Brief summary
PF-05180999 is a phosphodiesterase-2 inhibitor that is hypothesized to be able to reduce vascular permeability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effects on histamine-induced wheal of single doses of PF-05180999 in healthy adult subjects. Histamine-induced wheals are biomarkers of vascular permeability.
Interventions
Ascending single oral doses of 120, 240, and 420 mg modified-release tablets
Placebo tablets
Single 120 mg dose administered as modified release formulation
Single 360 mg dose administered as modified release formulation
Single 10 mg dose of cetirizine

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Healthy male subjects between the ages of 18 and 55 years * No history of clinically-relevant atopic or dermatological disease * Positive reaction to intradermal injection of histamine
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects with screening laboratory test results that deviate from the upper and/or lower limits of the reference or acceptable range. The exception is that all liver function tests must not exceed the upper limit of normal. * Subjects with evidence of, or history of, hepatic disorder, including acute or chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C * Intolerance to intradermal histamine injection. * Subjects with dark skin (Part B only).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Under the Effect Curve (AUEC) for Histamine-Induced Wheal | 2-12 hours post-dose | Measure of drug effect |
| Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUCinf) | 0-infinity hours post-dose | Measure of drug absorption and drug exposure |
| Plasma Half-Life (t1/2) | 0-72 hours post-dose | Time for the plasma concentration to decrease by one-half. |
| Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) | 0-72 hours post-dose | Maximum observed plasma concentration |
| Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) | 0-72 hours post-dose | Time when Cmax occurred |
| Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) | 0-72 hours post-dose | Measure of drug absorption and drug exposure |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Area Under the Effect Curve (AUEC) for histamine-induced flare; Dose-response, exposure-response, and maximum response for PF-05180999 against histamine-induced flare | 0-72 hours post-dose | Measures of drug effect |
| Dose-response, exposure-response, and maximum response for PF-05180999 against histamine-induced wheal | 0-72 hours post-dose | Measures of drug effect |
