Brief summary
The study is intended to assess the relative bioavailability of the analytes BH4 and sepiapterin following a single oral dose of 2 formulations of PTC923 (PTC923 Phase 3 powder for oral use in water [Formulation B] vs. PTC923 Phase 1/2 powder for oral suspension in Medisca oral mix [Formulation A]) under fed conditions in male and female adult healthy volunteers. Medisca oral mix is used for Formulation A to be consistent with the way in which the Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies were conducted previously. The current powder for oral use PTC923 formulation has been used in the Phase 1/2 studies in healthy volunteers and PKU and/or PBD patients.
Interventions
This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, single dose, crossover study consisting of 2 independent parts: a relative bioavailability study of 2 formulations (Formulation A and Formulation B) and 2 doses of PTC923 (Part A); and a food effect study of Formulation B (Part B) in in healthy adult subjects. Subjects are permitted to participate in one study part (Part A or Part B) only.
Part A is a cross over study between Formulation A and Formulation B. Part A and Part B are independent of each ot
This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, single dose, crossover study consisting of 2 independent parts: a relative bioavailability study of 2 formulations (Formulation A and Formulation B) and 2 doses of PTC923 (Part A); and a food effect study of Formulation B (Part B) in in healthy adult subjects. Subjects are permitted to participate in one study part (Part A or Part B) only. Part A is a cross over study between Formulation A and Formulation B. Part A and Part B are independent of each other. Part B is a cross over study between fasted and fed of Formulation B. Mode of administration: Oral suspension. Formulation B is a powder mixed with water and Formulation A is a powder mixed with ‘Medisca Oral Mix’ oral suspension. Ingestion will be under clinical monitoring. Subjects are inpatients at CMAX. Laboratory tests for PK will also confirm ingestion. Part A Subjects will be randomized into the 2 treatment sequences of PTC923 in a 1:1 ratio. Each treatment is a single dose, and each treatment will be separated from the next by a minimum of 3-day washout period. Sequence 1: 20 mg/kg Formulation A PTC923, 20 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923, 60 mg/kg Formulation A PTC923, and 60 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 -all administered concurrent with a low-fat meal. Sequence 2: 20 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923, 20 mg/kg Formulation A PTC923, 60 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923, and 60 mg/kg Formulation A PTC923 -all administered concurrent with a low-fat meal. Part B Subjects will be randomized into the 2 treatment sequences of PTC923 in a 1:1 ratio. Each treatment is a single dose, and each treatment will be separated from the next by a minimum of 3-day washout period. Subjects will only receive Formulation B PTC923 in this study part. Sequence 3: 20 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 fasted, 20 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 high-fat fed, 60 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 fasted, and 60 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 high-fat fed Sequence 4: 20 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 high-fat fed, 20 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 fasted, 60 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 high-fat fed, and 60 mg/kg Formulation B PTC923 fasted. Formulation B is a powder mixed with water and Formulation A is a powder mixed with ‘Medisca Oral Mix’ oral suspension. Low fat is a 400-500 calorie meal with 25% of the calories from fat. An example of a low fat meal is one boiled egg, one packet of instant oatmeal made with water and one cup of low fat milk – with the whole meal containing approximately 25% fat. High fat is a 800-1000 calorie meal with 60% of the calories from fat. An example of a high fat meal is two eggs fried in butter, two strips of bacon, two slices of toast with butter, four ounces of hash brown potatoes and eight ounces of whole milk – with the whole meal containing approximately 60% fat. Fasting is for 10 hours overnight fast. Formulation B is provided 30 minutes after the high fat meal is consumed. The fasting is an overnight fast of 10 hours with up to 240 mL of water allowed during the fast. Water (except water provided with each dosing) will be restricted 1 hour prior to and 1 hour after each study drug administration. After the dose subjects may consume water ad libitum from 1 hour a snack from 4 hours post dose, if desired.

Inclusion criteria
Individuals eligible to participate in this study include those who meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Males or females aged between 18 and 55 years old and have a Body Mass Index between 18.5 and 30.0 kg/m squared 2. Subjects must understand the nature of the study and must provide signed and dated written informed consent before the conduct of any study-related procedures. 3. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy testing at Screening and agree to abstinence or the use of effective forms of contraception (with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Highly effective contraception or abstinence must be continued for the duration of the study and for up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. 4. Males with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use barrier contraceptive and their female partners must use a highly effective method of contraception from Screening through 90 days after the last dose of study drug. Males must also refrain from sperm donations during this time period. Males who are abstinent will not be required to use a contraceptive method unless they become sexually active. Males who have undergone a vasectomy are not required to use a contraceptive method if at least 16 weeks after the procedure. Same-sex couples are not required to use contraception. 5. Females with a negative pregnancy test at Screening and on Day -1 6. Willing and able to comply with the protocol 7. Have not used tobacco products of any kind (eg, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco) for at least 2 weeks prior to the Screening Visit and are willing to abstain from these products through end of study. 8. Part A only: Subject must be willing and able to consume the entire low-fat breakfast in the designated timeframe. 9. Part B only: Subject must be willing and able to consume the entire high-fat breakfast in the designated timeframe.
Exclusion criteria
