Timepoint [1] 322991 0
Adverse events will be monitored throughout the study from the date of informed consent signed.

Coagulation will also be collected 2 hours post-first dose.
Urine pregnancy test and urine drug screen: before first dosing.
Secondary outcome [1] 380440 0
To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of AUM001 following multiple oral doses in healthy subjects.

For Day 1, the following parameters will be calculated:

1) AUC0-48: area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time 48 hours using the linear trapezoidal rule
2) Cmax: maximum observed concentration
3) Tmax: time of observed Cmax

For Day 13, the following parameters will be calculated:
1) AUC0-48(ss): area under the concentration-time curve for one dosing interval (t) at steady-state. In this study t = 48 hours .
2) Tmax ss: time of observed Cmax ss at steady-state
3) Cmax ss: maximum observed concentration at steady-state
4) Cmin ss: minimum observed concentration at steady-state
5) Fl(%): percentage of fluctuation
6) Cav(ss): average concentration at steady-state calculated from trapezoidal AUC data after multiple doses, as AUC0-t ss / t
7) AUC0-t(pred): predicted area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last non-zero concentration, after removal of the influence of the previous doses
8) AUC0-inf(pred): predicted area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (extrapolated)
9) T½ el: apparent elimination half-life
10) Kel: apparent elimination rate constant
11) CL/F(ss): total body clearance

Pre-dose samples will be collected at approximately the same time each day and within 10 minutes prior to dosing.
Secondary outcome [2] 380441 0
To identify a safe dose range of AUM001 in preparation for patient studies. this is a secondary objective
Timepoint [2] 380441 0
Safety data including vital signs, ECG data as well as laboratory results and the AUM001 plasma concentration will be evaluated across all cohorts to decide to continue the prescribed dose level, to decrease the next dose level, to repeat a dose level or to not evaluate any additional dosage, based on consideration of the clinical significance of several safety, tolerability and PK parameters.

The blinded clinical and laboratory safety data as well as the blinded analysed Plasma PK data for all subjects within a cohort will be evaluated in aggregate once all subjects have completed the day 16 assessment

Summary
Brief summary
This Is a First In Human Phase 1 Single Center, Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study To Evaluate The Safety Tolerability And Pharmacokinetics of MultipleE Ascending Doses of AUM001 In Normal Healthy Volunteers


This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple ascending doses of AUM001 in healthy volunteers.

You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 and above and below 50, are healthy with no active or chronic diseases/disorders

Participants in this study are randomly allocated (by chance) to one of two groups in one of three cohorts in ascending doses

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics will be assessed at regular intervals using clinical examinations and blood tests.

This study is not open to cancer patients, and should not be promoted as such. Recruitment will be restricted to those volunteers identified as fitting the selection criteria by the Phase I Clinical trial Unit.

his is a healthy volunteer study. It is proposed that the drug will be evaluated for the treatment of patients with a range of solid and liquid tumours"
