Brief summary

This is an open-label and uncontrolled study to evaluate the comparative PK of EQ143 following oral single dose administration in adult healthy volunteers from Caucasian and ethnic Chinese populations. A total of one (1) single dose cohort is planned at 110 mg of EQ143. EQ143 is an approved therapy in China at the 110 mg dose for the treatment of patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation-positive, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who have progressed during or after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. A total of 30 (15 Caucasian and 15 ethnic Chinese) participants will be evaluated.

Interventions

EQ143 tablet is an oral solid dosage form manufactured at a strength of 55 mg. Each EQ143 tablet contains EQ143 drug substance, microcrystalline cellulose (KG802), anhydrous lactose (21AN), sodium carboxymethyl starch (type A), sodium stearyl fumarate and magnesium stearate (MF-2-V). EQ143 is orally administered once at a dose of 110 mg (two tablets) for each single dose. Participants will ingest EQ143 on an empty stomach after overnight fasting (minimum 8 hours) and will have a total of three o

Each EQ143 tablet contains EQ143 drug substance, microcrystalline cellulose (KG802), anhydrous lactose (21AN), sodium carboxymethyl starch (type A), sodium stearyl fumarate and magnesium stearate (MF-2-V). EQ143 is orally administered once at a dose of 110 mg (two tablets) for each single dose. Participants will ingest EQ143 on an empty stomach after overnight fasting (minimum 8 hours) and will have a total of three overnight stays (admission on Day -1 until 48 hours post-dose on Day 3) during a Treatment period. The total duration of participation in the study for each participant is up to 38 days (which includes up to 28 days of Screening). All doses will be administered as a single dose at the CRU in the presence of the Investigator or their designee. Time of dose will be recorded in the participant’s eCRF. Participants should be advised not to crush, break, chew, or dissolve the tablet and to take the study medication with room temperature water. Water will be allowed as desired except for 1 hour before and 1 hour after EQ143 administration. Participants are to avoid eating for 1 hour after dosing. The Investigator or designee will be fully responsible for the security, accessibility, and storage of EQ143 while it is at the investigational facility. On completion of the study, any surplus EQ143 supplies will be destroyed upon receipt of written approval from the Sponsor and in accordance with the facility’s standard procedures. Evidence of the destruction of any surplus EQ143 will be supplied to the study monitor. If no supplies remain, this will be documented in the dispensing record.

Inclusion criteria

To be eligible for this study, a participant has to meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Participant self-reports as being of non-Chinese, European descent or participant self-reports as having two Han Chinese biological parents 2. Is capable of giving informed consent and complying with study procedures; 3. Healthy male or female participants, between the ages of 18 and 65 years, inclusive at the time of informed consent; 4. Body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 34.9 kg per m2 inclusive and body weight not less than 50 kg; 5. Female participants must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at Screening and negative urine pregnancy test at admission to the study site, are not currently breast-feeding, and meet one of the following criteria: a. Surgically sterile for at least 3 months prior to Screening by one of the following means: - Bilateral tubal ligation - Bilateral salpingectomy (with or without oophorectomy) - Surgical hysterectomy - Bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) b. Postmenopausal, defined as the following: - Last menstrual period greater than 12 months prior to Screening without an alternative medical cause, And - Postmenopausal status confirmed by serum FSH concentration at Screening greater than 40 milli-international units per mL c. Female subjects of childbearing potential must use at least one of the following protocol specified highly effective methods of birth control, And must agree to use barrier contraception (male condom) during heterosexual intercourse, from the time of Screening until at least 30 days after EQ143 treatment: - Partner vasectomy (at least 6 months prior to Screening; vasectomized partner should be the sole partner of the female subject) - Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception (oral, intravaginal, transdermal, injectable) - Progestogen-only hormonal contraception (oral, injectable, implantable) - Implantable device (implantable rod or intrauterine device) Alternatively, females of childbearing potential must practice complete abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant; periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable) from Screening until at least 30 days after EQ143 treatment. It is not necessary to use any other method of contraception when complete abstinence is elected. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who choose complete abstinence must continue to have pregnancy tests as per protocol. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated by the Investigator in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. 6. Male participants must agree to utilize a highly effective method of contraception (condom) during heterosexual intercourse from CRU admission until 12 weeks following the final Follow-up visit on Day 10 and must refrain from donating sperm for this same period; 7. Considered healthy by the Investigator, based on participant’s reported medical history, full physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, 12-lead ECG, and vital signs; 8. Willing and able to adhere to study restrictions and to be confined at the clinical research center; 9. Participants willing to defer receiving prophylactic live immunizations during the duration of the study.

Exclusion criteria

A participant who meets any of the following exclusion criteria must be excluded from the study: 1. Inability to attend all the study visits or comply with study procedures; 2.
