Study summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study in healthy subjects to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics of HL-400 (a NLRP3 inhibitor) following oral single and multiple ascending dose administration.

Inclusion Criteria: * Are capable of giving written informed consent and complying with study procedures, schedule, requirements, and restrictions. * Are between the ages of 18 and 65 years, inclusive, at screening. * Female subjects have a negative serum hCG pregnancy test result at screening andDay (-1), agree to refrain from ova donation for at least 3 months after the last dose, and willingness to comply with protocol-specified contraceptive methods. * Male subjects with female partners of reproductive potential must agree to practice abstinence or to use a condom (male subject) plus an additional barrier method (female partner) of contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 3 months after last dosing; must also agree to refrain from sperm donation for at least 3 months after the last dose. * Considered healthy by the Investigator, based on subject's reported medical history, full physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, 12-lead ECG, and vital signs. * Non-smoker for at least 6 months prior to screening. * Body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 32.0 kg/m2 inclusive, except for MAD Cohort 3 subjects with a BMI of of 32.0 to 42.0 kg/m2 inclusive. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant history of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, hematologic, psychiatric, renal, hepatic, bronchopulmonary, neurologic, immunologic, lipid metabolism disorders, or drug hypersensitivity as determined by the Investigator. * Pregnant (as determined by pregnancy test result) or breastfeeding women. * History of chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, unexplained weight loss, food allergies or intolerance. * Positive blood screen for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1/2), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibody. * A positive screen for alcohol or drugs of abuse at screening or Day -1. * An unwillingness or inability to comply with food and beverage restrictions during study participation. * Volunteers who have participated in any investigational drug or device study within past 3 months prior to dosing. * Any condition or finding that in the Investigators opinion would put the subject or study conduct at risk if the subject were to participate in the study.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Number and percentage of participants with adverse events (AEs) — From the time of taking first dose of study drug to 7 days after the last dose.
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of HL-400 following oral single and multiple ascending dose administration.
  • Number and percentage of adverse events (AEs) according to severity — From the time of taking first dose of study drug to 7 days after the last dose.
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of HL-400 following oral single and multiple ascending dose administration.
  • Change in 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters (PR Interval, QRS Complex, QT Interval, QTC Interval) from baseline — From baseline to 7 days after the last dose.
    To evaluate the safety and tolerability of HL-400 following oral single and multiple ascending dose administration.
  • Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts: Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of HL-400 — From 0.5 hour to 72 hours post-dose.
    To characterize the PK in the plasma of HL-400 following oral single dose administration.
  • Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts: Time to reach maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax) of HL-400 — From 0.5 hour to 72 hours post-dose.
    To characterize the PK in the plasma of HL-400 following oral single dose administration.
  • Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts: Plasma decay half-life (t1/2) of HL-400 — From 0.5 hour to 72 hours post-dose.
    To characterize the PK in the plasma of HL-400 following oral single dose administration.
  • Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Cohorts: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time (AUCinf) of HL-400 — From 0.5 hour to 72 hours post-dose.
    To characterize the PK in the plasma of HL-400 following oral single dose administration.
  • Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Cohorts: Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of HL-400 — From Day 1 pre-dose to 72 hours after the last dose.
    To characterize the PK in the plasma of HL-400 following oral multiple ascending dose administration.
  • Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Cohorts: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinite time (AUCinf) of HL-400 — From Day 1 pre-dose to 72 hours after the last dose.
    To characterize the PK in the plasma of HL-400 following oral multiple ascending dose administration.
