Study summary

This single-center study will be conducted in 3 phases: a single-ascending dose phase (up to 8 cohorts, 8 subjects/cohort), a multiple-dose phase (up to 5 cohorts, 9 subjects/cohort), and a midazolam drug-drug interaction phase (one cohort of 8 subjects).

Read the detailed description

The single-dose phase initiates with ascending doses of an oral solution followed by a 3-way crossover food effect and bioavailability (capsule formulation) cohort. Serum IGF-1 levels and GHRH-analog stimulated GH levels will be assessed as pharmacodynamics measures.

The first multiple-dose (7 days dosing) cohort will be initiated after the PK and safety data are available from the single-dose phase. Subsequent multiple-dose cohorts will have 10 days of dosing. Serum IGF-1 level and GH levels will be assessed as pharmacodynamics measures.

The last cohort in the study is midazolam drug-drug interaction study. The dose will be selected based on review of all pharmacokinetic and safety data for the single-dose and multiple-dose cohorts completed. On Day 1, 8 subjects will receive a single oral 2 mg dose of midazolam. Starting on Day 3 through Day 8, subjects will receive daily doses of CRN00808. On Day 9, subjects will be administered CRN00808 and 2 mg midazolam together.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • 18 to 30 kg/m2
  • Females or surgically sterile

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any uncontrolled or active major systemic disease including, but not limited to: acromegaly (with or without pituitary surgery or radiation therapy), cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, metabolic, urogenital, neurological, immunological, psychiatric, or neoplastic disorder with potential
  • History or presence of within the past 5 years. Subjects who have been successfully treated (for 3 months or longer) with no recurrence of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix may be enrolled.
  • Use of any drug within the past 60 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer
  • Have a medically significant abnormality observed during screening or the admission physical examination or in any other baseline measurements
  • Use of any prior medication without approval of the investigator within 14 days prior to admission
  • Tested positive at screening for , surface antigen (HBsAg) or antibody (HCV-Ab) or has a history of a positive result
  • History of alcohol or substance abuse in the past 6 months
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the subject's appropriate participation in this Phase 1 study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
