Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Approximately 3 cohorts of Normal Healthy Volunteers (NHV) will be enrolled with sentinel dosing in each cohort. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized to orally receive either FP-045 (6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects) at doses and intervals as presented below:

Active treatment will be FP-045 (powder for oral solution) for reconstitution in cranberry juice and delivered as 120 mL oral solution total dosing volume per subject's cohort.

Cohort 1 will receive 120 mg daily oral dose of FP-045 or Placebo for 7 days.
Cohort 2 will receive 250 mg daily oral dose of FP-045 or Placebo for 7 days.
Cohort 3 will receive 500 mg daily oral dose of FP-045 or Placebo for 7 days.

All subjects will remain in the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) for observation until completion of all assessments on Day 10.

Dosing will take place in the morning on dosing days under the supervision of study staff.
Study drug compliance will be documented in the eCRF by recording:
The date and time of each oral administration,
The volume of each oral dose administered,
Whether or not the entire amount of each oral dose of FP-045 was administered and whether or not subject vomited after administration of the dose.
Intervention code [1] 299814 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
The placebo will be cranberry juice delivered as an oral solution that is identical to FP 045, but without FP-045.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304185 0
To evaluate the safety/tolerability of multiple escalating doses of FP-045 administered orally to NHVs. Safety will be measured by routine clinical and laboratory procedures, physical examination, collection of vital signs and ECGS, and recording of treatment-emergent AEs and SAEs. Consistent with first in human clinical trials, sentinel dosing of each Cohort 1-3 will be conducted. Dose Escalation Safety Reviews - Prior to each dose level adjustment (following administration of the Day 7 dose in the final subject in each cohort), the clinical and laboratory safety parameters from the previous dosing cohort will be reviewed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) (in a blinded fashion) to permit a decision on whether or not to advance to the next higher dose level. The suggested next doses may be decreased based on evaluation of safety, tolerability, and PK data observed in previous treatment cohorts.
Timepoint [1] 304185 0
Following enrollment into the study and administration of the 1st dose of study drug subjects will undergo vital sign measurements and physical examinations on Days 1 through 10 and at End of Study/Day 14 (EOS), as well as clinical laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, APTT, INR and urinalysis) on Day1 through 7 and on Day 10 and EOS/Day14. A 12-lead ECG will be performed before first dose and 30 minutes, 1.5 hour and 4 hour post daily dose on Days 1, 2, 7 and EOS/Day14. Concomitant medications will be recorded from dosing with study drug through EOS/Day14. Evaluation of safety by the safety review committee (SRC), including the opinion of the Investigator and Sponsor’s medical monitor, will be used in evaluating safety data to determine a maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Adverse events will be assessed from the time of informed consent through EOS/Day14.
Secondary outcome [1] 341161 0
To estimate the PK profiles of prodrug FP-045 (and active AD-835) after multiple, escalating oral doses of FP-045 administered to NHVs. The blood concentrations of the study drugs will be listed and summarized with the number of observations, mean, geometric mean, standard deviation, median, maximum, and coefficient of variation (CV). Figures displaying blood concentrations over time as well as non-compartmental PK parameters for the study drugs will be estimated and summarized: AUC0-24, AUC0-24(Day 7)/AUC0-24(Day1), Cavg, Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, lambda z, CL/F, and Vz/F.
Timepoint [1] 341161 0
Sampling for PK analysis will occur predose on Day 1 (within 30 minutes before dosing) and 0.25 hr, 0.5hr, 0.75hr, 1 hr, 1.5 hr, 2hr, 4 hr, 6hr, 8 hr, 12 hr, and 16 hr postdose. Sampling for PK analysis will occur predose on Days 2 and 5 (within 30 minutes before dosing). Sampling for PK analysis will occur at 24hr, 36 hr, 48 hr, 72 hr and 96hr post Day 7 dose. Sampling for PK analysis will occur at Day 14/EOS.

Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Copies of the randomization sequence and treatment codes will be kept in the pharmacy at the Clinical Research Unit. Unblinded pharmacy (or other qualified site) personnel will be utilized to prepare the study drug for this trial.

Subjects will receive a 3-digit screening number at the Screening Visit following informed consent and if deemed eligible, a randomization number will be allocated (based on the randomization schedule) at any time from Day -1 to prior to dosing on Day 1. The assignment of number and code for subject identification is based on the obligation for anonymity.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
This is a single center Phase 1 study; the study site’s Pharmacist (or qualified designee) will obtain the study drug assignment from a computer-generated randomization code list, by cohort, using a validated random generator software. The randomization scheme and codes will be generated by an unblinded Statistician and provided to the site prior to study commencement.

Statistical methods / analysis
This is an exploratory study and therefore, is not powered for inferential statistical analyses. Approximately 24 subjects (18 subjects receiving FP-045, 6 subjects receiving placebo) will be enrolled in this study. The number of subjects was selected to allow sufficient evaluation of safety, tolerability, and PK of the various multiple-dose regimens to be administered in this study and is consistent with standards of practice for Phase 1 studies.
