Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of APX001 Administered by Intravenous Infusion to Healthy Subjects

First In Human (FIH), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) escalation study of approximately 80 subjects. The SAD portion of the study will enroll six cohorts of eight healthy subjects per cohort, for a total of approximately 48 healthy subjects. The MAD portion of the study will enroll four cohorts of eight healthy subjects per cohort, for a total of approximately 32 healthy subjects.

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of APX001 as measured by adverse events (AEs), physical examinations (PE), vital signs (VS), laboratory safety tests, urinalysis and 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG).

    Time frame: 21 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of APX001 as measured by maximum observed concentration (Cmax).

    Time frame: 21 days

  2. Pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of APX001 as measured by area under the curve (AUC).

    Time frame: 21 days

  3. Pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of APX001 as measured by terminal phase half-life (t1/2).

    Time frame: 21 days

  4. Pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of APX001 as measured by volume of distribution (Vd).

    Time frame: 21 days

  5. Pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of APX001 as measured by elimination rate constant (Kel).

    Time frame: 21 days

  6. Pharmacokinetics of single and multiple dose of APX001 as measured by accumulation ratio.

    Time frame: 21 days
