Interventions

The study will be a Phase 1, single-centre, randomized, open-label food effect inpatient study of the safety and tolerability of a single dose of oral OV4071 in healthy male and female participants.

The study will be a Phase 1, single-centre, randomized, open-label food effect inpatient study of the safety and tolerability of a single dose of oral OV4071 in healthy male and female participants. Part B is a single ascending dose (SAD) dose administered orally with food assessing the food effect in a cohort of 8 participants. The dose for Part B will be determined by the Data Review Committee (DRC) and will not be lower than 10 mg or exceed a maximum dose of up to 800 mg. All doses are administered in-clinic under direct supervision of trained study staff members and mouth checks are performed after each administration to confirm capsule ingestion. This information is documented in the study source documents. The study sponsor, the study principal investigator (PI), medical monitor, and a pharmacokineticist will review data summaries from the food effect cohort and recommend whether to proceed with multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohort dosing. The food effect cohort will assess the safety profile of oral OV4071 on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, vital signs, physical and neurological examinations, hematology and chemistry laboratory results and adverse events (AEs). In addition, neurophysiologic pharmacodynamics (PD) variables in the study are qualitative ECG, particularly the timing and extent of ECG changes in relation to the doses administered. Part B is a single cohort of 8 participants who will be randomised to a fasted and fed group (fasted 4: fed 4). The participants will receive a single dose of OV4071 and monitored for 2 days for the in-patient portion (Day 3) followed by a 7 day washout period. On Day 8 the participants return to the unit in a cross over design where those initially administered a single dose under fasted conditions will receive a single dose under fed conditions and vice versa, those that received the single dose under fed conditions will receive the single dose under fasted conditions and monitored for 2 days for the in-patient cross over portion (Day 3). Participants will be fasted for 8 hours, with nil by mouth before dosing, take the pill with a glass of water, and continue to fast for 4 hours post dosing. The meals administered during part B will consist of a standard high-fat breakfast of 2 eggs fried in butter, 80 g of bacon, 40 g of toast, 25 g of butter, 120 g of potatoes and 240 ml of whole milk (i.e. 180 kcal proteins, 220 kcal carbohydrates, and 600 kcal fat). Dosing is completed within 5 minutes of the meal being eaten. Monitoring visits by the Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) to the study site will be made periodically during the study to ensure all aspects of the protocol are followed.
