Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Accro Bioscience is developing AC-201, a potent and selective oral small molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) and JAK1, indicated for treatment of the moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Dosage Form:Tablet
Mode of Administration:Oral
For Part 1 (Single Ascending Dose):
A total of 40 subjects in 5 dose levels including 5mg,15mg,50mg,100mg and 200mg will be evaluated.Subjects will take investigational drug or placebo under fasted condition.
For each cohort, subjects will be admitted to the clinical research unit(CRU) on Day -1 before dosing (Day 1) and remain sequestered at the CRU until Day 4
Cohort1:5mg AC-201 single oral administration on Day1
Cohort2:15mg AC-201 single oral administration on Day1
Cohort3:50mg AC-201 single oral administration on Day1
Cohort4:100mg AC-201 single oral administration on Day1
Cohort5:200mg AC-201 single oral administration on Day1
lmmediately after dose administration, visual,inspection of the mouth and hands will be performed for each subject.

Part 3 (Multiple Ascending Dose):
AC-201 dosing regimens (dose levels and duration of administration) will be modified based on the collective SAD PK and safety data from Part 1 and Part 2. SRC meeting to review safety data prior to dose escalation to subsequent cohort.
A total 30 subjects(these participants will be unique to the participants enrolled in Part 1),in 3 dose levels including 5mg(once daily), 15mg(twice daily) and 50mg(once daily) will be evaluated;
Subjects will take investigational drug or placebo under fasted condition and will have a total of 16 overnight stays
Cohort1:5mg AC-201 once daily for consecutive oral 14 days i.eDay1 to Day 14;
Cohort2:15mg AC-201 twice daily for consecutive oral 14 days i.eDay1 to Day 14;
Cohort3:50mg AC-201 once daily for consecutive oral 14 days i.eDay1 to Day 14;
(10 subjects in each dose cohort for a total of 3 cohorts,8subjects randomized to active drug and 2 subjects randomized to placebo per cohort). The dosing regimen is for a consecutive 14 days (AC-201/Placebo will be taken orally once in the morning on D14 in the 15 mg bid cohort). Subjects will take investigational drug or placebo under fasted condition and will have a total of 16 overnight stays (admission on Day -1 until Day 16 in the study).
lmmediately after dose administration, visual,inspection of the mouth and hands will be performed for each subject.

All doses of study drug will be administered orally with approximately 240 mL of room temperature water. Water consumption will be restricted from 1h prior to dosing until 2h after dosing, when water will be available to maintain adequate hydration. For some participants, they may require extra water. Providing additional water eg. 100 mL to be allowed and documented to assist with dose administration if required.

ln part 1 and part 3 the participants are dosed at the site, they will receive study treatment directly from the Investigator or designee, under medical supervision. lmmediately after dose administration, visual,inspection of the mouth and hands will be performed for each subject. The date and time of each dose administered will be recorded in the source documents. The dose of study treatment and study participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing by a member of the study site staff other than the person administering the study treatment.
