Study summary

This is a Phase I, single-center, open label parallel-group, randomized study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD, by continuous intragastric pH measurment), safety and tolerability of single and repeated oral doses of linaprazan glurate in 3 different dose levels given once- (QD) or twice daily (BID), for 14 days, with an additional single dose after 2, 4 or 6 days of drug holiday. The population will include healthy male and female subjects.

The subjects will be followed up to 28 days post IMP dosing.

Yes

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

  1. Willing and able to give written for participation in the study.
  2. Healthy male or female subject aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive.
  3. ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 30.0 kg/m2.
  4. Medically healthy, without abnormal medical history, physical findings, vital signs, ECGs, or laboratory values at the time of screening, as judged by the Investigator.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Female subjects of (defined as all subjects physiologically capable of becoming pregnant)
  2. Male subjects with a partner of childbearing potential
  3. History of any disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, or influence the results or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
  4. History of GERD or clinically significant acid reflux, as judged by the Investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Interventions

  • The subjects will receive 25 mg dose in the evening, in a non-fasted condition 30 minutes after the evening meal, for 14 days. Subjects are to follow a standardized food intake schedule. After a drug holiday period of either 2, 4 or 6 days, linaprazan glurate will be given once more in the evening (non-fasted).

Adverse events

Collected over (S)AE collection was performed on all dosed subjects, in the timeframe between first dose and until safety follow-up 7 +/-2 days after last dose, totalling ca 23-30 days of safety data collection. There was an exception made in the collection timeframe for the SAE, which occurred approximately 2 hours prior to first dose, i.e. outside the actual AE collection time frame as defined by the protocol, but since the event was deemed study procedure related it was reported as an SAE nevertheless.. Non-serious events are listed at a 1% frequency threshold.
