Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral doses of TBA‐354 when administered to healthy adult subjects.

Description:

This is a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, single ascending dose study conducted at one study center in the United States. Six (6) cohorts of 8 subjects each (6 active and 2 placebo), with one cohort crossing over to assess food effect, are planned for evaluation. Subjects will participate in only one cohort.

Safety will be assessed throughout the study; serial ECGs and serial blood samples will be collected for the safety and PK assessment of TBA‐354.

Dose escalation to the next cohort (i.e., dose level) will not take place until the Sponsor, in conjunction with the Principal Investigator, has determined that adequate safety, tolerability and PK from the previous cohort has been demonstrated to permit proceeding to the next cohort. Upon review of cohort data, the Sponsor, in conjunction with the Principal Investigator, may decide to:

1. Escalate dose as planned.

2. Evaluate an intermediate dose level prior to proceeding to the next planned dose level if concerns arise from signs and symptoms that do not warrant ceasing escalation as described above.

3. Repeat a given dose level in a new cohort of subjects.

4. Halt the study.

Blinded interim PK analyses will be performed for the dose escalation decisions, to select the intermediate dose for the food effect cohort, and to reconsider the sampling time points as the study progresses.

Subjects will be housed in the Celerion clinic from at least 24 hours prior (from Day ‐2), until 48 hours after dosing. Subjects will return for subsequent follow up safety and PK assessments on Days 4 to 7 and will be contacted via a phone call for follow‐up questioning about adverse events 7 days later (Study Day 14). One cohort will return after a washout of at least 14 days or five half‐lives (whichever is longer) of their fasting dose to receive the same intermediate dose (TBD mg) under fed conditions.

1. use a condom with spermicide while engaging in sexual activity or be sexually abstinent

2. not donate sperm during this time.

1. History or presence of significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurological, or psychiatric disease.

2. History of any illness that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, might confound the results of the study or poses an additional risk to the subject by their participation in the study.

3. Surgery within the past 90 days prior to dosing as determined by the Principal Investigator to be clinically relevant.

4. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 2 years.

5. Hypersensitive or idiosyncratic reactions to compounds related to TBA-354 (e.g., nitroimidazoles such as metronidazole, etc.).

6. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating.

7. Positive results for the urine drug/alcohol screen at screening or check-in.

8. Positive urine cotinine at screening.

9. Positive results at screening for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), or Hepatitis C antibodies (HCV).

10. Seated blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 140/90 mmHg at screening.

11. Heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 99 bpm at screening.

12. Any clinically significant ECG abnormality at Screening (as deemed by the Principal Investigator and the Sponsor's Medical Monitor).

NOTE: The following can be considered not clinically significant without consulting Sponsor's Medical Monitor:

i. Mild first degree A-V block (P-R interval <0.23 sec)

ii. Right or left axis deviation

iii. Incomplete right bundle branch block

iv. Isolated left anterior fascicular block (left anterior hemiblock) in younger athletic subjects

13. QTcF interval >450 msec for males or >470 msec for females (the average value for the replicate ECG at screening and Check-In), or history of prolonged QT syndrome.

14. Family history of Long-QT Syndrome or sudden death without a preceding diagnosis of a condition that could be causative of sudden death (such as known coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or terminal cancer).
