Study to Assess Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of XC-8

The study focusses on the evaluation of safety and tolerability of the XC8. The design of the study involves sequential dosing of cohorts (group of volunteers), taking increasing doses of the product after receiving conclusion and recommendation for further continuation of the study from the Dose Escalation Committee.

The birth control method must have been applied for at least 1 cycle before and until 3 months after administration of the study medication.

  • Subjects are willing and able (in the opinion of the investigator) to understand and comply with the procedures and evaluations of the study.
  • Subjects must be willing and legally able to give written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Hepatic or renal disease; any other disease, which may influence the clinical trial results or may lead to health worsening during the trial (according to the investigator's opinion);
  • Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities;
  • Use of any medication, including prophylaxis, within 1 month before screening (including herbal preparations and nutritional supplements);

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Adverse events per treatment arm

    Time frame: Change from pre-dose up to Day 36

    Adverse events will be summarized descriptively by treatment arm. Verbatim terms will be mapped to preferred terms and organ systems using the current Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version. For each preferred term, frequency counts and percentages will be calculated by cohort.The nature, severity, seriousness, and relationship to study medication will be summarized for all study subjects

  2. Laboratory data

    Time frame: Changes from Day 1 (pre-dose) till Day 2

    Laboratory data (hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) will be summarized by treatment arm. Changes from pre-dose will be presented using shift tables (employing the categories 'normal', 'abnormal, clinically not significant' and 'abnormal, clinically significant') and absolute changes in laboratory values, if appropriate.

  3. Laboratory data

    Time frame: Changes from Day 8 (pre-dose) till Day 10

    Laboratory data (hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) will be summarized by treatment arm. Changes from pre-dose will be presented using shift tables (employing the categories 'normal', 'abnormal, clinically not significant' and 'abnormal, clinically significant') and absolute changes in laboratory values, if appropriate.

  4. Laboratory data

    Time frame: Changes from Day 8 (pre-dose) till Day 15

    Laboratory data (hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis) will be summarized by treatment arm. Changes from pre-dose will be presented using shift tables (employing the categories 'normal', 'abnormal, clinically not significant' and 'abnormal, clinically significant') and absolute changes in laboratory values, if appropriate.

  5. Physical examination

    Time frame: Day 1

    Physical examination results will be listed for following: general appearance, skin, head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck (including thyroid), lymph nodes, chest, heart, abdomen (including liver examination), extremities, and nervous system.

  6. Physical examination

    Time frame: Day 8

    Physical examination results will be listed for following: general appearance, skin, head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck (including thyroid), lymph nodes, chest, heart, abdomen (including liver examination), extremities, and nervous system.
