Phase 1 Study Into Pharmacokinetics and Food Effect of Vapendavir in Healthy Participants and Participants With COPD

Vapendavir (VPV) is potent virostatic antiviral agent active against all known enterovirus species. VPV binds to the viral capsid, thereby inhibiting viral attachment to the target cell and, independently, preventing release of viral RNA (ribonucleic acid) into the cell. Alt VPV-101 is meant to investigate vapendavir in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who develop a rhinoviral infection. This is a Phase 1, open-label, unblinded study. The primary objective of this study is to characterize single and multiple dose (plus a loading dose) plasma PK profiles of VPV in healthy participants (Group A) and participants with COPD (Group B). Group A is an open-label, 2-sequence, and up to a 3-period, cross-over study to assess the single-dose PK parameters and safety of VPV. Healthy participants may opt to participate in only the first 2 periods, all 3 periods or BID dosing, but it is preferred that participants complete all 3 periods. Group B is an open-label, multi-dose investigation of VPV PK parameters and safety in participants with COPD. Post-dose, follow up will continue for a minimum of 14 days and a maximum of 30 days, depending on which Group the participant is in and which periods said participant completes. There is a target for up to 24 adult participants comprised of healthy participants and participants with COPD.
