Clinical Trial Summary

First-in-human, phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single center study evaluating single and multiple ascending intravenous doses of FR104 in healthy subjects.

Description:

This study is a first-in-human, phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single center study evaluating single and multiple ascending intravenous doses of FR104 in healthy subjects.

64 healthy male and female subjects are selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, i.e., 50 subjects in Part 1 (SAD: 2 cohorts of 22 [Cohort A], 28 [Cohort B], respectively) and 14 subjects in Part 2 (MAD). The total duration of the study is 10 months.

All FR104 doses are administered intravenously by a slow infusion of at least 30 minutes. A staggered approach is observed within all dose levels. An interval of at least 14 days (last to first administration) is observed between all dose levels. Individual subjects on a same day of dosing are dosed at least 60 minutes apart.

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects meeting all of the following criteria are eligible to participate in this study:

1. Male or female, aged 18 to 60 years, extremes includes;

2. In good health condition [medically stable] as determined on the basis of medical history, vital signs, clinical laboratory testing, and general physical examination performed at screening; Note: a retest can be done in case of an out of range clinical laboratory test value that will determine a subject's eligibility. This retest is preferably to be done at an unscheduled visit. The result of the retest are considered for subject eligibility. If the retest is outside normal reference ranges, the subject are eligible for inclusion only if the investigator judges the abnormalities to be not clinically significant.

3. Electrocardiogram (ECG) within normal range, or showing no clinically relevant deviations, as judged by the investigator; Note: a retest can be done in case of an out of range ECG value that can determine a subject's eligibility.

8. Subjects with a recent infection of EBV diagnosed by a positive IgM VCA;

9. A positive hepatitis panel (including hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] and anti-hepatitis C virus [HCV] antibodies [Abs]) or positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody screens;

10. The subject has a supine systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 or >160 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <50 or >90 mmHg, or pulse rate higher than 100 bpm, either at screening (blood pressure measurements taken after subject has been resting in a supine position for a minimum of 5 minutes); Note: a retest can be done in case of an out of range vital signs value that will determine a subject's eligibility. The result of the retest are considered for subject eligibility.

11. The subject is pregnant or breastfeeding;

12. The subject has received a vaccine within 60 days prior to study drug administration;

13. The subject has received any systemic immunosuppressant agent within 6 months prior to study drug administration;

14. The subject has received any antibody or biologic medicinal product within 6 months prior to study drug administration;

15. The subject has received any systemic steroid within 2 months prior to study drug administration;

16. Use of a prohibited therapy within 14 days prior to study drug administration;

17. Receipt of any investigational drug within 30 days or ten half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the initial study drug administration;

18. The subject is participating in another clinical trial or has participated in another dose group of the current trial;

19. Had a significant blood loss (including blood donation [>500 mL]) or having had a transfusion of any blood product within the 60 days or donated plasma within 7 days prior to the initial study drug administration;

20. A condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the well-being of the subject or course of the study, or prevent the subject from meeting or performing any study requirements.

21. Intent to visit regions where tuberculosis and mycosis are endemic during the period of 3 months after dosing (4 months after dosing for subjects in Cohort C) , i.e., deserts areas, Eastern Europe, Central and South America, Africa except Egypt, Russia, Asia, Indonesia.
