Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety and tolerability of a single ascending dose (SAD) of GB-0669 administered intravenously in adults. The goal of this study is also to measure the blood levels of GB-0669 in the body.

Study participants will be assigned to receive the study drug or placebo (the placebo is called saline; it is a liquid like salt water and made to look like the study drug but contains no active ingredient).

The study is blinded, which means you and the study doctor will not know whether you are getting the study drug or placebo.

Study participants will be assigned to one of 5 cohorts (study groups). Each cohort will have a single ascending dose (SAD). The first two SAD cohorts will have 3 study participants receiving GB-0669 and 3 study participants receiving placebo. The last three SAD cohorts will have 10 study participants receiving GB-0669 and 3 study participants receiving placebo. The SAD cohort dose levels will be as follows: 100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg, 1200 mg, 2400 mg.

Full description

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled first in human (FIH) trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GB-0669 in healthy study participants. The trial is designed to administer the GB-0669 drug product intravenously at 5 single ascending dose (SAD) cohort dose levels.

Eligible study participants will be screened and randomized to receive either GB-0669 or placebo in each cohort. The safety of the participants enrolled in this trial will be carefully monitored. There will be an independent safety review committee (iSRC) that will review ongoing safety for this trial and provide recommendations to proceed with the cohorts.

Enrollment: 51 patients

11. Female subjects of childbearing potential, defined as any woman who has experienced menarche and who is not permanently sterile or postmenopausal, must have negative blood pregnancy tests at screening (and negative urine pregnancy tests on Day 1) and must agree to use protocol-defined methods of contraception from screening through at least 90 days after study completion

History or presence of significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematological, oncological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurological, or psychiatric disease, including any acute illness or surgery within the past 3 months determined by the principal investigator (PI) to be clinically relevant. Subjects with localized cancers treated with curative intent and not on active therapy are allowed
2. Current infection that requires antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasitic or antiviral medications
3. Acute illness or fever within 3 days before study enrollment (enrollment may be delayed for full recovery if acceptable to the investigator)
4. Abnormal EKG or any known cardiac condition determined by the PI to be clinically Current infection that requires antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasitic or antiviral medications
