Description of intervention(s) / exposure

Single and multiple-ascending doses of ZE46-0134 will be administered orally to healthy participants.

Part A (SAD) single-ascending dose: Up to 8 planned dose levels of ZE46-0134, 8 participants each, randomised (ZE46-0134: placebo) as follows:

SAD Cohort 1: 2 mg (fasted)
SAD Cohort 2: 10 mg (fasted)
SAD Cohort 3: 50 mg (fasted)
SAD Cohort 4: 10 mg (fed)
SAD Cohort 5: 100 mg (fasted)
SAD Cohort 6: 50 mg (fasted)
SAD Cohort 7 (optional): 200 mg (fasted)
SAD Cohort 8: 200 mg total dose - two doses of 100 mg each, 12 hours (± 5 minutes) apart between doses

The potential effect of CYP3A4 inhibition will be evaluated in SAD Cohort 6 with participants randomised to receive a single dose of ZE46-0134 or placebo under fasted conditions, in conjunction with itraconazole 100 mg tablet (taken as 200 mg oral dose twice daily on Day -4 and once daily on Days -3 to 8).

For fasted administration (SAD Cohorts 1 to 7 and first dose of SAD Cohort 8): participants will be administered ZE46-0134 or placebo on an empty stomach (at least 10 hours after the last meal). No food will be allowed for at least 4 hours after study drug administration.

For fasted administration (second dose of SAD Cohort 8): participants will be administered ZE46-0134 or placebo at least 2 hours after the last meal. No food will be allowed for at least 2 hours after study drug administration. Water will not be restricted.

For ZE46-0134 administration under fed conditions, following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, participants will be served a high fat/high calorie breakfast in the clinic approximately 30 minutes before taking their dose of study medication.
A standard high fat, high calorie meal includes:
1. Two eggs fried in butter
2. Two rashers of bacon
3. Two slices of toast with 16 g butter per slice
4. 125 g of hash browns
5. 240 mL of full cream milk
Participants must consume the meal within 20 minutes. The study drug will be administered following consumption of the meal and within 30 minutes after the start of consumption of the meal.

Part B (MAD) multiple-ascending dose: Up to 3 planned dose levels of ZE46-0134, 8 participants each, randomised (ZE46-0134: placebo) as follows:

MAD Cohort 1: 50 mg Day 1, followed by 10 mg Day 2 to 7
MAD Cohort 2: 50 mg Day 1, followed by 10 mg Day 2 to 7 (rabeprazole administration is optional and will be conducted at the ZE46-0134 dose level of preceding cohort)
MAD Cohort 3: 100 mg Day 1, followed by single daily dose of 20 mg from Day 2 to 7

Rabeprazole oral tablets, a protein pump inhibitor (PPI) may be co-administered in Part B of the study to investigate its impact on the absorption of the ZE46-0134.

Participants will only be able to enrol in one dose cohort.

The decision to escalate between dose levels will be based upon review of the safety data and available PK data of each cohort by the Safety Review Committee (SRC).

Part A Cohort 1 to 5, 7 and 8: For each participant, the confinement period will commence on Day -1, with dosing on Day 1 and discharge on Day 4. Participants will return to the clinic for their end of study (EoS) visit on Day 8 (±1 day).

Part A Cohort 6: Participants will visit the clinic on Day -4 to commence itraconazole administration. All participants will return to the clinic on Day -1 and commence a confinement period until Day 4, with dosing (ZE46-0134 or placebo) on Day 1. Participants will return to the clinic on Day 8 for a follow-up visit and on Day 11 (±1 day) for their EoS visit.

Part B: For each participant, the confinement period will commence on Day -1, with dosing commencing on Day 1 and continuing to Day 7 and discharge on Day 10. Participants will return to the clinic for an outpatient follow-up visit on Day 14 (±1 day) and for their EoS visit on Day 21 (± 2 days).

Adherence to Intervention will be managed via recording in appropriate drug accountability records.

Study design

Statistical methods / analysis

This study is the First in Human (FIH) study with ZE46-0134 and as such no formal sample size calculation was performed. The chosen sample size chosen is deemed adequate to evaluate all study endpoints.

The Full Analysis Set (FAS) will include all randomised participants and will be based on the
randomised treatment regardless of which treatment the participants actually received.

The Safety Analysis Set (SS) will include all participants who receive at least 1 dose of study
drug (ZE46-0134 placebo or rabeprazole). Participants will be analysed according to treatments received.

The PK Analysis Set (PKS) will include all participants in the Safety Analysis Set who have sufficient data to reliably derive at least one PK parameter using non-compartmental analysis and have no other events, or protocol violations that would adversely affect results.

The Pharmacodynamic (PD) Analysis Set will include all participants in the Safety Analysis Set who at least one post dose PD parameter.

Brief summary

This is a single-centre, randomised, double blind, single and multiple ascending dose study to assess the safety of ZE46-0134, and how this drug acts in the body in healthy volunteers. ZE46-0134 may be indicated for use in patients with leukaemia, but a trial of the drug in healthy volunteers is needed before trials in cancer patients can proceed.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 to 55 years and are in good general health without a clinically significant medical history. People who have been diagnosed with cancer will not be eligible for this study.

Study details
All healthy volunteer participants who choose to enrol in this study will be assigned by chance to receive either a single or double dose of ZE46-0134 or placebo. All participants will have their vital signs checked (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, etc), and will provide blood and urine samples for testing. If the drug appears safe, additional participants will be assigned by chance to receive a larger single dose of ZE46-0134 or placebo, followed by blood and urine testing. This will continue until a maximum safe dose is determined.

It is hoped this research will determine the maximum dose of ZE46-0134 that can be administered safely without causing severe reactions. Once the dose of ZE46-0134 has been determined in healthy volunteers, a trial investigating the efficacy of ZE46-0134 as a treatment for patients with leukaemia may proceed.
