Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a Phase I single center, open-label, parallel design in 30 subjects to evaluate safety and tolerability of CX-4945 200mg QD, 200 mg BID and 400mg BID doses (10 subjects in each regimen) for continuously 5 days in healthy subjects for dose selection.

Full description

COVID-19 is characterized by SARS-CoV-2 induced up-regulation of host protein kinase CK2 that catalyzes phosphorylation of many proteins, modulating their activities in cellular processes. CX-4945 demonstrated anti-viral efficacy in COVID-19 in vitro studies. In CX4945-AV01-IIT(IND 152726), CX-4945 was a safe treatment at 1000 mg BID regimen supported by the fact of no occurrence of treatment related Grade ≥ 3 AE, death or SUSAR. There were approximately 50 % of patients who experienced gastrointestinal disorders of grade 1-2. In CX4945-AV01-IIT, an out-patient study, there were 50% experienced gastrointestinal disorders. To further evaluate the safety and tolerability of CX-4945, this phase 1 study will use lower doses and subjects will be close-monitored to evaluate the safety.
