Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Part 3 of this study takes the form of a a randomised, open label, 2-way crossover study, consistent with United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance on studies to investigate the effect of food on the bioavailability of investigational drugs.

Part 3, Effects of Food on SDC-1801 in Healthy Adults

Part 3 will have a randomised, open label, 2-way crossover design, and will run in parallel with Part 2 of the study. It will consist of one cohort of 16 healthy adults. Participants who have enrolled in Parts 1 or 2 of the study will not be permitted to be enrolled in Part 3 of the study.

The SDC-1801 dose to be administered will be decided by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) based upon the SDC-1801 pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety profiles observed in Part 1 of the study. The dose that is selected for Part 3 of the study will have been demonstrated to be well tolerated, and the exposure at that dose would not have exceeded that seen at the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) (in the most sensitive toxicology species, the dog) in Part 1 of the study.

Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following treatment sequences:

Fed, Fasted: following a fast of at least 8 hours, one single oral dose of SDC-1801 administered 30 minutes after starting a standardised breakfast (meal completed within 30 minutes), then a washout period of at least 7 days, then one single oral dose of SDC-1801 administered after a fast of at least 8 hours.

OR

Fasted, Fed: one single oral dose of SDC-1801 administered after a fast of at least 8 hours, then a washout period of at least 7 days, then (following a fast of at least 8 hours) one single oral dose of SDC-1801 administered 30 minutes after starting a standardised breakfast (meal completed within 30 minutes).

The composition of the standardised breakfast that patients will receive in the Fed condition is as follows:

Protein - 150 calories
Carbohydrate - 250 calories
Fat - 500 to 600 calories
Total Calories = 800-1000 calories

Compliance to dosing of SDC-1801 will be confirmed by examination of each participant's mouth post-dose to confirm that each capsule has been swallowed.

Participants will be administered the dose of study drug in Study Period 2 at approximately the same time as it was given in Study Period 1.

The participants will be confined to the Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) for Study Period 1 (from mid-afternoon or evening of Day -1 to approximately 120 hours after the first dose of study drug [i.e. Day 6]), then they will have the 7-day washout period at home. Participants will return to the CPU for Study Period 2 and be confined there from mid-afternoon or evening of Day 14 to approximately 120 hours after the second dose of study drug (i.e. Day 20). A follow-up visit will take place 14 ± 3 days after administration of the second dose of study drug. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 9 weeks (Screening Visit to Follow-up Visit) and will receive 2 doses of SDC-1801.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Part 3 is an open label study, no placebo or control treatment will be administered.

Participants in Part 3, when under Fasted conditions, will be subject to an overnight fast of at least 8 hours prior to receiving their oral dose of SDC-1801. Participants are allowed to drink water during the fasting period.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 334331 0
In addition to the to the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of a single ascending dose (SAD) and 10 days of multiple ascending doses (MAD) of oral SDC-1801 compared with placebo in healthy adults in Parts 1 & 2, Part 3 of this study will compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of SDC-1801 as a formulated capsule when administered in fed and fasted states to healthy adults (food effect).

Assessment of a food effect of a high-calorie, high-fat breakfast will be done by comparing data from the oral capsule/s in the fasted state with that obtained in the fed state. For the comparisons, ln-transformed PK parameters (Cmax, C24, AUC0-24, t½) of SDC-1801 will be subjected to a mixed-effects model. Point estimates of ln-transformed data for treatment Y (fed state) versus ln-transformed SDC-1801 data for treatment X (fasted state) will be calculated as the geometric mean ratio, expressed as a percentage. Treatment X will be considered as the reference treatment for the comparison.

Food effect will be evaluated by review of the 90% confidence interval obtained from the comparison of treatment Y vs treatment X.
Timepoint [1] 334331 0
To determine the food effect of a high-calorie, high-fat breakfast on the PK profile of SDC-1801, blood samples for PK analysis will be taken from participants in Part 3 of the study, in either fed, or fasted states at the following timepoints while the participants are confined in the clinical research unit.

Day 1 - at pre-dose, then at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours post -dose.
Day 2 - 24h post-dose
Day 3 - 48h post-dose
Day 4 - 72h post-dose
Day 5 - 96h post-dose
Day 6 - 120h post-dose

Participants will then be discharged from the unit for a 7 day washout period, to be conducted in their home, and return to the unit on Day 14, where after an overnight stay, they will be given a second dose of SDC-1801 in either fed or fasted states on Day 15, depending on their previous randomisation status.

PK blood samples will then be taken from participants at the following time points.

Day 15 - at pre-second dose, then at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours post-second dose.
Day 16 - 24h post-second dose
Day 17- 48h post-second dose

Summary
Brief summary
SDC-1801 is a small molecule tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2)/janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor entering clinical development for the treatment of participants with inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis. The nonclinical good laboratory practice (GLP) toxicology and safety pharmacology studies indicate that it is appropriate to cautiously assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of SDC-1801 in the context of a well-designed, first-in-human (FIH) study.

It is reasonable to say that the risk of adverse events (AEs) for JAK inhibitors are broadly similar to those for other biological disease modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) classes. However, concealed within this, there are also important differences between JAK inhibitors and bDMARDs. Tofacitinib and baricitinib have AE profile characteristics that distinguish them from the other bDMARD classes, with signals including an increased risk of herpes zoster reactivation, elevation in lipids, and decreases in haemoglobin and lymphocytes (including natural killer cells).

Based on available nonclinical data, SDC-1801 is a potent and selective small molecule TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor currently in development for inflammatory and autoimmune indications, and it has the potential to have an improved safety profile and similar efficacy profile compared with other JAK inhibitors and specific TYK2 inhibitors.

A randomised, placebo controlled, dose-escalation, sequential group design is regarded as an appropriate standard design to initiate the cautious assessment of safety, tolerability, and PK of a new investigational product in healthy volunteers.

The chosen sample sizes will provide sufficient data to make an initial assessment of the safety, tolerability, and PK of SDC-1801.

In addition, the effect of food on SDC-1801 PK will be evaluated to characterise the PK of SDC-1801 in fasted and fed conditions and to guide the selection of a dosing regimen for use in further studies.
