Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a single and multiple dose study with participants receiving oral (Z)-endoxifen 4mg tablets or placebo tablets. Participants will be assigned to the same allocated study treatment ((Z)-endoxifen or placebo) through both Part A and Part B.
12 healthy female volunteers will be screened 28 days prior to commencement of dosing.
Participants will be admitted to the clinical facility on Day -1 for up to 3 days in Part A (single dose). Participants will also be admitted for a second confinement period in Part B (multiple dose) on Day 13 for up to 3 days.
Part A: Single Dose
The first dose of study drug (one 4mg (Z)-endoxifen tablet or placebo tablet) will be administered on Day 1. Following completion of all safety assessments and sampling for PK analyses, participants will be discharged from the clinical facility on Day 3.
On days 4, 6, 8 and 15 participants will return to the clinical facility to attend out-patient visits including safety tests and pharmacokinetics (PK)
Days 2 through 25 is a study drug-free period, or daily dosing wash out period (of a minimum 25 days). The minimum period between the completion of Part A (Day 15) and commencement of Part B will be 10 days.
A Safety Summary, (consisting of laboratory safety data obtained though Day 6) and
pharmacokinetic (PK) data (through Day 6) will be analysed (in blinded manner) for review by the Principal Investigator and Sponsor’s Representative prior to the initiation (dosing) of the multiple dosing part of the study.

Part B: Multiple Dose
Day 1 starts the multi-dose administration period. Participants will return to the clinic for a pre-dose blood draw and commence daily oral administration of the study drug (one 4mg (Z)-endoxifen tablet or placebo tablet daily) for 14 consecutive days (Part B Days 1 - 14). Participants will be supplied with study drug and instructed to self-administer each morning on an empty stomach (defined as a minimum of 8 hours fasting).
Prior to dose administration on Part B Day 7 participants will visit the clinical facility for PK blood draws and safety assessments.
Part B Day 14 is the last day of study drug administration. Each participant will return to the clinical facility and check-in on Day 13 prior to final dose administration on Day 14 and will be confined to the facility until Day 16 to allow for the collection of blood for PK and safety assessments. Participants will be discharged from the clinical facility on Day 16 and will return for blood collection for PK and safety assessments on study Days 17, 19, and 21.

All study visits (out patient and in-house) will consist of PK and safety assessments.
Intervention code [1] 315580 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
A matching Placebo will be the control.
The matching placebo compressed coated tablet is produced by the same process as the (Z)-endoxifen tablet and consists of the same ingredients without the (Z)- Endoxifen and with added excipients to yield the same weight and size.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321404 0
To determine the pharmacokinetics for a single dose of an orally administered 4mg (Z) - endoxifen, and after a washout period, daily multiple administration for 14-consecutive days in healthy female volunteers.

The pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined using non-compartmental analysis methods. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be summarised by treatment using descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variation (CV), minimum and maximum. In addition, the analysis will include the following pharmacokinetic parameters as appropriate calculated after Part A (single dose) and Part B (multiple dose): AUC, Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, elimination rate, clearance and accumulation.

Pharmacokinetics
Statistical methods / analysis
This study is an exploratory pharmacokinetic study with (Z)-Endoxifen and as such no formal sample size calculation was performed. Results from this study will be utilized for sample size calculations of subsequent studies.
Treatment-emergent AEs will be coded using the latest version of MedDRA to the appropriate SOC and Preferred Term, classified from verbatim terms. The incidence and frequency of treatment emergent AEs, and SAEs, will be summarized by treatment and overall, according to SOC and Preferred Terms. Summaries of treatment-emergentAE’s) will also be presented by severity and relationship.
The time to onset and duration of AEs will be determined and included in listings, along with the action taken and outcome.
Cardiac (12-Lead ECG), vital signs and safety laboratory parameter values and post-dose change from baseline values will be listed and summarized by treatment at each scheduled time point using descriptive statistics.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) data:
Concentrations of (Z)-Endoxifen collected at specified time points post-dose after Day 1 dose (single dose) and after 14 days of once-daily administration will be used for the calculation of the pharmacokinetic parameters after Part A (single dose) Day 1 dose and Part B (multiple dose) Day 14 dose, as appropriate, using non-compartmental analysis methods.
Analyses will be performed to assess time dependence and accumulation (multiple dose), and attainment of steady state (multiple dose).
Statistical Analysis will be performed on the PK parameters using validated statistical software.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of a potential breast cancer treatment called endoxifen.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are a healthy female aged 18-65. [***Please note participants who have cancer are not eligible for this study.***]

Study details
Participants in this study will receive tablets, to be taken by mouth and will be randomised (by chance) to either the active drug or a placebo. Neither the participant nor investigators will know who gets the active or placebo drug. Initially, only a single tablet will be taken. After checking the results of this first day, participants continue into the second part of the study where they will take their assigned tablet once a day for another 14 days. As part of this study, all participants will need to provide blood samples, urine samples, answer questionnaires and have a physical exam.
