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The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.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

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study will be performed in healthy male subjects with administration of a single oral dose of PRAX-330 or vehicle (placebo) in solution in a sequential ascending manner. In Cohorts 1 through 7 subjects will be fasted overnight (no food or drink except water) for 10 hours prior to dosing.

Up to 56 healthy male subjects will be enrolled. Within each cohort, the subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio with 6 subjects in the active group and 2 subjects in the placebo group.

Eligible subjects will receive study treatment with a starting dose of 0.1 mg dose escalated up to 15 mg.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 303718 0
Safety and tolerability, including the assessment of physical examinations, ECGs, vital signs, clinical laboratory results, and adverse events.
Timepoint [1] 303718 0
A complete physical examination (PE) will be performed at Screening, Day -1 and Day 8. In addition PEs will be performed at the same time points as vital signs are measured (see below).

Standard 12-lead ECGs will be performed at the following time points: 0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours post-dose.

Vital signs measurement (blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and body temperature) will be collected at the following time points: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours post-dose

Blood sample collection for clinical laboratory analyses will be collected pre-dose (day-1), and on day 2 at 24 hrs post-dose, day 4 at 72 hrs post-dose and day 8 at 168 hrs post-dose.

Adverse events (AE) and concomitant medications will be recorded throughout the study period.
Primary outcome [2] 303719 0
Pharmacokinetics.
The following PK parameters will be assessed from plasma concentration-time data:
• Cmax, maximum observed concentration
• Tmax, time to Cmax
• AUC0-t, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to last measurable concentration
• AUC0-8, area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity
• T1/2, apparent terminal elimination half-life
• CL/F, oral clearance
• Vz/F, apparent volume of distribution following extravascular administration
• Tlag, time elapsed from time 0 to the last time of sample below quantitative limit

For Cohort 5, lumbar punctures will be performed on all subjects for the determination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PK profile to be collected 24 hours post-dose.
Timepoint [2] 303719 0
Serial blood samples (for PK) will be collected at the following time points: 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72 and 168 hours post-dose

Type of endpoint/s
Safety
Statistical methods / analysis
Approximately 56 healthy subjects will be enrolled into the study to ensure 8 evaluable subjects per cohort with up to 7 cohorts. As the primary objectives of this study are to describe, for the first time in humans, the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of oral PRAX-330 in healthy subjects, no statistical significance tests are planned. Consequently, the sample size for this study was not selected on the basis of statistical power calculations.
Descriptive statistics will include mean, SD, Minimum, maximum, percent coefficient of variation (%CV), and geometric mean will be presented by dose group for the clinical outcomes and the plasma concentration of PRAX-330 at each scheduled sample time point.
