• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a Phase 1, single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo- and positive controlled, double-dummy, parallel-group, repeated-dose study with a nested cross-over comparison between moxifloxacin and placebo to evaluate the effect of MD1003 on cardiac repolarization in healthy adult subjects.

The planned enrollment is approximately 64 subjects randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to 2main groups. Subjects in Group B will be further randomized to Subgroups B1 and B2 in a ratio of 1:1.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject voluntarily agrees to participate in this study and signs an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)-approved informed consent form prior to performing any of the Screening Visit procedures.

2. Males and females between 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive, at the Screening Visit.

3. Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be planning to become pregnant, must not be breastfeeding, and must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and negative urine pregnancy test on Day-2.

4. Sexually active female subjects of childbearing potential (i.e. women who are not post-menopausal [12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea without an alternative medical cause and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for the laboratory involved] or who have not had a documented hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation) and all male subjects (who have not been surgically sterilized by documented vasectomy) must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception during the study and for 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug. Please refer to Section 5.4.4 for acceptable methods of contraception.

5. Continuous non-smoker who has not used nicotine-containing products for at least 3 months prior to the screening.

6. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m2, inclusive, at the Screening Visit.

7. Healthy adult subjects with suitable veins for cannulation.

9. Supine vital signs should be within the normal range at Screening and Day -2:

1. oral body temperature between 35.0°C - 37.5°C;

2. systolic BP, 90 - 140 mm Hg;

3. diastolic BP, 40 - 90 mm Hg;

4. pulse rate, 40 - 100 bpm.

10. Subjects should have serum potassium, calcium, and magnesium levels within the normal range at Screening and at admission on Day -2 (morning in fasted condition).

11. Subjects should fulfil the following ECG parameters criteria at Screening and Day -2:

1. Normal sinus rhythm (HR between 40 beats per minute [bpm] and 100 bpm, inclusive);

2. Fridericia QTc interval corrected (QTcF)≤ 450 msec;

3. QRS interval ≤110 msec; and confirmed by manual over-read if > 110 msec;

4. PR interval ≤220 msec.

Exclusion criteria:

1. Subject has clinically significant history or evidence of cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological, immunological or psychiatric disorder(s) as determined by the Principal Investigator or designee.

2. Subject has any disorder that would interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs.

3. Subject has any concurrent disease or condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for participation in the clinical study.

4. History or presence of:

1. risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (e.g., heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or family history of Long QT Syndrome);

2. sick sinus syndrome, Mobitz 2second, or third-degree atrioventricular block, myocardial infarction, pulmonary congestion, cardiac arrhythmia, prolonged QT interval QTc>450 male/470 female), or conduction abnormalities;

3. repeated or frequent syncope or vasovagal episodes;

4. hypertension, angina, bradycardia, or severe peripheral arterial circulatory disorders.

5. Subjects with serum creatinine clearance below 90 mL/min.

6. Subject has history of alcohol and/or illicit drug abuse within 2 years prior to the first dose of study drug.

7. Subject has positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody or human immunodeficiency virus antibody at the screening visit.

8. Subject has positive urine drug (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines, barbiturates, opiates, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids), alcohol or cotinine test at the Screening Visit or Day -2. Consumption of alcohol and alcohol-containing foods, medications or beverages 48 hours prior to the screening visit.

9. Female subjects are breastfeeding or female subjects with a positive serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit or positive urine pregnancy test on Day -2.

10. Has had surgery or any medical condition which may affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or elimination of the study drugs within 6 months prior to the first dose, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator.

11. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

12. Subject has donated > 500 mL blood or blood products within 2 months (56 days) prior to admission.

13. Subject is unwilling to avoid consumption of coffee and caffeine containing beverages from 48 hours prior to admission until discharge from the clinical site.

14. Use of any prescription or over-the-counter medication including antacids, herbal remedies, or vitamin or nutritional supplements (especially those containing biotin, magnesium, aluminum, iron, or zinc), excluding contraceptive pill, and intermittent use of paracetamol, ibuprofen, or acetylic salicylic acid within 14 days prior to Screening and throughout the study, unless approved by both the Investigator and the Sponsor.

15. Subject has used an investigational drug, or device within 3 months or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer) prior to Screening.

16. Participation in a previous clinical trial where subject received MD1003.

17. Subject has been on a diet incompatible with the on study diet (including an extreme diet which resulted in a significant weight change for whatever reason), in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, within the 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug, and throughout the study.

18. Subject is unwilling to abstain from vigorous exercise from 48 hours prior to admission until the End of Study Visit.

19. Subject has a history of hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of the excipients (incl. lactose), or to medicinal products with similar chemical structures.

20. Subject is unlikely to comply with the protocol requirements, instructions and study related restrictions; e.g., uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits and improbability of completing the clinical study.

21. Vulnerable subjects defined as individuals whose willingness to volunteer in a clinical study may be unduly influenced by the expectation, whether justified or not, of benefits associated with participation, or of a retaliatory response from senior members of a hierarchy in case of refusal to participate (e.g., persons in detention, minors and those incapable of giving consent).
