Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a Phase 1A, open label, single ascending dose (SAD) study to evaluate the safety, PK (including oral bioavailability) and PD of intravenous (IV) and oral doses of BRN-002 in healthy subjects.
There will be 5 Cohorts of 6 healthy subjects. Each subject will receive a single IV dose of BRN-002. Cohort 2 will also receive a single equivalent oral dose of BRN-002 to evaluate oral bioavailability, one week after IV dosing. Subjects will be enrolled into Cohorts sequentially, with the exception of Cohort 1 & 2, that will be dosed simultaneously.
Investigational Product: BRN-002
Subjects will receive a single IV dose of 50, 250, 500, 1000 or 1500 mg/kg of BRN-002 administered as an infusion over 2 hours; subjects in Cohort 2 will also receive an equivalent oral dose of 250 mg/kg as an oral solution.
A Cohort Review Committee will evaluate the safety of each subject and the combined Cohorts prior to dose escalation in Cohorts 3, 4, and 5. Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 will be dosed
simultaneously.
The study duration will be up to 42 days for an individual subjects in Cohorts 1, 3, 4, and 5 and up to 60 days for an individual subject in cohort 2.
The treatment duration will be a single dose for Cohorts 1, 3, 4, and 5 and two single dose administrations for subjects in Cohort 2.
