BEN8744 is an experimental new medicine for treating inflammatory bowel diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis.
The study will test single and repeated oral doses of BEN8744 or placebo. BEN8744 is a first in human study, so will start with a small dose and the dose will be increased as the study progresses. The goal is to find out its side effects and blood levels when taken by mouth and whether food affects the blood levels.
This is a 3-part study (Parts A, B and C) in up to 108 healthy people, aged 18-65.
Part A, will include up to 64 participants, single doses of BEN8744 or placebo. They'll take about 2 weeks to finish the study, stay on the ward for 4 nights and 5 days in a row and make 2 outpatient visits.
Part B, will include up to 12 participants, single doses of BEN8744 with and without food. They'll take up to 3 weeks to finish the study, stay on the ward for 4 nights and 5 days in a row on 2 occasions, and make 2 outpatient visits.
Part C will include up to 32 participants repeat doses of the BEN8744 or placebo for 14 days. They'll take about 4 weeks to complete the study, stay on the ward for 17 nights and 18 days in a row and make 2 outpatient visits.

Phase 1
London, United Kingdom
This first time in human, study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) of BEN8744 after single and multiple ascending oral doses in healthy subjects, in both the fed and fasted state. The results of this study will be used to select doses for subsequent studies in patients. This is an exploratory study in healthy volunteers, with no anticipated therapeutic benefit to the participants; involvement of patients, service users or members of the public in the design of the trial is not appropriate.
Primary objectives Part A: To assess the safety and tolerability of single ascending oral doses of BEN8744 in healthy subjects Part B: To characterise the effect of food on the pharmacokinetic profile of at least 1 dose of BEN8744 Part C: To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending oral doses of BEN8744 in healthy subjects
Secondary objectives Part A: To assess the PK profile of BEN8744 after single oral doses in healthy subjects Part B: To assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of BEN8744 following high-fat food intake relative to fasting conditions in healthy subjects Part C: To assess the PK profile of BEN8744 after repeated oral doses in healthy subjects

Time frame: From Baseline (predose on Day 1) through 72 hours postdose
The investigator/designee scored the participant's level of alertness on a scale of 0 (absence of response to stimulus) to 5 (readily responsive to the subject's name in a normal tone) in each of 4 components (responsiveness, speech, facial expression, eyes). The composite score corresponds to the lowest score for any component. The sum is the sum of the 4 component scores, ranging from 9 to 20. Positive change in composite score or sum is a better outcome; negative change is a worse outcome.
