported in this study will be coded using MedDRA.
Individual plasma concentrations and blood collection times will be listed by subject. Summaries of concentration data will include mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation by SAD/MAD dose level at each scheduled collection time.
