Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Brief summary

This study will be divided into 2 parts. Part 1 is a randomized, double-blind, single centre, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD) phase I study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK and PD (Pharmacodynamic) of TD139 in up to 36 healthy male subjects. Part 2 will be a randomized, double-blind, multi-centre, placebo-controlled, multiple dose expansion cohort, designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of TD139 in up to 24 male subjects and female subjects of non child-bearing potential with IPF.

Detailed description

Up to 6 cohorts of 6 subjects will be randomly assigned in a blinded fashion to receive either a single dose of TD139 or matching placebo via DPI (dry powder inhaler) in an ascending dose fashion. A single cohort of up to 24 patients will be randomly assigned in a blinded fashion to receive a single dose of TD139 or placebo via DPI once daily for 14 days in a 2:1 TD139 to placebo ratio. The dose of TD139 selected will be based on data from Part 1 and on pre-clinical efficacy and safety data.

Inclusion criteria

Part 1 Inclusion Criteria * Healthy male subjects aged between 18 and 55 years of age. * Male subject willing to use a condom, if applicable (unless anatomically sterile or where abstaining from sexual intercourse is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject) from the Day 1 dose of study medication until 3 months afterwards. * Subject with a body weight of at least 50 kg and a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 35 kg/m2. BMI = Body weight (kg) / \[Height (m)\]2. * Subject with no clinically significant abnormal serum biochemistry, haematology and urine examination values within 28 days of the Day 1 dose of study medication. * Subject with a negative urinary drugs of abuse screen, determined within 28 days of the Day 1 dose of study medication, (N.B. a positive alcohol result may be repeated at the discretion of the Investigator). * Subject with negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B surface antigen (Hep B) and hepatitis C virus antibody (Hep C) results. * Subject with no clinically significant abnormalities in 12 lead ECG determined within 28 days of the Day 1 dose of study medication. * Subjects were non smokers or former smokers (having ceased smoking for at least 6 months). * Subjects with no clinically significant impairment in oxygen saturation. * Subject satisfied a medical examiner about their fitness to participate in the study. * Subject provided written informed consent to participate in the study. * Subject was available to complete the study (including all follow up visits). Confirmed at Baseline / Prior to First Dose: * Subject continued to meet all screening inclusion criteria. * Subject with a negative urinary drugs of abuse screen (including alcohol) prior to dosing.

Exclusion criteria

* A clinically significant illness or surgery within 8 weeks prior to the Day 1 dose of study medication. * Significant medical history that, in the Investigator's opinion, may have adversely affected participation. * History of allergy or significant adverse reaction to drugs similar to the investigational drug, to nicotine, or to cholinergic drugs or to any drugs with a similar chemical structure. * History of hypersensitivity (anaphylaxis, angioedema) to any drug. * Use of any drug known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism, within 30 days prior to the Day 1 dose of study medication. * Use of medications known to prolong QT/QTc interval within 14 days prior to the Day 1 dose of study medication. * Any clinically significant findings of physical examination or laboratory findings at screening. * A clinically significant history of drug or alcohol abuse. * Receipt of regular/over the counter medication within 14 days of the Day 1 dose of study medication that may have had an impact on the safety and objectives of the study (at the Investigator's discretion). * Evidence of renal, hepatic, central nervous system, respiratory, cardiovascular or metabolic dysfunction. * Inability to communicate well with the Investigator (i.e., language problem, poor mental development or impaired cerebral function). * Participation in a New Chemical Entity clinical study within the previous 4 months or a marketed drug clinical study within the previous 3 months. (N.B. washout period between studies is defined as the period of time elapsed between the last dose of the previous study and the first dose of the next study). * Donation of 450 mL or more blood within the previous 3 months.
