Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple dose
escalation first-in-human study in healthy female participants. The study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of ABI-2280 Vaginal Gel and Tablet, applied to the cervix of healthy participants. Participants who meet all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be evaluated throughout the study.
The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A (single ascending dose) and Part B (multiple ascending dose).
Investigational Product (IP): ABI-2280
Presentation: Vaginal Gel and Vaginal Tablet
Mode of administration: Intravaginal on the cervix
Part A
Up to approximately 32 participants will be enrolled in one of four cohorts-A1 to A4. Each cohort will consist of 8 participants (6 to receive a single dose of ABI-2280 and 2 to receive a single dose of placebo). No participant will be enrolled in more than one cohort. For all cohorts in Part A, two sentinel participants will be enrolled.
Cohort A1: Participants will receive ABI-2280 vaginal gel, 0.01% or placebo gel
Cohort A2: Participants will receive ABI-2280 vaginal gel, 0.03% or placebo gel
Cohort A3: Participants will receive ABI-2280 vaginal gel 0.1% or placebo gel OR
Cohort A3: Participant will receive ABI-2280 vaginal tablet, up to 0.3 mg or placebo tablet
Cohort A4: Participants will receive ABI-2280 vaginal tablet, up to 1 mg or placebo tablet
Dose levels in part A are: 0.01%, 0.03%, 0.1% of ABI-2280 vaginal gel or placebo gel
and Vaginal tablet up to 0.3 mg and 1 mg of ABI-2280 or Placebo tablet
Part B
Up to approximately 16 participants will be enrolled into two cohorts-B1 and B2. Each cohort will consists of 8 participants (6 to receive ABI-2280 vaginal tablet and 2 to receive placebo).
The following treatments are planned:
Cohort B1: ABI-2280 Vaginal tablet, up to 0.3 mg or placebo tablet administered 3 times over a 1 week period.
Cohort B2: ABI-2280 Vaginal Tablet, up to 1 mg or placebo tablet administered 3 times over a 1 week period.
Cohort B1 and B2 will be enrolled sequentially and enrollment into next higher dose cohort will not begin until key safety and PK data up to Day 9 from at least 6 participants in the cohort B1 become available. Additionally, all available cumulative safety and PK data from earlier cohorts in Part A and B will also be reviewed by the safety monitoring committee.
For Cohorts B1 and B2, participants may be admitted to the research unit on Days-1 and 4 and discharged on Days 2 and 6, respectively. Alternatively, they may be admitted to clinical research unit on Day-1 and discharged on Day 6. On Days 1 and 5 participants will receive the first and last doses and complete the procedures as detailed in schedule of assessment in the protocol.

Summary
Brief summary
Antiva is developing ABI-2280, a potent human DNA polymerase inhibitor, for topical treatment of several precancerous conditions related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, including high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) of the cervix.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of ABI-2280 Vaginal Gel and Tablet, applied to the cervix of healthy female participants.
The study will be conducted in two parts: Part A (Single Ascending Dose) and Part B (Multiple Ascending Dose).
Part A
There will be 4 Cohorts in this part, A1 -A4, each consisting of 8 participants. 6 participants will receive a single dose of ABI-2280 and 2 will receive a single dose of placebo. No participant will be enrolled in more than one cohort. Participants will be screened up to 49 days prior to dose administration. Participants may be admitted to research unit on Day -1 or morning of Day 1 and remain admitted until Day 2. On Day 1 participants will receive a single dose of ABI-2280 Vaginal Gel or Tablet or placebo. They will return to the clinic on Day 4 for safety follow up visit and Day 8 for end of study visit.
Part B
Up to approximately 16 participants will be enrolled into two cohorts- B1 and B2. Each cohort will consist of 8 participants (6 to receive ABI-2280 Vaginal Gel or Tablet and 2 to receive placebo).
Participants will be screened up to 49 days prior to Day 1 dose administration. For cohorts B1 and B2, participants may be admitted to the research unit on Days -1 and 4 and discharged on Days 2 & 6 or if feasible, may be admitted through Day -1 to Day 5 and discharged on Day 6. On Days 1 & 5, they will receive the first and last doses of ABI-2280 Vaginal Gel or Tablet or placebo.
Participants will have safety assessments and ABI-2280 or placebo administration on Days 3, safety follow-up visit on Day 9, and the End of Study (EOS) visit on Day 15.
