Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Men and women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are willing to use a highly effective method of contraception during the treatment and 7 d after the last administration of the investigational medicinal product (IMP), or women of no childbearing potential (WNCBP) [defined as women who underwent surgical sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation) or cessation of menses for 12 or more consecutive months and a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test with FSH levels 40 mIU/ml], or individuals who are convincingly sexually abstinent, - An understanding, ability, and willingness to fully comply with study interventions and restrictions, - Ability to provide written, personally signed and dated informed consent to participate in the study, in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guideline E6 and applicable regulations, before completing any study-related interventions. - Body mass index < 30 kg/m2, - Willingness to follow the pertinent guidelines for prevention of spreading SARS-CoV2 based on SOPs of the hospital administration of the trial site. This may include a SARS-CoV2 testing and proof of vaccination. These rules may change during the course of the trial.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: At the time of SCR 1. Clinically significant or relevant abnormalities in the medical history, physical examination, and laboratory evaluation as assessed by the investigator, 2. Ongoing or past history of physical or psychiatric illness judged by the investigator as clinically relevant, 3. Pregnancy or breast feeding, 4. Any acute or chronic illness or clinically relevant finding known or expected to modify absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of OTT, 5. Any known history of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to drugs or food or any other clinically significant allergies, 6. Any known allergies to OTT or further ingredients of the trial drugs, 7. Clinically relevant findings in any of the following investigations at SCR. Minor deviations of laboratory values from the normal range may be accepted if, in the opinion of the investigator, they have no clinical significance for this trial, a) Hemoglobin (Hb) 1.2 x upper limit of normal (ULN), in case of suspected Gilbert’s disease: total bilirubin = 3 x ULN is acceptable, d) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 1.1 x ULN, e) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 1.2 x ULN, f) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) not within normal limits, g) Creatine kinase (CK) not within normal limits (volunteers with CK elevations between = 3 x ULN may be included if troponin T is negative), 8. A positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C (HCV) antibody screen, or positive result for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), 9. A positive result in the drug screening test at SCR, 10. Any intake of substances (prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, or herbal preparations with active ingredients) known to inhibit drug metabolizing enzymes or transport enzymes within a period of less than 5 times the respective elimination half-life (t1/2) with regard to the expected date of first dose of IMP (except hormonal contraception, iodine, and levothyroxine), 11. Any intake of substances (prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, or herbal preparations with active ingredients) known to induce drug metabolizing enzymes or transport enzymes within a period of 14 d with regard to the expected date of first dose of IMP, 12. Use of another IMP within 30 d prior to receiving the first dose of IMP or active enrolment in another drug or vaccine clinical trial, 13. History of immunization within 14 d prior to expected dosing, including SARS-CoV2 vaccinations, and/ or plans to get vaccinated during the observation time. At day 1, prior to dosing: 14. Any relevant intercurrent illness since SCR, 15. Any intake of substances (prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, or herbal preparations with active ingredients) known to inhibit drug metabolizing enzymes or transport enzymes within a period of less than 5 times the respective elimination half-life (t1/2) with regard to the expected date of first dose of IMP (except hormonal contraception, iodine, and levothyroxine), 16. Any intake of substances (prescription medication, over-the-counter medicine, or herbal preparations with active ingredients) known to induce drug metabolizing enzymes or transport enzymes within a period of 14 d with regard to the expected date of first dose of IMP, and 17. Ingestion of a meal within the last 10 h (non-fasting state).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Phase A: Listing, tables, and summaries of all adverse events (AE) and treatment-emerging adverse events (TEAE) by system organ class (SOC), seriousness, relatedness, severity, and outcome. Comparative cohorts 1 and 2: Geometric mean ratio of octreotide´s (OTT) AUC0-8 and Cmax after the following administrations: p.o. with LipOra peptide, p.o. without LipOra peptide, and s.c. at the standard dose of 0.1 mg.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Phase A: • Maximal AUC/dose of octreotide (OTT), • Description of PK parameters of OTT and LipOra peptide PK by non-compartmental analysis: area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-8), maximal concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), half-life (t1/2), apparent clearance (Cl/F), and volume of distribution (Vd). Further derived PK parameters may be calculated if deemed necessary. Comparative cohorts 1 and 2: • Description of the PK parameters of OTT and LipOra peptide by non-compartmental analysis: area under the plasma concentration- time curve (AUC0-8), maximal concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), half-life (t1/2), apparent clearance (Cl/F), and volume of distribution (Vd). Further derived PK parameters may be calculated if deemed necessary. • Total urinary OTT and LipOra peptide excretion in 24-h urine collection • Listing, tables and summaries of all AE and TEAE by system organ class (SOC), seriousness, relatedness, severity, and outcome. Calculation of the GMR of OTT´s AUC and Cmax after the following administrations (only for the dose selected for the Comparative cohort 2): - p.o. with LipOra peptide related to s.c. at the standard dose of 0.1 mg, and - p.o. without LipOra peptide related to s.c. at the standard dose of 0.1 mg. •Calculation of the GMR and the 90 % confidence interval (CI) of AUC and Cmax of p.o. OTT / LipOra peptide and 0.1 mg s.c. OTT (only for the dose selected for the comparative cohort 2).
