About

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single day dosing and a separate multiple day dosing of 18-MC HCl administered orally, each part of the study having a different set of healthy male and female volunteers.

Full description

This is a Phase 1, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single day and multiple day dosing, in healthy, non-smoking, male and female volunteers.

Part 1: Single Ascending Dose (SAD)

Seven (7) healthy male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either 18-MC HCl (n=5) or placebo (n=2) in each cohort. These volunteers will receive 18-MC HCl twice in 1 day (bid).

There are 3 phases: Screening, Enrollment and Follow-Up. All participants will be assessed for safety and tolerability for 28 days. Screening begins when a participant reports to the clinical unit (CU) for a screening visit to undergo safety and compliance assessments on this day. Participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to the CU on the day prior to receiving study drug. Enrollment begins on Day 1 where participants will receive two doses of study drug for 1 day, will be assessed for 18-MC PK up to 48 hours, and will remain admitted at the CU until Day 3, at which time they will be discharged. For follow-up the participants will return for safety and tolerability assessments at Days 7, 14, 21 and Day 28.

Part 2: Multiple Day Ascending Dose (MAD)

Seven (7) healthy male and female volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive either 18-MC HCl (n=5) or placebo (n=2) in each cohort. These volunteers will receive 18-MC HCl twice over 7 days (bid).

There are 3 phases: Screening, Enrollment and Follow-Up. All participants will be assessed for 42 days. Screening begins when a participant reports to the clinical unit (CU) for a screening visit to undergo safety and compliance assessments on this day. Participants that meet all eligibility criteria will be admitted to the CU on the day prior to receiving study drug. Enrollment begins on Day 1 where participants will receive two doses of study drug every day for 7 days, will be assessed for 18-MC PK up to 48 hours on Day 1 and Day 7, and will remain admitted at the CU until Day 9, at which time they will be discharged. For follow-up the participants will return for safety and tolerability assessments at Days 14, 21, 28, 35 and Day 42.
