PA-001 Ph.1 Study in Healthy and Elderly Subjects

This was a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled, single and multiple IV dose study conducted in 2 parts, single ascending dose and multiple ascending doses parts. The principal aim of this study was to obtain safety and tolerability data when PA-001 is administered IV as single and multiple doses to healthy subjects. This information, together with the PK data, will help establish the doses and dosing regimen suitable for future studies in patients. The study also investigated the effects of age on the PK of PA-001 prior to patient studies.

Exclusion criteria

  • History of significant hypersensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to any drug compound, food, or other substance, as determined by the investigator (or designee).
  • Positive hepatitis panel or positive human immunodeficiency virus test.
  • Positive SARS-CoV-2 test at screening or check in.
  • Have signs which shows something was not right in the ECG or history of additional risk factors for torsades de pointes.
  • Administration of a COVID 19 vaccine in the past 30 days prior to dosing.
  • Participation in a clinical study involving administration of an investigational drug (new chemical entity) in the past 30 days or 5 half lives of that drug prior to dosing, whichever is longer.
  • Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator (or designee), should not participate in this study.

Treatment and study plan

PA-001

Drug

PA-001 or Placebo was infused via IV in accordance with a randomized schedule, after a fast of at least 10 hours

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of adverse events after single and multiple IV dosed of PA-001 in healthy subjects

    Time frame: For approx. 8 weeks

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject, temporally associated with the use of study intervention. A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, met one or more of the following criteria: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in a congenital anomaly/birth defect and resulted in an important medical events. TEAEs were defined as events that occurred after start of treatment.

  2. Incidence of laboratory abnormalities (hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis test)

    Time frame: For approx. 8 weeks

    Clinical hematology parameters included: hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, platelet count, white blood cell count, total neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes, mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration and mean cell volume.

    Chemistry parameters included: blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, uric acid, albumin, total protein, bicarbonate, gamma-glutamyl transferase, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, B-type natriuretic peptide, highly sensitive troponin T and lactate dehydrogenase.

    Urinalysis parameters included: potential of hydrogen (pH), glucose, protein, blood, ketones, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, bilirubin, color and appearance, specific gravity.

  3. 12-lead electrocardiogram parameters

    Time frame: For approx. 8 weeks

    A 12-lead ECG was performed. Clinically meaningful findings in ECG assessments were based on the investigator's judgment

Secondary outcomes

  1. AUCinf of PA-001 in plasma following single and multiple IV dose

    Time frame: SAD: predose to 48 hours after start of infusion, MAD: predose to 48 hours after start of the last infusion

    AUCinf was calculated as AUClast + (Clast/kel) where Clast was the predicted plasma concentration at the last quantifiable time point from the log-linear regression analysis and kel was the terminal phase rate constant calculated by a linear regression of the log linear concentration-time curve

  2. AUClast of PA-001 in plasma following single and multiple IV dose

    Time frame: SAD: predose to 48 hours after start of infusion, MAD: predose to 48 hours after start of the last infusion

    AUClast was calculated as area under the concentration time curve from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable concentration

  3. Cmax of PA-001 in plasma following a single and multiple IV dose

    Time frame: SAD: predose to 48 hours after start of infusion, MAD: predose to 48 hours after start of the last infusion

    Cmax was maximum observed concentration. Cmax was observed directly from data

  4. T1/2 of PA-001 in plasma following single and multiple IV dose

    Time frame: SAD: predose to 48 hours after start of infusion, MAD: predose to 48 hours after start of the last infusion

    T1/2 was terminal elimination half life

  5. Percent Urinary Recovery of PA-001 following single IV dose

    Time frame: SAD only, predose to 48 hours after start of infusion

    Percentage of the dose administered recovered over the time interval, 0 hour to the end of collection
