Brief summary

To assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of MTR-601 in normal healthy volunteers under fed and fasted conditions. To evaluate the plasma and urine pharmacokinetics (PK) of MTR-601. To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of MTR-601 on muscle strength and muscle accumulation of MTR-601 by muscle biopsy and other potential mechanistic, predictive and PD markers of MTR-601.

Detailed description

This randomized, placebo-controlled, first-in-human (FIH) study of MTR-601 in normal healthy volunteers will consist of 3 single ascending dose (SAD) level cohorts, 1 SAD Level 2, Two-Dose cohort, 3 multiple ascending dose (MAD) level cohorts, and 1 optional MAD level cohort, each comprised of 8 subjects (6 MTR-601; 2 placebo). The total sample size will be up to 80 subjects to accommodate withdrawal of consent or replacement for other non-treatment-emergent adverse events (non-TEAE) reasons. SAD Levels 1-4 dosing: * Each of the SAD dose level cohorts will have 2 sentinel subjects followed at least 72 hours later by the remaining 6 subjects in 1 or more groups in a staggered fashion. Both sentinel subjects will be evaluated for 72 hours by the Investigator for safety prior to dosing the cohort's remaining 6 subjects. * Dosing will begin at dose Level 1 (10 mg). * Subjects in SAD Levels 1,3 and 4 will be dosed in a fed state (standard non-high-fat breakfast). * Subjects in the SAD Level 2, Two-Dose (20 mg) will be dosed in a fasting state on Day 1 with a subsequent 4-day washout period, followed by dosing in a fed state (standard not- high fat breakfast) on Day 6. * SAD Level 4 (80 mg) dosing is optional and may be adjusted based upon PK and safety results from earlier cohorts. MAD Levels 1-2 dosing: * The MAD portion of the study will commence at MAD Level 1 (10 mg) after the safe completion of the subjects in at least the SAD Level 2 Two-Dose cohort. * Subjects in MAD Levels 1-2 (no more than 20mg) will be dosed in a fed state (standard non-high-fat breakfast) over 14 continuous days of dosing. * MAD cohorts may be enrolled in small groups to accommodate clinic scheduling, with subjects dosed in a staggered fashion.

Inclusion criteria

1. Willing to adhere to study procedures and provide written informed consent prior to the start of any study procedures. 2. 18-45 years of age at the time of consent and in good physical health based on medical history, physical examination including vital signs, as well as laboratory, electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiography (LVEF in the normal range of 50-70%), normal muscle strength upon physical examination, and spirometry test values in the normal range. 3. Weight ≥50 kg and body mass index (BMI) \<33 kg/m2. 4. Females or males with female partners must use a medically accepted contraceptive regimen (i.e., condoms with spermicide, abstinence, nonhormonal intrauterine device (IUD), Essure procedure, or diaphragm with spermicide) from at least 30 days prior to first dose through 90 days after the last dose OR females must be of non-childbearing potential, defined as: 1. Have been surgically sterilized (bilateral oophorectomy) or hysterectomized at least 6 months prior to screening. Surgical sterilization procedures or hysterectomy must be supported with clinical documentation/medical records and noted in the Relevant Medical History/Current Medical Condition section of the electronic case report form (eCRF). 2. Be postmenopausal (i.e., must have no regular menstrual bleeding for at least 2 years prior to inclusion). Menopause will be confirmed by a plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level of \>40 IU/L. 5. Non-smoker and must not have used any tobacco products within 3 months prior to screening. 6. In good physical and mental health as determined by past medical history, physical examination, psychiatric examination, 12-lead ECG, Echocardiography, spirometry, urinary system ultrasound, vital sign measurements, and clinical laboratory evaluations and calculations(e.g., eGFR greater than 90 ml/1.73 m2) at screening or check-in to the clinical research unit (CRU) on Day -1, as assessed by the Investigator (or designee). Congenital nonhemolytic hyperbilirubinemia; or suspicion of Gilbert's syndrome based on total and direct bilirubin is not acceptable. 7. Has clinical laboratory test results within the reference ranges of the testing laboratory, except for results outside reference ranges that are deemed not clinically significant by the Investigator (or designee) at screening and check-in to the CRU on Day -1. 8. Vital signs are within normal limits and FVC (after 3 minutes resting in supine position, will be measured in the seated position) is greater than 90% of the predicted value for gender, age and height with good expiratory effort.
