A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety of an Oral Biologic in Healthy Participants

PHASE1RECRUITING

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the oral biologic MB-001 is safe in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the drug safe when administered orally at increasing doses? Researchers will compare the drug with placebo to see if there are more side effects in those receiving the drug. Participants will receive a single or five daily doses of the drug or placebo and will be asked to stay in the clinic for five days following the last dose.

Study details:

This is a two-stage, single-center, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety ofMB-001 in healthy adult participants. The two stages are:. * A single ascending dose (SAD) stage in healthy participants.

* A multiple ascending dose (MAD) stage in healthy participants. Up to 5 cohorts of healthy adult participants will receive a single oral dose of either MB-001 or placebo. Following a review of all safety data available for the current cohort and any preceding cohorts, the Safety Review Committee (SRC) will decide whether to proceed to the next cohort.

The MAD stage in healthy participants will commence once sufficient safety data are available from the SAD stage, after the completion of all SAD cohorts.

Has received treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization or anticipation of need for such a vaccine during the study period.

Has a contraindication to blood sampling or is considered to have insufficient peripheral venous access.

Has donated or lost blood or blood products in volumes of 450 mL or more from 30 days prior to first dose of study drug until the end of study participation.

Has a history of any known relevant allergy/hypersensitivity or intolerance (including allergy or intolerance to the study medication or its excipients, or to other humanized monoclonal antibodies).

Has clinically significant multiple or severe drug allergies, intolerance to topical corticosteroids, or severe post-treatment hypersensitivity reactions (including, but not limited to, erythema multiforme major, linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and exfoliative dermatitis).

Has a sensitivity to heparin or history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Has a clinically significant infection requiring the use of oral or intravenous anti-infective therapy within 30 days prior to screening.

Has abnormal blood pressure, as determined by the Investigator, at screening or Day -1.

Has a clinically significant medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would preclude participation in the study.

Has a positive urine drug screen (including methamphetamine, opiates, cocaine, tetrahydrocannabinol, phencyclidine, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, methadone, tricyclic antidepressants, and amphetamine) at screening or Day -1. Repeat analyses will be allowed if the investigator suspects that there might be false positive results.

Has a positive alcohol breath test at screening or Day -1.

Has had prior exposure to MB-001.

Has participated in a study of any investigational drug, device, biologic, or other agent within 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to signing the ICF, whichever is longer.

Has consumed any prescription or over-the-counter medication or herbal/vitamin supplement within 30 days prior to first dose of study drug.

Participation in strenuous exercise within 3 days prior to first dose of study drug.

Has any history of clinically significant endocrine, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hematological, hepatic, immunological, renal, respiratory, genitourinary, or major neurological (including stroke and chronic seizures) abnormalities, diseases, or genetic conditions. Participants with a remote history of uncomplicated medical events (e.g., uncomplicated kidney stones, as defined as spontaneous passage and no recurrence in the last 5 years, or childhood asthma) may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.

Has any clinically significant abnormality identified in the physical examination (including vital signs), laboratory testing, or ECG testing at screening or Day -1. Repeat testing of vital signs to confirm the value is allowed.
