Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
MB-001 consists of capsules for oral administration containing 1mg, 10mg or 30mg of drug substance. Drug administration will take place under observation of site staff.

Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Stage in Healthy Participants
A single dose of MB-001 or matching placebo will be administered to up to 5 cohorts at doses of 1mg, 3mg, 10mg, 30mg and 90mg.

Approximately 4 weeks after completion of the SAD stage, the Multiple Ascending Dose Stage will begin once all the SAD data have been analysed. Participants in the SAD stage will not be able to participate in the MAD stage.

Multiple Ascending Dose Stage in Healthy Participants
A single dose of MB-001 or matching placebo will be administered daily for 5 consecutive days to up to 2 cohorts at doses of 20mg and 60mg.

Minimum age
18 Years

4. Regularly consumes more than 2 units of alcoholic beverages per day or more than 14 units per week (1 unit of alcohol equals 1 pint [473 mL] of beer or lager, 1 glass [125 mL] of wine, 25 mL shot of 40% spirit) within 1 month prior to screening.

20. Has a history of any known relevant allergy/hypersensitivity or intolerance (including allergy or intolerance to the study medication or its excipients, or to other humanized monoclonal antibodies).
21. Has clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies, intolerance to topical corticosteroids, or severe post-treatment hypersensitivity reactions (including, but not limited to, erythema multiforme major, linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and exfoliative dermatitis).
22. Has a sensitivity to heparin or history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
23. Has a clinically significant infection requiring the use of oral or intravenous anti-infective therapy within 30 days prior to screening.
24. Has abnormal blood pressure, as determined by the Investigator, at screening or Day -1.
25. Has a clinically significant medical condition that, in the investigator’s opinion, would preclude participation in the study.
26. Has a positive urine drug screen (including methamphetamine, opiates, cocaine, tetrahydrocannabinol, phencyclidine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, tricyclic antidepressants, and amphetamine) at screening or Day -1. Repeat analyses will be allowed if the investigator suspects that there might be false positive results.
27. Has a positive alcohol breath test at screening or Day -1.
28. Has had prior exposure to MB-001.
29. Has participated in a study of any investigational drug, device, biologic, or other agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to signing the ICF, whichever is longer.

30 days prior to first dose of study drug.
31. Participation in strenuous exercise within 3 days prior to first dose of study drug.
32. Has any history of clinically significant endocrine, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hematological, hepatic, immunological, renal, respiratory, genitourinary, or major neurological (including stroke and chronic seizures) abnormalities, diseases, or genetic conditions. Participants with a remote history of uncomplicated medical events (e.g., uncomplicated kidney stones, as defined as spontaneous passage and no recurrence in the last 5 years, or childhood asthma) may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.
33. Has any clinically significant abnormality identified in the physical examination (including vital signs), laboratory testing, or ECG testing at screening or Day -1. Repeat testing of vital signs to confirm the value is allowed.
