Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Part 1: Single Ascending Dose
Participants will be randomised to receive a single dose of PTG-200 or placebo capsule. Three cohorts of eligible participants are planned:
Cohort 1: 150 mg PTG-200 or placebo
Cohort 2: 300 mg PTG-200 or placebo
Cohort 3: 900 mg PTG-200 or placebo. Participants, in Cohort 3 only, will return to the clinic after at least 7 days and will be administered a second single dose of 900 mg PTG-200 immediately following the consumption of a standard high fat meal.
Part 2: Multiple Ascending Dose
Participants will be randomised to receive oral administration of PTG-200 or placebo capsule daily for 14 days. Participants are not required to fast for dosing purposes. Four cohorts of eligible participants are planned:
Cohort 4: 150 mg PTG-200 or placebo once daily
Cohort 5a: 300 mg PTG-200 or placebo once daily
Cohort 5b: 150 mg PTG-200 or placebo twice daily
Cohort 6: 900 mg PTG-200 or placebo once daily; or 450 mg PTG-200 or placebo twice daily. Cohorts 5a and 5b will be conducted in parallel and the dose of Cohort 6 will be based on their results.

Part 3: Formulation Cross-Over
Part 3 will be a cross over of 2 formulations (tablet and capsule) consisting of the same active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Part 3 will evaluate the bioavailability of the capsule formulation compared to the tablet formulation. Approximately 10 participants will be enrolled into a single dose cross-over cohort. Participants will be randomized to receive either PTG-200 300 mg capsule formulation or PTG-200 300 mg tablet formulation (5 participants to receive each). Participants will remain in the clinic until Day 3. A minimum of 7 days after the first dose, they will return for the second dosing period and receive a single dose of the alternate formulation of PTG-200, i.e., participants who received the capsule formulation for the first dose will then receive the tablet formulation, and vice versa.
The duration of Part 3 is approximately 14 days. Part 3 is not double-blind and does not include placebo.

Secondary outcome [1] 338946 0
To evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of PTG-200 after single and multiple ascending oral dose administration in normal healthy participants.

Plasma PTG-200 non-compartmental analysis (NCA) PK parameters time of the maximum plasma drug concentration (Tmax), maximum observed drug plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the curve (AUC) from time zero to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUC0-t) apparent terminal elimination (disposition) rate constant (Kel), AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0 inf), apparent elimination (disposition) half-life (t1/2), apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent volume of distribution at the terminal phase (Vz/F) will be estimated (where data are sufficient for parameter determination). In addition, minimum concentration (Cmin), AUC over the dosing interval (AUCtau), apparent clearance at steady-state (CL/Fss), average steady-state concentration (Cssave) and accumulation index (AI) will be calculated for Part 2 (MAD).

Faecal PTG-200 NCA PK parameters amount recovered and %Dose recovered will be estimated.

Individual PTG-200 concentration data will be listed and summarised by treatment group with descriptive statistics (sample size [N], arithmetic mean, standard deviation [SD], median, minimum, maximum and geometric mean). Individual and mean PTG-200 concentration-time profiles for each treatment group will also be presented graphically.
Timepoint [1] 338946 0

Pre-dose, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 32 hours, and 48 hours post dose.
Secondary outcome [2] 338952 0
To evaluate the PK of PTG-200 in stool and urine samples of participants after multiple ascending oral dose administration.

PK of PTG-200 is measured in plasma, stool, and urine by using LC Mass Spectrometry method.

PK parameters will be summarized by cohort using descriptive statistics (arithmetic means, SD, coefficients of variation [CV], sample size [N] minimum, maximum, median and geometric mean).
No value for kel, t1/2, AUC0-inf, CL/F, Vz/F, as appropriate, will be reported for cases that do not exhibit a terminal log-linear phase in the concentration versus time profile or do not contain sufficient data during this phase for parameter estimation.
Additional analyses will be performed as deemed necessary upon review of the data.

These are not composite endpoints.
Timepoint [2] 338952 0
PK in stool and urine will be assessed at the end of the study. Approximately within two to four weeks after the end of the study.

Part 2: Urine PK Day 10 to Day 11 post dose, pooled at 6 hour intervals for 24 hours.
Faeces PK Day 11 to Day 12, pooled over 24 hours.
Secondary outcome [3] 338953 0

Relative Bioavailability of Capsule and Tablet Formulations
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be performed on the ln-transformed AUC0-t, AUC0-inf, and Cmax (tablet vs capsule). The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the ratio of the geometric means of the tablet formulation data compared to the capsule formulation data will be obtained, based on the least-squares means (LSM) from the ANOVA of the ln-transformed parameters. The ratios and confidence intervals will be expressed as a percentage relative to the capsule formulation.

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
No
No/undecided IPD sharing reason/comment
The data sharing statement was marked NO’ due to the reason that it’s a healthy volunteer study and the individual participant results are not useful to the participants or to others outside of the sponsor.
