About this study

PN-881 will be administered in oral solution and tablet formulations, with dosing under fasting or fed conditions depending on the study part.

The study consists of five parts:

Part 1 - Single Ascending Dose (SAD): Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Part 2 - Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD): Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Part 3 - Tablet Formulation Comparison: Open-label, crossover design; participants will receive different oral tablet formulations Part 4 - Effect of Food: Open-label, crossover design to assess the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of PN-881. Participants will receive PN-881 tablet formulations in fasted and fed conditions.

Part 5 - Dosing Frequency Comparison: Open-label, randomized study comparing once-daily and twice-daily dosing.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Predose to 7 days after last dose

    Evaluate the safety and tolerability of PN-881 in comparison to placebo after single and multiple doses in healthy subjects assessed for severity, seriousness, and relation to the investigational product.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of PN-881

    Time frame: 48 hours following the first dose and the last dose

    Highest measured plasma concentration of PN-881 following oral administration.

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of PN-881

    Time frame: Predose to 48 hours after the first and last dose.

    AUC calculated from 0 to infinity.

  3. Levels of biomarker in serum

    Time frame: Day 1 Predose up to 48 hours post (last) dose

    Pharmacodynamics (PD) of PN-881 by means of increase in levels of biomarker by PN-881 after single and multiple oral doses.
