Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Up to 28 days before enrolment into the study, participants will be required to sign a consent form, after which screening assessments will be carried out.

This study consists of two parts.

PART A: SINGLE ASCENDING DOSE

Up to 12 participants will be enrolled into up to 2 cohorts:

Cohort A1 (6 participants) will receive a single dose of an extended release formulation of ATN-249 200 mg (4 x 50 mg tablet) following overnight fasting for at least 10 hours.

Cohort A2 (6 participants) will receive a single dose of an extended release formulation of ATN-249 following overnight fasting for at least 10 hours. The dose will be determined based on Cohort A1 PK and safety data.

Dosing in Cohort A2 will not commence until SMC review of PK and safety information from Cohort A1. Dose escalation between cohorts will be reviewed by SMC at least 7 days after participants have been dosed. Participants will remain onsite from the day before dosing until review of the 48 hour post-dose assessments.

The duration of this study part is of approximately 5 weeks (this includes a 28-day screening period, one 3-day study period with 3 overnight stays and a follow-up visit 7 days after your dose of study medication).

PART B: MULTIPLE ASCENDING DOSE

Study part B aims to investigate the selected formulation candidate (from Part A) in a multiple dosing design.

Up to 12 participants will be enrolled into up to 2 cohorts:

Cohort B1 (6 participants) will receive a single daily dose of an extended release formulation of ATN-249 200 mg (4 x 50 mg tablet) for 14 days following overnight fasting for at least 10 hours.

Cohort B2 (6 participants) will receive a single dose of an extended release formulation of ATN-249 for 14 days following overnight fasting for at least 10 hours. The dose will be determined based on Cohort B1 PK and safety data.

Dosing in Cohort B1 can commence following completion of Cohort A1. Dosing in Cohort B2 will not commence until review of PK and safety information from Cohort B1. Dose escalation between cohorts will be reviewed at least 7 days after participants have been dosed. Participants will remain onsite from the day before dosing until review of the 48 hour post-last dose assessments.
The duration of this study part is of approximately 7 weeks (this includes a 28-day screening period, one 16-day study period with 16 overnight stays and a follow up visit 7 days after your last dose of study medication).

ADDITIONAL COHORTS

Additional single and/or multiple ascending dose cohorts up to a daily dose of 800 mg/day may be tested provided the anticipated exposure based on interim PK data from earlier cohorts in this trial would not exceed that of the female rat at the NOAEL (100 mg/kg) and adequate safety and tolerability from lower dose cohorts is available. Each cohort (6 participants) will receive a single or daily dose of an extended release formulation of ATN-249 following overnight fasting for at least 10 hours.

POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL EXTENDED RELEASE FORMULATIONS

This study has an adaptive design to allow for the potential addition of up to three additional extended release formulations.
Part A of the study will start by assessing the first potential extended release formulation of ATN-249. Following analysis of the PK data, the study will either progress to Part B with the selected formulation or Part A will be repeated to analyze a second formulation (formulation 2). The PK data will be analyzed throughout the study to determine whether a formulation should continue through the single and multiple-ascending cohorts, or should be replaced by a different formulation.

Summary
Brief summary
Hereditary Angiodema (HAE) is a rare disease caused by low levels of C1 serine protease inhibitor in the body. Deficiencies in this protein leads to increased activation of inflammatory pathways which can cause swelling, severe abdominal pain and airway obstruction that can be life threatening. ATN-249 is a potential once a day oral treatment for HAE.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and tolerability of extended release formulations of ATN-249 as well as the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the study drug. The study is open to healthy male volunteers and the research goals are:
- Does the drug have any side-effects and is it well tolerated when given as a multiple dose over several days?
- How much of the drug gets into the blood stream, and how long does the body take to get rid of it?

This study will also look at how the human body uses ATN-249 at different dose levels and under different dosing regimens (single day dosing or 14-day dosing).
