First-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending doses clinical study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of cipargamin administered intravenously in healthy adults.

ABSTRACT: This first-in-human study assessed safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of cipargamin (intravenous) in healthy adults. It included part 1, single ascending dose [SAD: 10.5 mg-210 mg; n = 8 (active: 6, placebo: 2)], and part 2, multiple ascending dose [MAD: 60 and 120 mg daily for 5 days; n = 9 (active: 6, placebo: 3)]. Last dose follow-ups were on days 3, 4, and 6 for SAD and 7, 8, and 10 for MAD. Safety and PK review was done at completion of each cohort. We explored the cipargamin use for clinical development in patients with severe malaria. In SAD part, systemic exposure (maximum measured concentration and area under the curve) increased with increasing dose (10.5 mg-210 mg) following single intravenous dose. Cipargamin was eliminated with a mean T_1/
