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The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.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

Health condition
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied:
This trial is to assess the tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy adult volunteers and does not focus on any particular health condition or problem.
Subsequent studies are planned to evaluate efficacy in promoting improved exercise endurance and recovery, reduced muscle damage and soreness post exercise and for its lipid lowering effects in appropriate populations. 295056 0

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A single dose of GDN-1 will be administered on Day 0 either sublingually or orally in either a fed or fasted state according to the randomisation schedule. Patients will be randomised into one of six treatment groups:
Group 1, 10mg of sublingual GDN-1 in a fasted state,
Group 2, 20mg of sublingual GDN-1 in a fasted state,
Group 3, 40mg of sublingual GDN-1 in a fasted state,
Group 4, 40mg of sublingual GDN-1 in a fed state,
Group 5, 40mg of oral GDN-1 in a fasted state,
Group 6, 40mg of oral GDN-1 in a fed state,

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 295043 0
To evaluate:
*The safety and tolerability of GDN-1 in healthy adults following a single dose.
Timepoint [1] 295043 0
Safety and tolerability:
*Adverse events over the course of the study (from the time of drug administration until the end of study - Day 7).
*Changes in vital signs, physical examination, haematology, biochemistry, urinalysis and 12-lead ECG within 24 hours post receiving the single dose
Primary outcome [2] 295108 0
The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of GDN-1 following administration of a single sublingual or oral dose to healthy adults in the fed and fasted states.
Timepoint [2] 295108 0
Pharmacokinetics:
*Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) obtained directly from the plasma concentration data without interpolation
*Time to peak plasma concentration (tmax) obtained directly from the plasma concentration data without interpolation.
*Elimination half-life (t 1/2)
*Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last time point evaluated (AUC(0–t))
*Area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 and extrapolated to infinity (AUC(0–inf))

PK sampling will occur pre-dose, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours.
Secondary outcome [1] 314664 0

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Once eligibility has been confirmed by the investigator, subjects will be assigned a randomisation number. The investigator will use the next available subject randomisation number which will correspond to the treatment allocation. This is an open label study.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The independent statistician will generate the randomisation schedule. The randomisation list will be a random permuted block design with a variable block size.
