Summary
Brief summary
This is a phase 1 study in healthy subjects. It is planned to develop the drug for reducing pressure in the brain of patients with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Increased pressure following TBI can lead to death or can cause permanent disability. There are currently no medications that are approved for improving outcomes after TBI. The drug will also be tested for improving clinical outcome in patients that suffered a concussion.
The study drug being evaluated is called EU-C-001 and is being developed by an Australian company called PresSura Neuro. Studies in animals have shown that EU-C-001 may reduce pressure in the brain. Therefore, it is thought that EU-C-001 may improve outcomes in patients with TBI by increasing the amount of oxygen available to brain tissue. In other studies it was shown that the EU-C-001 may also have potential to improve outcomes in patients with concussion.
Single oral administrations up to 180 mg EU-C-001 and single intravenous administrations up to 90 mg EU-C-001 have been administered to healthy male subjects. The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic information is not yet available in females. Therefore, the present study is planned to investigate the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the medication given intravenously in healthy female subjects and will compare the result from a historical data set obtained from studies in healthy male subjects.
