Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Initial Pharmacodynamics of a Subcommissural Organ-Spondin-Derived Peptide: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Single Ascending Dose First-in-Human Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of intravenously administered NX210-a linear peptide derived from subcommissural organ-spondin-and explored the effects on blood/urine biomarkers and cerebral activity.

Methods

Participants in five cohorts (n = 8 each) were randomized to receive a single intravenous dose of NX210 (n = 6 each) (0.4, 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) or placebo (n = 2 each); in total, 10 and 29 participants received placebo and NX210, respectively. Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics within 180 min post dosing. Plasma and urine were collected from participants (cohorts: 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) for biomarker analysis a
