Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Topical agent for reduction or prevention of scar formation following burn injury. Topical agent PXS6302 is a lysl oxidase inhibitor for collagen cross linking formation. The formation of cross-links is catalysed by a family of 5 lysyl oxidase (LOX) enzymes, with LOX and lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) being the dominant forms in the skin. These enzymes catalyse the oxidation of lysine residues in collagen resulting in the formation of reactive aldehydes which spontaneously react, either with other aldehydes or with unmodified lysine residues. This results in the formation of cross-links between the collagen strands, making the collagen less soluble and more resistant against enzymatic degradation. Consequently, reducing cross-linking of collagen decreases stability and leads to increased degradation. Inhibiting LOX activity in scars may reduce collagen stability.

Investigational Products Administered

Part 1: Single Ascending Dose Arm
PXS-6302 Cream Topical
Cohort 1: 0.6 mg (0.3%) Single application on Day 1
Cohort 2: 2 mg (1.0%)
Cohort 3: 4 mg (2.0%)
Cohort 4: 8 mg (4.0%)
Part 2: Multiple Dose Arm
PXS-6302 Cream Topical Cohort 1: Dose TBC* Every day for 7 days
*The dose will be confirmed following the review of safety, tolerability, and PK findings from Part 1.

All doses of PXS-6302 will be applied by appropriately trained study center staff. The dose will be applied to the subject’s lateral thigh via a syringe.

The same volume will be provided per syringe for each dose level. Each syringe will contain 1 mL of PXS-6302. The first 200 µL is to be discarded, with the subsequent 200 µL applied to the subject’s skin. Any remaining study drug will be left within the syringe for accountability purposes. The cream should be spread using a gloved hand over an area of 10 cm2 (to an area 5 x 2 cm). The study drug should be allowed to absorb into the skin for at least 5 minutes following application, then no restrictions on touching or covering the area will apply.
Either leg may be selected for dosing and there will be no restrictions on hair density around dosing area and no restrictions on skin pigment/colour or minor blemishes for the dosing area. Areas containing tattoos, scars or moles should be avoided. Hair around dosing area may be trimmed to assist with visualizing the area, however, should not be shaved.

In Part 1, PXS-6302 will be applied as a single dose on Day 1. In Part 2, PXS-6302 will be applied at approximately the same time every day over the same skin area for 7 days (Days 1 to 7).
The Investigator or designee is responsible for the education of study staff as to the correct administration of the investigational product.
PXS-6302 will be removed from storage at 2-8°C and kept at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to being administered by the study staff.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 325307 0
To investigate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses and multiple doses of PXS-6302 in healthy volunteers. Safety and tolerability will be assessed via the incidence and severity of adverse events (i.e, adverse event, serious adverse event, unexpected serious adverse reaction).
The Investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the study using the CTCAE V5.0 criteria. The assessments will be based on the Investigator’s clinical judgment. The severity of each AE and SAE recorded in the eCRF should be assigned to one of the following:

Grade 1: Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated

Grade 2: Moderate; minimal, local or non-invasive intervention indicated; limiting age appropriate instrumental Activities of Daily Living (ADL)

Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL

Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated
Grade 5: Death related to AE.

Safety and tolerability is also assessed via participant self report and dermatological investigation performed by study principal investigator.
