Brief summary
This is a single-centre, randomised, double blind, single and multiple ascending dose study to assess the safety of AMP945, and how this drug acts in the body in healthy volunteers. AMP945 may be developed for use in patients with prostate cancer, or other diseases, 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 50 years and are in good general health without a clinically significant medical history. People who have been diagnosed with cancer are not eligible for this study. Study details This trial will be conducted across three parts. In the first study (Part A), healthy volunteer participants will be assigned by chance to receive either a single dose of AMP945 or placebo, to be taken after a fasting period. 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 AMP945 or placebo, followed by blood and urine testing. This will continue until 5 doses have been tested. One group of Part A participants will return for Part B to receive either a single dose of AMP945 or placebo (same as received in Part A) immediately after a high fat meal. All participants will have their vital signs checked and will provide blood and urine samples for testing to determine the effect of food on AMP945. In the third study (Part C), healthy volunteer participants will be assigned by chance to receive either a multiple dose of AMP945 or placebo, to be taken after a fasting period each day for 7 days. All participants will have their vital signs checked and will provide blood and urine samples for testing. It is hoped this research will determine the doses of AMP945 that can be administered safely without causing severe reactions, and that may be effective. Once the doses of AMP945 have been determined in healthy volunteers, trials investigating the efficacy of AMP945 as a treatment for prostate cancer patients, or other diseases, may proceed.
Interventions
Part A, single ascending doses: Oral AMP945 capsules administered once with water to in-patients after an overnight fast of 10 hours. Dosing compliance will be assessed by hand and mouth checks. The starting dose (Cohort 1) will be 15mg, and subsequent doses (Cohorts 2 to 5) will be decided based on safety and pharmacokinetic data. The maximum dose will not exceed 1000mg. Part B: Oral AMP945 capsules administered once with water to in-patients immediately after a high fat meal (at least 50% fat) following an an overnight fast of 10 hours. Dosing compliance will be assessed by hand and mouth checks. The dose will be decided based on Part A data, and the relevant Part A cohort will return at least 7 days after dosing for Part B. Part C, multiple ascending doses: Oral AMP945 capsules administered with water to in-patients after an overnight fast of 10 hours, once a day for 7 days. Dosing compliance will be assessed by hand and mouth checks. The starting dose will be decided based on Part A and Part B data, and subsequent doses decided based on safety and pharmacokinetic data
