The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Cannabidiol Inhalation Powder, is a dry powder product comprising Cannabidiol and the inhalation excipients fumaryl diketopiperazine and 1,2 distearoyl sn glycero-3-phosphocholine, filled into cartridges for administration by oral inhalation through the DreamboatTM inhaler
The RLS103 is a drug/device combination consisting of single-use cartridges filled with a dry powder for inhalation and a breath-powered inhaler. When the participant inhales through the device, the powder is aerosolized and delivered to the lungs.

The study consists of total 3 cohorts. A total of 30 participants will be sequentially assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts (10 participants per cohort). Each cohort have 4 treatment periods with a washout period of 7 days between each treatment within a cohort. The Cohorts will be conducted one after the other, starting with cohort 1. A cohort may overlap with treatment periods with smaller doses in a previous cohort

Three different formulations (20% CBD, 28% CBD and 35% CBD). One formulation will be tested in each cohort. Thus participants in Cohort 1 will receive the 20% formulation in escalating amounts; and participants in Cohorts 2 and 3 will receive the 28% and 35% formulations, respectively.



Cohort 1 includes:
- Treatment period 1: 2 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 2: 3 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 3: 4 mg. single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 4: 8 mg, 2 cartridges, 1 immediately after the other, of orally inhaled RLS103
For Cohort 1 only, a sentinel dosing approach will be taken in each Treatment Period so that 4 participants will be dosed initially and, if there are no safety concerns in the 48 hours post dose, the remaining 6 participants will then be dosed.

Cohort 2 includes:
- Treatment period 1: 2 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 2: 4.2 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 3: 5.6 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 4: 11.2 mg, 2 cartridges, 1 immediately after the other, of orally inhaled RLS103

Cohort 3 includes:
- Treatment period 1: 2 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 2: 4.2 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 3: 5.6 mg, single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103
- Treatment period 4: 11.2 mg, 2 cartridges, 1 immediately after the other, of orally inhaled RLS103

In treatment periods 1, 2, and 3 in each Cohort, participants will receive a single cartridge of orally inhaled RLS103 and in treatment period 4 in each cohort, participants will receive 2 cartridges, 1 immediately after the other, of orally inhaled RLS103.

Each cartridge will be weighed before and after inhalation to quantify the amount of powder inhaled by each participant in each treatment in each cohort.

Duration for each participant is up to 38 days plus or minus 2 days at End Of Study.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 328273 0
To assess the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of RLS103 in healthy adult volunteers
To be assessed by monitoring
- incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and treatment-related TEAEs as assessed through Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0
- Clinical laboratory results (includes hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis)
- Vital signs (Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse rate, and body temperature)
- Physical examination (includes general appearance, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, dentition, thyroid, chest (heart, lungs), abdomen, skin, neurological, extremities, back, neck, musculoskeletal, and lymph nodes)
- Spirometry measurement (assessed by Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC ratio.
Timepoint [1] 328273 0
From Baseline to Day 1, Day 7, Day 8, Day 14, Day 15, Day 21, Day 22 post-first dose
Secondary outcome [1] 398349 0
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 3 different formulations of RLS103 including dose linearity across and between formulations
Pharmacokinetics parameter includes:
- Tmax (time to maximum concentration)
- Cmax (maximum concentration)
- AUC0-t (area under the time concentration curve from time zero to time t)
- AUC0-inf (AUC from time zero to infinity)
- Kel (elimination rate constant)
- t½ (elimination half-life)
- CL/F (apparent total clearance)
- Vz/F (apparent volume of distribution)

Blood sample collected for pharmacokinetic assessment
Timepoint [1] 398349 0
Blood samples for PK assessment will be collected at pre-dose and 2, 4 and 6 minutes (±1 minute) post dose, at 10, 15, 30, and 45 minutes (±5 minutes) post dose, and at 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours (±15 minutes) post dose on Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22 post-first dose

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Healthy male or female volunteers, between 18 and 55 years of age, inclusive at the time of informed consent.
2. In good health as determined by past medical history, physical examination, vital signs, ECG, and clinical laboratory tests at Screening. Continued participation in each subsequent treatment period will be at the discretion of Investigator upon review of ongoing safety and compliance assessments.
3. BMI between 18 and 32 kg/m2 (inclusive) with a body weight greater than or equal to 50 kg.
4. Non-smoker (cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, or nicotine containing products in the 6 months prior to Screening) as confirmed by negative cotinine results (less than 10 ng/mL) at Screening and must be willing to abstain from smoking for the duration of the study.
