About this study

The study consists of two parts, Part 1 includes single ascending dose (SAD) and food effect (FE) assessments, FE assessments will be conducted in a selected dose cohort from the single ascending dose phase, using the same subjects after an appropriate washout period, AND Part 2 includes multiple ascending dose (MAD) evaluations. Safety, PK, PD, and concentration-QTc relationship will be assessed across dose levels.

Dose escalation decisions will be based on the review of available safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic data by a Safety Monitoring Committee.

Treatment and study plan

ISM4808

Drug

ISM4808 administered orally as capsules in single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose regimens, with flexible dosing schedules based on emerging safety and pharmacokinetic data.

Placebo

Drug

Matching placebo administered orally under the same conditions as ISM4808.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Time frame: SAD/food-effect cohorts: From first dose up to Day 9; MAD cohorts: From first dose up to Day 18

    A TEAE is an adverse event (AE) occurrence in a subject who received study drug whether or not considered related to the study product.

    Any adverse event resulting in death, life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment is categorized as SAE.

    The number of participants who experience at least one TEAE and SAE will be presented.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of ISM4808

    Time frame: SAD/Food-effect cohorts: Pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose

    t1/2 is the time required for the plasma concentration of ISM4808 to decrease by half in the terminal phase. It is derived from the terminal slope of the concentration versus time curve

  2. Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    t1/2 is the time required for the plasma concentration of ISM4808 to decrease by half in the terminal phase. It is derived from the terminal slope of the concentration versus time curve

  3. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of ISM4808

    Time frame: SAD/Food-effect cohorts: Pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose

    Tmax is the time at which the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) is reached, determined directly from the plasma concentration-time data

  4. Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    Tmax is the time at which the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) is reached, determined directly from the plasma concentration-time data

  5. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of ISM4808

    Time frame: SAD/Food-effect cohorts: Pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose

    Cmax will be derived directly from the plasma concentration-time profiles

  6. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    Cmax will be derived directly from the plasma concentration-time profiles

  7. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of ISM4808

    Time frame: SAD/Food-effect cohorts: Pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose

    AUC0-t will be calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal method

  8. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve within a dosing interval (AUC0-tau) of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    AUC0-tau is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve within the specified dosing interval, calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal method

  9. Average Steady-state Plasma Concentration (Cav) of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    Cav will be calculated as AUC 0- tau divided by the dosing interval tau

  10. Amount Excreted into Urine (Ae)of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: 0-24 hours post dose on Day 10

    Ae is the total amount of unchanged drug excreted in the urine

  11. Percentage of dose excreted in urine (Ae%) of ISM4808

    Time frame: MAD cohorts: 0-24 hours post dose on Day 10

    The percentage of the administered dose that is excreted as unchanged drug in the urine

Other outcomes

  1. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Erythropoietin (EPO)

    Time frame: SAD cohorts: From Day 1 pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose; MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    Cmax is the maximum serum concentration observed after dosing. This will be evaluated as part of the pharmacodynamic (PD) assessment of ISM4808

  2. Time to Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax) of EPO

    Time frame: SAD cohorts: From Day 1 pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose ; MAD cohorts: Day 1 pre-dose, Day 1 and Day 10

    Tmax is the time at which the maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax) is reached, determined directly from the serum concentration-time data

  3. Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of EPO

    Time frame: SAD cohorts: Pre-dose through 72 hours post-dose ; MAD cohorts: Day 1 and Day 10

    AUC0-t will be calculated using the linear-log trapezoidal method

  4. Correlation Between plasma ISM4808 Concentration and Placebo-Corrected Change From Baseline in QTcF Interval

    Time frame: SAD/food-effect cohorts: From pre-dose (baseline) up to Day 9; MAD cohorts: From pre-dose (baseline) up to Day 18

    A Concentration-QT (C-QT) modeling analysis will be performed using plasma ISM4808 concentration data matched with ECG sampling time points. The correlation between the drug concentration and the placebo-corrected change from baseline in QTcF (measured in milliseconds [ms] via 12-lead Electrocardiogram [ECG]) will be evaluated using a linear mixed-effects model to estimate the concentration-dependent effect on the QTc interval.
