A Study Investigating the Safety, Absorption, Elimination, and the Effect on the Immune System of ACI-19764 in Healthy Participants
brief summary
The main purposes of this study are: * to investigate the safety and tolerability of ACI-19764 when it is administered to healthy participants * to determine how quickly and to what extent ACI-19764 is absorbed, transported, metabolized, and excreted by the body (fasted and after a meal) * to determine the effect of ACI-19764 on specific markers in the blood that are part of the immune system The effects of ACI-19764 will be compared with the effects of a placebo. ACI-19764 is a brain-penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor. The study consists of 2 parts, Part A (SAD, single ascending dose) and Part B (MAD, multiple ascending doses). Participants in Part A will receive the study compound once and participants in Part B will receive the study compound multiple times (daily over 14 days). Each of these 2 study parts will be divided into different groups of participants to test different doses of ACI-19764.
detailed description
In study Part A (SAD part), up to 6 dose levels with 8 male participants in each are planned (6 participants on ACI-19764 and 2 on placebo). Each cohort has a screening period followed by admission to the site for administration of ACI-19764. Participants remain onsite for observation for 3 days. Participants may need to return for additional visits for 2 days after discharge to check the blood levels of the drug. A safety follow up call is planned approximately 3 weeks after discharge. In one of the higher dose cohorts, the effect of food on drug levels in the blood will also be explored with an additional admission. There may be fewer than 6 cohorts.
In study Part B (MAD part), up to 3 dose levels with 10 participants (8 on active and 2 on placebo) in each are planned. Each dose level will be investigated in a separate cohort of 10 healthy male and female participants (with 4 participants of each sex on active treatment and 1 of each sex on placebo). Each cohort has a screening period followed by admission to the site for 17 days (14-day treatment and 3 days observation). Depending on the blood levels of the drug, participants may have to return to the site for additional blood tests for the 2 days following discharge. A safety phone call is planned approximately 3 weeks after discharge.
