Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of the study is to understand the gastrointestinal transit time and disintegration behavior of the formulations in vivo in normal healthy volunteers when ALLN-346 formulations are given with light meal or in fasted or other fed states.

Full description

This study includes two parts. Part One will evaluate two ALLN-346 formulations, a fast release and a slower sustained release. Subjects will receive a single tablet of each formulation and a capsule of each formulation at separate assessment visits. Subjects will attend a maximum of 4 assessment visits. The primary purpose of this part of the study is to understand the gastrointestinal transit time and disintegration behaviour of the formulations in vivo in normal healthy volunteers when ALLN-346 formulations are given with light meal.

Part Two will involve a second cohort of subjects and will comprise further scintigraphic studies on one or both formulation(s) from Part One in fasted and/or fed states. Subjects will attend a maximum of 4 assessment visits, the number of treatment arms will be decided following completion of Part One.

Enrollment: 12 patients

12 participants in 2 patient groups

Part One

Experimental group

Description:

Four Study Treatments will be dosed during Part One of the study with radiolabelled ALLN-346 tablets (in 12 subjects): Treatment A ALLN-346 enteric coated (EC) fast release tablet; Treatment B ALLN-346 fast release capsule; Treatment C ALLN-346 EC slow release tablet; Treatment D ALLN-346 slow release capsule. Subjects will be dosed in a lightly fed state.

Treatment:

Drug: Each ALLN-346 treatment will be radiolabelled to contain 4 MBq 99mTc at time of dosing with light meal

Part Two

Experimental group

Description:

Following completion of Part One of the study, study treatment (one or both of those administered in Part One) and dosing requirements will be confirmed for dosing in Part Two, to be administered in fasted and/or fed states (in 12 subjects).

Treatment:

Drug: Each ALLN-346 treatment will be radiolabelled to contain 4 MBq 99mTc at time of dosing in fasted/fed state
