About

This is a Phase 1, 4-part, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of TD-1058 inhaled solution. Part A is a SAD study in healthy subjects, Part B is a MAD study in healthy subjects, Part C is a multiple-dose study in subjects with IPF, and Part D studies lung bioavailability and renal elimination in Healthy Subjects.

Full description

A Phase 1, 3-part, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, first in human study.

Part A is a single ascending dose (SAD) study in up to 5 cohorts of 8 healthy subjects (6 active and 2 placebo).

Part B is a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in up to 4 cohorts of 8 healthy subjects (6 active and 2 placebo).

Part C is a 28 day multiple-dose study in up to 2 cohorts of 12 IPF subjects (8 active and 4 placebo). The dose levels administered in Part C will not exceed those previously administered in Part B which were shown to be well tolerated.

Part D studies lung bioavailability and renal elimination in Healthy Subjects.
