Covid19
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a phase 1, placebo-controlled, blinded, randomized, dose escalation study of PBI-0451 in healthy subjects. PBI-0451 is a new chemical entity and inhibitor of the main protease of coronaviruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 disease. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PBI-0451 after single and multiple ascending doses and also to explore drug-drug interaction potential of PBI-0451.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of subjects with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in Single Ascending Dose (SAD) compared to placebo | Day 1- Day 14 (From start of study medication till 14 days of last administration of study drug) | An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in patient or clinical study participant temporarily associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that results in death; is life threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent disability/incapacity; results in congenital anomaly/birth defect. AEs include both SAEs and AEs. TAEs are AEs that occur following the start of treatment or AEs increasing in severity during treatment. |
| Number of subjects with clinically significant change from Baseline in vital signs in SAD | Day 1-Day 14 (From start of study medication till 14 days of last administration of study drug) | Vital signs include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature |
| Number of patients with laboratory abnormalities in SAD | Day 1-Day 14 (From start of study medication till 14 days of last administration of study drug) | Hematology and serum chemistry |
| Number of subjects with treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) compared to placebo | Day 1-Day 11, and Follow up (after 14 days) | An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in patient or clinical study participant temporarily associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that results in death; is life threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent disability/incapacity; results in congenital anomaly/birth defect. AEs include both SAEs and AEs. TAEs are AEs that occur following the start of treatment or AEs increasing in severity during treatment. |
| Number of subjects with clinically significant change from Baseline in vital signs in MAD | Day 1-Day 11, and Follow up (after 14 days) | Vital signs include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature |

Only those data points judged to describe the terminal log linear decline is used in the regression. |
