Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Part A
Treatment: Drugs - Part B
Treatment: Drugs - Part C

Active comparator: CDX-7108 - CDX-7108, an oral recombinant lipase. It is a modified version of a triacylglycerol lipase enzyme derived from the bacteria Bacillus thermoamylovans (btLIP) and produced by fermentation of recombinant Escherichia coli.7

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Excipients only


Treatment: Drugs: Part A
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation part to investigate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and PK of CDX-7108 after single oral dose administration in healthy adult subjects.

Single-dose administration of CDX-7108 at the following anticipated dose levels. 10 000, 50 000, 150 000, 250 000, and 500 000 lipase units will be evaluated in 5 sequential cohorts of 6 subjects each.

Treatment: Drugs: Part B
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose escalation parts to investigate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and PK of CDX-7108 after multiple oral dose administration in healthy adult subjects.

It will evaluate multiple dose administration of CDX-7108 at an appropriate low (50 000 lipase units), mid (150 000 lipase units), and high dose (250 000 lipase units) 4 times a day (QID) for 6 consecutive days in 3 sequential cohorts of 6 subjects each.

Treatment: Drugs: Part C
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose, 2-way crossover part to assess POC of CDX-7108 in terms of PD as well as its safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in subjects with EPI.

Approximately 10 subjects with severe EPI from partial/total pancreatectomy or chronic pancreatitis will be enrolled. It is anticipated that Part C (POC study) will commence after completion of the third single-dose cohort from Part A (SAD study) and following SRC review of the data from this cohort.

5. Known active infection with COVID-19, or a suspected infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 [SARS-CoV-2]).
6. Chronic alcoholic intoxication that would preclude compliance with the study procedures.
7. Habitual use of nicotine products or smoking within 3 months (>10 cigarettes per day) prior to Screening, and/or unwilling to refrain from smoking during the confinement period. Nicotine replacement therapy is allowed during the study.
8. Drug addiction that would preclude participation and compliance with study procedures.
9. Subject has a pulse rate <40 or >100 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) >150 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >95 mmHg at Screening. Repeat measurements are allowed at the discretion of the Investigator.
10. Subject has any clinically significant abnormalities at Screening in rhythm, conduction or morphology of the resting ECG and any clinically significant abnormalities in the 12-lead ECG, as considered by the Investigator, that may interfere with the interpretation of QTc interval changes including abnormal ST-T wave morphology.
11. Subject has prolonged QTcF >450 msec for male subjects or >470 msec for female subjects or a family history of prolonged QT syndrome, at Screening.
12. Plasma donation within the 14 days prior to the first dose of IP or any whole blood donation/significant blood loss >500 mL during the 3 months prior to the first dose of IP.

Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies, but excluding untreated, asymptomatic, seasonal allergies and childhood asthma) at time of Screening or IP administration, that in the opinion of the Investigator may put the subject at greater safety risk, influence response to study drug, or interfere with study assessments. NOTE: Subjects with treated diabetes secondary to CP or pancreatectomy are allowed.
21. Subject has any clinically significant abnormalities in hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis at Screening as judged by the Investigator, including AST or ALT >1.5 times above the ULN, or cholesterol or triglycerides >400 mg/dL. Repeat measurements are allowed at the discretion of the Investigator.
22. Current or chronic history of GI disorders or conditions interfering with normal GI anatomy or motility, with the exception of pancreatic insufficiency due to pancreatectomy, including pancreaticoduodenectomy, or CP
23. Use of any prescribed or nonprescribed medication potentially interfering with gastric pH, intestinal motility, or fat absorption, including herbal and dietary supplements and antacids; these medications shall be stopped for a minimum of 5 times their half-life before IP administration if, in the opinion of the Investigator, this does not represent a risk for the subject's wellbeing. EXCEPTIONS:

Histamine H2 receptor antagonists, PPI, insulin, analgesics, and chronic pain medications.

Oral contraceptives, paracetamol, or multivitamins. Subjects who have received approved vaccines (including approved COVID-19 vaccines) may be allowed if these vaccines are taken no less than 72 hours prior to the IP dose at the discretion of the Investigator.
