Details and patient eligibility

About

An open-label, randomized, three-period, three-way crossover trial of single doses of IX-01 in 12 healthy male subjects. In each period, subjects will receive a single oral dose of 1600 mg IX-01, either as an aqueous dispersion in a fasted state, or as caplets in the fed or fasted state

Full description

This is a Relative Bioavailability Study to compare single oral doses of 1600mg IX-01, either as an aqueous dispersion in a fasted state, or as caplets in the fed or fasted state. Each volunteer in the study will receive each of the formulations listed below. Each formulation will be separated by at least a 5-day drug-free (washout) period.

• Treatment A: A single 1600 mg (4 x 400 caplets) oral dose of IX-01 under fasted conditions
• Treatment B: A single 1600 mg (4 x 400 caplets) oral dose of IX-01 under fed conditions
• Treatment C: A single 1600 mg aqueous dispersion (20 mL) oral dose of IX-01 under fasted conditions.

In the fasted treatment periods, dosing will follow an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.

In the fed treatment period, following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, a standard high-calorie, high-fat breakfast meal will be given 30 minutes prior to administration of the study drug.

There will be a final follow-up visit 7-10 days after the final dose of study medication.

Enrollment: 12 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18 to 45 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Exclusion criteria

• Clinically relevant abnormal history, physical findings, ECG, or laboratory values at screening that could interfere with the objectives of the trial or safety of the volunteer, including any of the following:

• QTcF interval >450 msec at screening
• Bundle branch block or another conduction abnormality during an ECG, other than mild first degree atrio-ventricular block, judged clinically significant
• Irregular rhythms during an ECG, other than sinus arrhythmia or occasional supraventricular ectopic beats, judged clinically significant
• T-wave configuration of insufficient quality for determination of QT interval, as assessed by ECG and judged clinically significant by the Investigator
• Presence of acute or chronic illness or history of chronic illness sufficient to invalidate participation in the trial or make study participation unnecessarily hazardous

• Previous allergic response which involved hives, swelling, shortness of breath, or anaphylaxis
• Has used any over-the-counter medications, nutritional or dietary supplements, herbal preparations, or vitamins, except short courses of medication (such as acetaminophen), that could interfere with subject safety or the integrity of the trial data within 7 days prior to the first dose of medication
• Any prescription medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication
• Participation in another clinical trial within 60 days prior to the first dose of study medication
• Previous participation in this trial or any other clinical trial of an oxytocin receptor antagonist
• Presence or history of drug or alcohol abuse, or intake of more than 21 units of alcohol weekly or more than 5 cigarettes daily
• Unwilling or unable to comply with all protocol requirements
• Positive urine screen for drugs of abuse
• Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody or Human Immunodeficiency Virus at screening or previously treated for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection
