Brief summary
This first in human (FIH) Phase 1 study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety, tolerability and PK, including the effect on PK of fed vs. fasting, of single oral ascending doses of BioE-1115 in healthy adult subjects followed by the safety, tolerability, PK and PD effects assessed as FS-DNL and RMR of multiple oral doses of BioE-1115 in healthy adult subjects. A total of up to approximately 121 subjects from both parts is expected to be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be recruited to participate in either a SAD cohort or MAD cohort but not both. Safety data for each cohort will be reviewed by a Safety Review Committee. The study will be conducted in 2 parts of 5 SAD and 4 MAD dose cohorts: Part A (SAD): Part A of the study will include a double-blind assessment of the safety, tolerability and PK, including the effect on PK of fed vs. fasting, of SAD of BioE-1115. Each SAD cohort will consist of 8 subjects, including 2 receiving placebo and 6 receiving BioE-1115, in fasting state. One of the cohorts may be called back to be redosed in a fed state. Part B (MAD): Part B of the study will include a double-blind assessment of the safety, tolerability, PK and PD assessed as FS-DNL and RMR of MAD of BioE-1115/placebo. Each MAD cohort consists of 15 subjects, including 3 receiving placebo and 12 receiving BioE-1115. MAD subjects will be dosed in a fasted state

The study is conducted in two parts a single ascending dose (SAD) where subjects receive only one dose of BioE-1115, and a multiple ascending dose (MAD) where subjects receive multiple daily dose of BioE-1115 for up to 7 days. Mode of administration of BioE-1115: Oral Capsules A total of approximately up to 121 subjects from both parts are expected to be enrolled in this study. Each subject will be allowed to participate in either the SAD cohort or MAD cohort, but not both. The SAD and MAD studies of BioE-1115 vs. placebo will be conducted in 2 parts of 5 × SAD and 4 × MAD dose cohorts. Part A (SAD): o Each cohort will consist of 8 subjects (2 receiving placebo and 6 receiving BioE-1115, in fasting state). One cohort may be called back to be redosed in a fed state after a washout period. The dose of BioE-1115 administered in each cohort and/or the ascending schedule between cohorts of Part A (SAD): The study drug will be administered on Day 1. 5 dose levels in the range of 50 to 1000 mg/day are planned to be administered to the 5 cohorts. The starting dose will be 50 mg and subsequent higher dose levels will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) based on safety data and blinded PK data, evaluated up to and including Day 7, from the previous cohort(s). It is estimated that the dose levels will be approximately 50mg/day, 150mg/day, 450mg/day, 750mg/day and 1000mg/day. All study doses will be administered an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. In the fed cohort, the IMP will be administered within 30 minutes after the start of a standardized meal. Part B (MAD): o Each MAD cohort will consist of 15 subjects, (3 receiving placebo and 12 receiving BioE-1115) in a fasted state. The dose of BioE-1115 administered in each cohort and/or the ascending schedule between cohorts of Part B (MAD): The study drug will be administered daily, from Day 1 to Day 7 inclusive. 4 dose levels will be evaluated in Part B (MAD) and it is expected that the starting dose will be approximately 150mg/day. However, the starting dose will be determined by the SRC, following review of safety and PK data up to, and including SAD cohorts 1-3. Subsequent higher dose levels and frequency of dosing (once daily or twice daily) will be decided by the SRC based on safety and PK data, up to and including Day 14, evaluated from the previous cohort(s). Intermediate dose levels, a revised dosing regimen and/or an additional dose group may be considered if recommended by the SRC. The study drug will be administered after fasting period of at least 10 hours. After an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, subjects will be administered investigational drug (BioE-1115/placebo) with 240 mL (8 fluid ounces) of water. No food will be allowed for at least 4 hours post-dose. Water will be allowed as desired except for 1 hour before and after drug administration. Subjects will receive standardized meals scheduled at the same time in each period of the study. Compliance with the fast will be ensured, with admission to the Phase I unit of all subjects 24 hours prior to dosing (Day -1). Washout period' used for the fasted-then-fed cohort; The predicted plasma half-life of BioE-1115 in humans based on animal studies is approximately 22 hours. We therefore anticipate that the washout period between fasting and fed dosing will be at least 5 half-lives, or approximately 1 week. However, if the Safety Review Committee decides to recall an SAD cohort back for repeat dosing in the fed state, it will also decide on the minimum wash-out period based on actual PK data from the SAD cohorts.
