Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of CDD-2101 in Health Volunteers

Constipation - Functional

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study to confirm the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of CDD-2101 in healthy subjects. A total of 20 subjects aged 18-65 years with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 will be hospitalized and randomized in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio (N=4/group) to receive one dose of CDD-2101 at 5, 10, 15 or 20 g and/or placebo by taking a suspension in water orally. Subjects will complete a daily bowel habit diary 7 days and refrain from food containing any of the botanicals in CDD-2101 for at least 3 days prior to randomization. Subjects will also need to abstain from the consumption of any xanthine containing products (e.g. coffee, tea, chocolate, or Coca-Cola like drinks) more than 6 cups per day (or equivalent) 24 hours before randomization. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and a full physical examination will be performed at pre-dose and 24 h post-dose. Blood samples will be collected at 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post-dose. Urine samples will be collected immediately before and at 0-3 h, 3-6 h, 6-9 h, 9-12 h and 12-24 h post-dose. Vital signs will be measured at 0 (pre-dose), 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post-dose. Adverse events (AEs) will be monitored during the study period. After the 24 h post-dose procedures are completed, the investigator will confirm the subjects are in good health before discharging them. All subjects will have a follow-up visit 3 days after the dose of investigational drug. Plasma samples will be analyzed for complete blood count, liver and kidney function markers, total cholesterol, glucose, calcium and marker compounds of CDD-2101. Urine samples will be processed for quantitation of marker compounds of CDD-2101. The primary endpoint will be safety and tolerability of CDD-2101, with vital signs, reported number and seriousness of AEs, physical examination, and laboratory tests as outcome measures. The secondary endpoints will be the pharmacokinetic profile, with outcome measures including peak plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 24 h post-dose and renal excretion of marker compounds, and bowel movement with the number of complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) and stool quality based on the Bristol Stool Form Scale as outcome measures.

A total of 20 eligible healthy subjects aged 18-65 years, body weight of 50kg or more with a BMI of 18.5-29.9 kg/m2 will be hospitalized and randomized in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio (N=4/group) to receive one dose of CDD-2101 at 5, 10, 15 or 20 g and/or placebo by taking a suspension in water orally. All subjects will be required to refrain from food containing any of the botanicals in CDD-2101 for at least 3 days prior to randomization. Each subject will also be required to complete a daily bowel habit diary logging all clinical events during the study. The diary may be completed online using an electronic case report form (eCRF) or by pen and paper. Each subject will be provided with the study diary after the screening visit. Subjects will be instructed to record in the diary every day, including the day admitted to the CPU, and continue until 3 days after the dose of investigational drug. Study diary will be collected and reviewed for completeness at baseline/randomization, and at the end-of-follow-up visit (Day 3). Authorized study personnel will transcribe all data collected from the physical diaries into eCRF. All information collected from the diaries will be analyzed for primary and secondary endpoints in the study. All subjects will be instructed about diary completion at every study visit. Documentation that subjects have been appropriately instructed (and re-instructed as necessary) on diary completion should be recorded in the subject's source notes. Subjects who are not consistent or thorough with study diary completion may receive phone reminders if deemed necessary by the investigators. The authorized study personnel providing phone reminders must document the phone contact process in the subject's source notes. A sample of the diary is in Appendix 1. The diary is to record the number of bowel openings, a sense of complete/incomplete evacuation, and quality of stool according to the Bristol Stool Form Scale (Appendix 2). The Bristol Stool Form Scale is a medical aid designed to classify stools into seven groups and will be supplied to the subjects. Bristol Stool Form Scale is defined as 7-point scale in which a score of 1 - separate hard lumps, 2 - sausage shaped but lumpy, 3 - sausage-like with cracks on the surface, 4 - sausage-like but smooth and soft, 5 - soft blobs with clearcut edge, 6 - fluffy pieces with ragged edges ragged edges, and 7 - watery with no solid pieces. A 12-lead ECG will be performed at pre-dose and 24 h post-dose. Full physical examination will be performed 24 h post-dose. Blood samples will be collected at 0 (pre-dose), 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post-dose. Urine samples will be collected immediately before and at 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 and 12-24 h post-dose. Vital signs will be assessed at 0 (pre-dose), 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h post-dose. AEs will be monitored during the study period. Upon completion of the 24 h post-dose procedures, the investigator will confirm that it is safe (i.e., the subject appears healthy) before discharging the participants. All subjects will return for a follow-up visit on Day 4 after the last dose of investigational drug. The primary endpoint will be safety and tolerability of CDD-2101, with vital signs, reported number and seriousness of AEs, physical examination, and laboratory tests as outcome measures. The secondary endpoint will be the pharmacokinetic profile with Cmax, Tmax, AUC from 0 to 24 h post-dose and renal excretion as outcome measures, and bowel movement with the number of CSBM and stool quality based on the Bristol Stool Form Scale as outcome measures. Available data will be entered in a secure clinical database using eCRF, along with subject information.
