Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Part 2: MAD. Approximately 10 healthy elderly volunteers in cohort 5 in Part 2, with 8 participants randomised to receive an oral dose of SIR9900 once daily (QD) for 10 consecutive days and 2 to receive an oral dose of placebo once daily for 10 consecutive days. The following dose level cohort is planned:

• Cohort 5# (healthy elderly volunteers): 30 mg

# The MAD cohort 5 (healthy elderly volunteers, 30 mg) can proceed after Safety Review Committee (SRC) review of MAD cohort 3 (healthy adults, 30 mg), and so may overlap with MAD cohort 4 (60 mg). MAD cohort 3 and cohort 4 are from the linked study ACTRN12623000696695.

During the treatment period of Part 2 MAD study, participants will remain admitted to the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) from Day 1 until Day 14.

SIR9900 will be supplied as tablets for oral administration at dosage strength of 10mg.

Adherence to Intervention will be managed via recording in appropriate drug accountability records.
Intervention code [1] 326368 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Placebo tablets for oral administration will be matched in appearance to SIR9900 tablets and supplied at a dosage strength of 10 mg. SIR9900 placebo tablets production process was that Lactose, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose sodium, Colloidal Silica Dioxide and Magnesium Stearate were blended and compressed to form tablets.
Control group
Placebo

1. AE's and Serious Adverse Events (SAE's) will be coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and grouped by system organ class (SOC) and preferred terms (PT). AE's and SAE's will be continuously assessed as they are reported or observed and reviewed daily from post dose of Investigational product (IP) on Day 1 until the follow up visit on Day 21.

2. Single 12-lead ECG will be performed at all scheduled time points after at least 10 minutes supine at Screening, within 60mins pre-dose and within 3 hours post-dose on Day 1, Day 4, Day 7 and Day 10 then Day 14 and Day 21 (Follow-Up Visit).

3. Vital signs (Blood pressure, heart rate, tympanic temperature and respiratory rate) are assessed at the Screening Visit, Day -1, Days 1 -10 (within 60 minutes pre-dose and 3 hours post dose), then Day 11, Day 12, Day 13, Day 14 and Day 21 (Follow-Up Visit),
- Blood pressure will be assessed pre dose using a sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff ). Blood pressure readings will be collected in triplicate and will be measured with 1-3 min interval between readings at screening only. Blood pressure will be measured with participant in a sitting position for atleast5 minutes at screening, and participant in a supine position for at least 5 minutes at other visits
- Heart Rate will be assessed pre dose and post dose by counting the number of heart beats.
- Tympanic Temperature will be assessed pre dose and post dose using a tympanic thermometer.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants will be randomised to receive active treatment or Placebo according to the randomisation schedule and plan prepared prior to study start. Code-break tamper-evident envelopes containing treatment allocation per participant will be provided to the study site for emergency unblinding if required.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Participants will be randomised on Day -1 or Day 1 via permuted block randomisation ( to account for sentinels and the Rest of cohort ratio allocation) and then printed on randomisation list to receive either SIR9900 or placebo at a ratio of 4:1 (8 active: 2 Placebo) for Part 2 MAD Cohort 5.

Other design features
Approximately 10 healthy elderly participants in MAD cohort 5 of Part 2 with 8 participants randomised to receive an oral dose of SIR9900 once daily (QD) for 10 consecutive days and 2 to receive an oral dose of placebo once daily for 10 consecutive days.

After the SRC favourable review of first 2 cohorts of Part 1 SAD, Part 2 (MAD) of the study may commence when safety and tolerability is satisfying and full PK data emerging from Part 1 (SAD) indicate that, following repeat dosing, the proposed Part 2 starting dose of 3 mg is predicted to result in a steady state exposure which does not exceed the exposure shown to be safe following a single dose.

The MAD cohort 5 (healthy elderly volunteers, 30 mg) will proceed after SRC review of MAD cohort 3 (healthy adults, 30 mg), and so may overlap with MAD cohort 4 (60 mg).

Summary
Brief summary
This will be a single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and sequential cohort study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of multiple ascending doses of SIR9900 after oral administrations in healthy elderly volunteers.

One cohort of male and female healthy elderly volunteers aged greater than or equal to 65 years in Part 2 MAD, at the time of screening are eligible for recruitment.

Part 2 MAD participants will have a screening period of up to 28 days and be required on-study for approximately 3 weeks post-dose.

SIR9900 is a potent and selective allosteric RIPK1 inhibitor being developed for the potential treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune, and degenerative diseases, particularly in the central nervous system.
