Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study is a two-part design, the first part consisting of single ascending doses (SAD) of TIMP-GLIA (Gliadin, a glutenoid protein encapsulated in poly lactic-co-glycolic acid nanoparticles) or saline placebo delivered over a 30-minute controlled infusion under the supervision of study nurses, to 6 cohorts of 6 subjects. All subjects will be resident in the clinic for 48 hours after each dose for medical observation.
In each cohort one drug-treated (sentinel subject) and one placebo subject will be dosed first with the the remainder of the cohort (3 drug-treated and 1 placebo) to be dosed after 48 hours has elapsed. A Safety Management Committee (SMC) meeting will be held after completion of each cohort to review safety observations against predefined stopping rules before continuation to the next dose level. Cohort dosing is shown below:
SAD
Cohort 1 TIMP-GLIA 8 mg or saline placebo
Cohort 2 TIMP-GLIA 40 mg or saline placebo
Cohort 3 TIMP-GLIA 120 mg or saline placebo
Cohort 4 TIMP-GLIA 300 mg or saline placebo
Cohort 5 TIMP-GLIA 600 mg or saline placebo
Cohort 6 TIMP-GLIA 800 mg or saline placebo
In the second part of the study two further cohorts (n=6) will be given two doses of TIMP-GLIA, 7 days apart as follows:
Level 4 dosing TIMP-GLIA 300 mg or saline placebo
Level 6 dosing TIMP-GLIA 800 mg or saline placebo
SMC review will occur between cohorts.

Summary
Brief summary
The phase 1 trial will be conducted in two parts, initially, it will comprise of a single-centre, subject blinded randomised single ascending dose study of TIMP-GLIA to 6 cohorts. Each cohort will contain six participants two will be randomised to placebo and four to TIMP-GLIA. At the beginning of each dose level, one sentinel (TIMP-GLIA) participant and one placebo participant will be dosed. The remaining four participants will be dosed 48 hours after the sentinel participants. A Safety Committee will meet after the completion of each cohort dosing to ascertain safety prior to the next dose level is given. In the second part of the trial, a repeat dosing strategy will be employed (maximum, two doses seven days apart) at the Level 4 and Level 6 dose.
Following a screening period (up to 28 days), eligible participants will be randomised to TIMP-GLIA or placebo using a computer generated randomisation schedule which will be held by an unblinded pharmacist.
