Clinical Trial Summary

This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of IW-3300. The study drug will be administered rectally as a low-volume (20 mL) enema. Study participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive a single dose of IW-3300 or placebo. Up to 5 different doses of IW-3300 will be studied. Safety reviews will be conducted before proceeding to each higher dose.

Description:

This is a Phase 1, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose study assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IW 3300 administered rectally as a low-volume enema in healthy adult volunteers. This first-in-human study will assess participants for safety, tolerability, and PK. The study includes up to 6 treatments: placebo and up to 5 dose levels of IW-3300 which will be determined after safety reviews of previous cohorts. This study will enroll a maximum of 40 participants (up to 5 cohorts of 8 participants each). The 8 participants within each cohort will be randomized in a double-blind manner to receive a single dose of IW-3300 (6 participants) or placebo (2 participants), administered rectally as a low-volume [20 mL] enema. Each cohort will progress through a Screening Period, Clinic Period, and Follow-up Period. Treatment duration will be 1 day. Participants will remain in the Phase 1 unit for approximately 24 hours after dosing and will be contacted by phone for follow-up approximately 2 weeks after dosing. Total participation will be 22 to 45 days, including the Screening, Clinic, and Follow-up Periods.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE was considered a treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) if the AE started after initial study drug administration and within 1 day of the last dose of study drug.	From first dose of study drug through 24 hours post-Day 1 dose
Primary	Number of Participants With Serious TEAEs	A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or other situations such as important medical events that may not be immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. An SAE was considered a treatment-emergent SAE (serious TEAE) if the SAE started after initial study drug administration and within 1 day of the last dose of study drug.	From first dose of study drug through 24 hours post-Day 1 dose
