Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - AER-901 Solution for Nebulization
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: AER-901 Solution for Nebulization - The inhalation formulation AER-901 for Part A and Part B (Cohort B1 only) is a sterile, yellow solution composed of imatinib mesylate and sterile water for injection. AER-901 will be supplied in 2 solution strengths (5 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL) for nebulisation.

The AER-901 inhalation formulation for Part D is a sterile yellow solution composed of imatinib mesylate, sterile water for injection and propylene glycol. AER-901 will be supplied in 2 solution strengths (5 mg/mL and 40 mg/mL) and the Pharmacy Manual will provide guidance on preparation for nebulization. Following review of the Part D safety and PK data by the SRC, the SRC will recommend which formulation and dose of AER-901 (sterile water vs propylene glycol) will be used in Parts B (Cohorts B2 and B3) and Part C.

The solution will be filled into a suitable container-closure system and delivered via a nebuliser known as the FOX® MOBILE. The water acts as the medium for nebulisation.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - A volume-matching placebo (0.45% sterile saline for injection) is to be delivered via the FOX® MOBILE device.


Treatment: Drugs: AER-901 Solution for Nebulization
Part A: participants will be enrolled into 1 of up to 5 sequential cohorts (A1 to A5). Inhaled AER-901 doses of 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80mg are planned.

Part B: participants will be enrolled into 1 of up to 3 cohorts (B1 to B3).

Cohorts B2 and B3 will commence following Part D of the study and following SRC review of safety, tolerability, and PK data. A decision to dose with either a propylene glycol formulation or a sterile water formulation will be made by the SRC at the time of the review of the Part D data.

Part D has a three-part design (Treatment Periods 1 \& 2 separated by a Washout period) and will compare placebo to a single-dose of AER-901 (5 mg/mL QD) followed by two doses of AER-901.

Each cohort will consist of 8 participants (6 receiving AER 901 and 2 receiving placebo).
