Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 1 study, which will assess the safety, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally-administered AMXT 1501 dicaprate in normal healthy male volunteers.

The study is comprised of a total of 8 cohorts; 4 single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts, 1 Food Effect (FE) Crossover cohort, and 3 multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts. Tablets will be administered after an overnight fast (10 hours) with at least 250 mL water. No food will be administered (exception for "fed" subjects, see below) for one hour thereafter.

Each cohort will have a total 6 subjects: SAD and MAD (2 subjects receiving placebo and 4 subjects receiving active AMXT 1501 dicaprate); and FE crossover (6 subjects receiving active AMXT 1501 dicaprate).

Description:

The Phase 1 study, which will assess the safety, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally-administered AMXT 1501 dicaprate in normal healthy male volunteers.

The study is comprised of a total of 8 cohorts; 4 single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts, 1 Food Effect (FE) Crossover cohort, and 3 multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts. Tablets will be administered after an overnight fast (10 hours) with at least 250 mL water. No food will be administered (exception for "fed" subjects, see below) for one hour thereafter.

Each cohort will have a total 6 subjects: SAD and MAD (2 subjects receiving placebo and 4 subjects receiving active AMXT 1501 dicaprate); and FE crossover (6 subjects receiving active AMXT 1501 dicaprate).

SAD cohorts are defined as follows:

• Cohort 1: One placebo and one AMXT 1501 dicaprate subject will be treated as sentinel subjects receiving one tablet each of their assigned treatment. Assuming no intolerance is noted after at least 3 days, the remaining cohort subjects (placebo, 1 subject and AMXT 1501 dicaprate, 3 subjects) will be treated.

• Cohort 2: 2 subjects 2 placebo each and 4 subjects 2 AMXT 1501 dicaprate tablets each

• Cohort 3: 2 subjects 4 placebos each and 4 subjects 4 AMXT 1501 dicaprate tablets each

• Cohort 4: 2 subjects 8 placebos each and 4 subjects 8 AMXT 1501 dicaprate tablets each

FE Crossover:

• Cohort 5: 6 new subjects will be randomized to a fed (n=3 standard meal) or fasted (n=3) group and administered one dose lower of the maximum tolerated AMXT 1501 dose in the previous SAD cohorts. First dose and accompanying assessments will be referred to as Period 1. Subjects will then crossover to the opposite diet plan (fed or fasted) and receive a second administration of study treatment at the same dose level. The second dose and assessments are referred to as Period 2. There will be a 7-day washout between doses administered in Periods 1 and 2.

MAD cohorts will receive dosing once daily for 14 consecutive days. Dosing will be contingent on adequate tolerance in Cohorts 1-5.

• Cohort 6: 2 subjects 2 placebos each; 4 subjects 2 AMXT 1501 dicaprate tablets each

• Cohort 7: 2 subjects 4 placebos each; 4 subjects 4 AMXT 1501 dicaprate tablets each

• Cohort 8: 2 subjects 8 placebos each; 4 subjects 8 AMXT 1501 dicaprate tablets each

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult males aged 18 to 55 years inclusive and between 18 to 30 kg/m2 body mass index (BMI).

2. Subjects who are healthy as determined by prestudy medical history, physical examination, and 12 Lead ECG.

3. Subjects whose clinical laboratory test results are not clinically relevant and are acceptable to the Investigator.

4. Subjects who are negative for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) I and II tests at screening.

5. Subjects who are negative for drugs of abuse and alcohol tests at screening and admission.

6. Subjects who are non-smokers for at least 1 month preceding screening.

7. Subjects who are able and willing to give written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of any important clinically significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the subject's ability to participate in the study.

2. History or presence of gastrointestinal, hepatic or renal disease or any other condition known to interfere with absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs.

3. Any clinically important illness, medical/surgical procedure, or trauma within 4 weeks of the first administration of the study drug.

4. Subjects who have a history of relevant drug hypersensitivity to AMXT 1501.

5. Subjects who have a history of hearing loss.

6. Subjects who consume more than 21 units of alcohol a week. (unit = 1 glass of wine [125 mL] = 1 measure of spirits = ½ pint of beer)

7. Subjects who have a significant infection or known inflammatory process within 2 weeks of dosing or has febrile illness within 7 days of dosing.

8. Subjects who have acute gastrointestinal symptoms at the time of screening or admission (e.g. nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn).

9. Subjects who have an acute infection such as influenza at the time of screening or admission.

10. Subjects who do not agree to use medically acceptable methods of contraception during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug

11. Subjects who use any medication including antacids, analgesics (with the exception of occasional use of up to 3 g of acetaminophen a day), herbal remedies (e.g., St. John's Wort), or vitamins and minerals from 2 weeks (for prescribed) or 1 week (for non-prescribed) prior to the first administration of study drug or longer if the medication has a long half-life. Occasional use of paracetamol/acetaminophen is allowed for minor pains and headache.

12. Subjects currently receiving medications or herbal supplements known to be potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 and potent inducers of CYP3A4 (from 2 weeks prior to the first administration of study drug). All subjects must avoid concomitant use of any medications, herbal supplements and/or ingestion of foods with known inducer/inhibitory effects on CYP3A4.

13. Any intake of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, or other products containing grapefruit within 14 days of the first administration of study drug.

14. Subjects who have used any investigational drug in any clinical trial within 60 days of the screening visit.

15. Subjects who are vegans or have medical dietary restrictions.

16. Subjects who cannot communicate reliably with the Investigator.

17. Subjects who are unlikely to co-operate with the requirements of the study.
