Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) and Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Phase trial. Participants will be randomised to either orally receive with PLN-74809 or placebo.

Active treatment will be PLN-74809

Experimental SAD dosing: PLN-74809 or placebo dosed orally, administered once daily for a single dose planned in 4 cohorts of 10 healthy participants per cohort for SAD, assessing a starting dose of 120mg and and increasing the dose for up to three (3x) additional cohorts. The specific dose to be administered to each additional cohort will be determined by the review of the previous cohorts safety and PK data by the study’s Safety Review Committee.

Experimental MAD dosing: PLN-74809 or placebo dosed orally, administered once daily for seven days planned in 4 cohorts of 10 healthy participants per cohort for MAD, assessing a starting dose of 60mg and and increasing the dose for up to three (3x) additional cohorts. The specific dose to be administered to each additional cohort will be determined by the review of the previous cohorts safety and PK data by the study’s Safety Review Committee.

Protocol excludes subjects who have participated in any other investigational drug trial within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is long) of dosing in present study. Therefore while it is not specifically excluded and it may be possible, it is not the sponsor’s preference to have a subject who participated in the SAD to rescreen/enroll into the MAD dosing cohort.

Intervention is administered directly by staff at Phase 1 unit. Laboratory tests will also be monitored to assess adherence retrospectively.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Computer generated randomisation schedules will be prepared by a statistician prior to the start of the study. Subjects within a given dose level cohort will be randomised to receive PLN-74809 or Placebo in a ratio of 4 to 1 respectively.

Subjects will then be allocated a corresponding pre-prepared dosing vehicle labelled with the same randomisation number. Dosing vehicles containing active and placebo will be indistinguishable apart from the randomisation number on the label
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomization scheme and codes will be generated by an unblinded Statistician and provided to the site prior to study commencement.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
