A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of RC010 Inhalation Powder in Healthy Participants

Official title

A Phase Ia Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of RC010 Inhalation Powder in Healthy Chinese Participants

Overview

This is a Phase 1A, first in human, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study of RC010 in healthy adult volunteers. RC010 is a small-molecule drug , being developed as a novel therapeutic treatment for patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of RC010 after Single ascending doses .

Interventions

• Drug RC010 Inhalation Powder
  Participants were randomly assigned to the 0.1, 0.3, 0.75, 1.5 and 2 mg dose groups
• Drug RC010 Inhalation Powder placebo
  Match to RC010 Inhalation Powder dose groups

Primary outcome measures

• The incidence of Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) [Time frame: Day1-Day14]
• The severity of Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
• The incidence of Serious adverse events (SAEs) [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
• The severity of Serious adverse events (SAEs) [Time frame: Day 1- Day 14]
• Number of participants with abnormal clinically significant 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
• Number of participants with abnormal clinically significant clinical laboratory results [Time frame: Day 1- Day 14]
• Number of patients with abnormal clinically significant results from physical examination [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]

Secondary outcome measures (5)

• Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last quantifiable concentration (AUC(0-T)) [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
• AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞) [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
• Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
• Time of maximum observed concentration (Tmax) [Time frame: Day 1 - Day 14]
• Terminal elimination half life(t1/2) [Time frame: Day 1-Day 14]
