Brief summary

This is a Phase 1 study designed to explore the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of K-755 following oral administration to healthy male and female volunteers.

Single ascending dose (SAD). There will be 7 cohorts in the Part A. Three quarters of subjects will receive K-755 tablet orally in a double-blind fashion.

DRUGPlacebo Part A (SAD)

Single ascending dose (SAD). In Part A, one quarter of subjects will receive placebo tablet orally in a double-blind fashion.

DRUGK-755 Part B (MAD)

Multiple ascending dose (MAD). There will be 4 cohorts in the Part B. Three quarters of subjects will receive K-755 oral tablet in a double-blind fashion.

DRUGPlacebo Part B (MAD)

Multiple ascending dose (MAD). In Part B, one quarter of subjects will receive placebo tablet orally in a double-blind fashion.

DRUGK-755 Part C (FE)

Food effect (FE). All subjects in Part C will receive K-755 oral tablet both under fed and fasted condition in a open-label, crossover fashion.

DRUGK-755 Part D (FE)

Food effect (FE). All subjects in Part D will receive K-755 oral tablet both under fed and fasted condition in a open-label, crossover fashion.

DRUGK-755 Part E (MAD)

Multiple ascending dose (MAD). There will be 2 cohorts in the Part E. Three quarters of subjects will receive K-755 oral tablet in a double-blind fashion.

DRUGPlacebo Part E (MAD)

Multiple ascending dose (MAD). In the Part E. One quarter of subjects will receive placebo tablet orally in a double-blind fashion.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Part A, B, C, D and E: Incidence and severity of Adverse EventsUp to 28 days after last administrationA treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) will be summarized by treatment and overall, and summarized for each treatment by severity and relationship to study drug. All TEAEs leading to withdrawal, or SAEs, will be summarized.
Part A, B, C, D and E: Number of subjects with clinical laboratory test abnormalitiesUp to 28 days after last administrationThe clinical laboratory will include hematology (hematocrit, hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, mean cell volume, platelet count, red blood cell count, white blood cell count), clinical chemistry (alanine aminotransferase, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, calcium, chloride, cholesterol, creatinine, creatine phosphokinase, direct bilirubin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, gamma glutamyl transferase, glucose. inorganic phosphate, iron, lactate dehydrogenase, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, total bilirubin, total CO2, total protein, triglyceride, urea, uric acid), and urinalysis (bilirubin, blood, color and appearance, glucose, ketones, leukocyte esterase, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, microscopic examination, electrolytes). Abnormality will be determined by the investigator.
Part A, B, C, D and E: Number of subjects with vital signs abnormalitiesUp to 28 days after last administrationThe vital sign will include blood pressure (mmHg), pulse rate (bpm), respiratory rate (breaths/min), and body temperature (degree Celsius). Abnormality will be determined by the investigator.
Part A, B, C, D and E: Number of subjects with clinically significant change in body weightUp to 28 days after last administrationChange in body weight (kg) at baseline and post dose will be measured. Clinical significance will be determined by the investigator.
Part A, B, C, D and E: Number of subjects with abnormal findings in physical examinationsUp to 28 days after last administrationThe physical examination will typically include general appearance, head and neck, eyes, ear, nose and throat, lymph nodes, thyroid, cardiovascular, respiratory, abdomen, nervous, skin, musculoskeletal, peripheral vascular and extremities and be performed at Investigator's discretion based on reported symptoms. Abnormality will be determined by the investigator.
