A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BAL2420 in Healthy Adult Subjects

BAL2420 (also known as BAL0302420) is being developed as an antibacterial agent for the treatment of severe infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, the sponsor aims to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BAL2420 following administration of single ascending doses (Part A) and multiple ascending doses (Parts B and C) in healthy adult volunteers. In all parts of the study, in each cohort, a different dose of study drug is to be investigated against a matched placebo in a randomized and double-blind manner.

Exclusion criteria

  • Any uncontrolled or active major systemic disease,
  • Active infection
  • Acute illness within 5 days prior to the first study drug administration that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may impact safety assessments.
  • Clinically-significant physical examination, vital signs, laboratory safety tests, or ECG abnormalities

  • Average intake of more than 24 units of alcohol per week: one unit of alcohol equals approximately 250 mL of beer, 100 mL of wine, or 35 mL of spirits.
  • Positive screen for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibodies, hepatitis C virus antibodies, human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2 antibodies, or syphilis at screening. Note: Hepatitis B vaccination is allowed.
