Inclusion criteria

  1. Healthy males and females of non-childbearing (see below) potential.

    1. 18 - 60 years of age.

    1. to use a latex condom during any sexual contact with while participating in the study and for 3 months following discontinuation from this study, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.
    2. to refrain from donating semen or sperm during study participation and for 3 months after discontinuation from this study.
  4. Able and willing (in the investigator's opinion) to comply with all trial requirements.
  5. Available to participate in follow-up for the duration of trial.
  6. Living in the area close enough to be able to attend all follow-up visits.
  7. General good health based on the definition in BreithauptGrögler et al. 2017 and based on history, clinical examination and laboratory results.
  8. Signed informed consent.
  9. Consent to provide clinical history and if necessary consent that the study team is allowed to contact the family doctor of the participant.
  10. All subjects are forbidden from donating blood while on study drug and for 3 months after discontinuation from this study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state, asplenia, recurrent, severe infections and chronic immunosuppressant medication (more than 14 days) within the past 6 months.
  2. Any history of or signs of hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, endocrine, respiratory, immunologic, hematologic, dermatologic, or neurologic clinical significant abnormalities.

  7. Use of immunoglobulins or blood products within 3 months prior to enrolment.
  8. Receipt of any investigational medicinal product in the 30 days preceding enrolment, or planned receipt during the trial period.
  9. Participation in other clinical trials or observation period of competing trials.
  10. History of cancer (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin and cervical carcinoma in situ in the last five years).
  11. Mental disorders or other psychiatric conditions (including depression).

  13. Suspected or known injecting drug abuse in the 5 years preceding enrolment.
  14. Participants unable to be closely followed for social, geographic or psychological reasons.
  15. Any clinically significant abnormal finding on biochemistry or hematology blood tests, urine analysis or clinical examination.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Oleylphosphocholine capsules (IMP) oral administration

    Participants will receive once Oleylphosphocholine (capsule/s) orally as a single dose under fed conditions.

    Drug: Oleylphosphocholine

Interventions

  • DrugOleylphosphocholine

    The trial is a dose escalation trial that follows a 3+3 approach. The sample size is determined by a decision-making algorithm and by the tolerability of the study drug in the study participants. This design follows predetermined rules that help identify notable toxicities in time with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The initial dose will be 50mg OlPC (1 capsule) and participants in subsequent cohorts will receive 100mg (2 capsules), 150mg (3 capsules), 200mg (4 capsules), 250mg (5 capsules), or 300mg (6 capsules) if the previous doses are tolerated. The study ends when the last cohort is completed or when it is determined that a dose (within a cohort) is not tolerable.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Subject incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events at administration and follow-up visits

    Time frame: Participants are followed up for 21 days and an additional telephone visit 35 days after drug administration will be conducted before dismissing the participant.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cmax

    Maximum observed concentration in plasma after single dose (µg/mL)

    Time frame: 21 days

  2. Tmax

    Time of maximum observed concentration (h)

    Time frame: 21 days

  3. AUC0-t

    Area under the curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration, calculated using the Linear Up / Log Down trapezoidal rule (h\*µg/mL)

    Time frame: 21 days

  4. AUC0-24

    Area under the curve from time 0 to hour 24 (single-dose only), calculated using the Linear Up / Log Down trapezoidal rule (h\*µg/mL)

    Time frame: 21 days

  5. AUC0-inf

    Area under the curve from time 0 to infinity (single-dose only), calculated as AUC0-inf = AUC0-t + Ct / λz, where Ct is the last observed quantifiable concentration and λz is the elimination rate constant (h\*µg/mL)

    Time frame: 21 days

  6. t1/2

    Elimination half-life, calculated as ln(2) / λz (h)

    Time frame: 21 days

  7. AUCres

    Residual Area: extrapolated area (single-dose) calculated as AUCres = 100 (AUC(0-inf) - AUC(0-t)) / AUC(0-inf)

    Time frame: 21 days
