Study arms

  • Experimental
    MAX-40070

    MAX-40070 is a liniment with two dose specification: 0.5%, 2% (Weight/Volume). In SAD phase, MAX-40070 will be applied once in each cohort, and there will be 6 cohorts. For the first 2 cohorts, 0.5% MAX-40070 will be used. For the rest 4 cohorts, 2% MAX-40070 will be used. In MAD phase, MAX-40070 2% will be applied once daily for consecutive 14 days in each cohort.

    Drug: MAX-40070

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    Placebo is a liniment with two dose specification: 0.5%, 2% (Weight/Volume) to match with active drug in 2:1 manner ( 6 active: 2 placebo in each cohort).

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • DrugMAX-40070

    In the SAD phase, the proposed doses will be increased gradually. Each cohort will consist of 8 subjects, with 6 subjects randomly assigned to MAX-40070. During the MAD phase, the treatment will be administered once a day for 14 consecutive days.

  • DrugPlacebo

    In the SAD phase, the proposed doses will be increased gradually. Each cohort will consist of 8 subjects, with 2 subjects randomly assigned to placebo In the MAD phase, the treatment will be administered once a day for 14 consecutive days. Each cohort will consist of 10 subjects, with 2 subjects randomly assigned to placebo

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) by skin irritation assessment, vital sign, ECG and clinical lab assessments

    skin irritation assessment will be performed during the treatment period. The dermal response score will be based on a visual irritation scale (0-7) that rates the degree of erythema, edema and other signs of cutaneous irritation. abnormal vital sign (including blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate and oral temperatures), 12-lead ECG, hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, RBC count, WBC count, with differential), blood chemistry (BUN, creatinine, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, AST, ALT, GGT, LDH, glucose, albumin, total protein, bicarbonate, phosphate, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, total cholesterol, uric acid) and urinalysis (pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, nitrites, leukocytes, urobilinogen, microscopic urine analysis on abnormal findings) during the treatment period will be recorded and reported.

    Time frame: 36 Days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax)

    Pharmacokinetics

    Time frame: 1 Day

  2. Time at which Cmax was first observed (Tmax)

    Pharmacokinetics

    Time frame: 1 Day

  3. Area under the concentration curve from time 0 hour to 24 hour (AUC0-24)

    Pharmacokinetics

    Time frame: 1 Day

  4. Area under the concentration curve for on dosing interval at steady state (AUC0-t)

    Pharmacokinetics

    Time frame: 36 Days
