Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a Phase 1, first in human, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study consisting of a total of 24 healthy subjects: 3 cohorts of 8 subjects (6 subjects assigned to pirenzepine: 2 assigned to placebo in each cohort).
Each treatment will be administered topically to the lower extremities (right and left calves [i.e., anterior lower leg/shins] and tops of feet) by study staff using gloved hands.
The names of the 2 formulations that will be used are WinF90 (6.5% pirenzepine) and WinFB34 (4.0% pirenzepine).
Cohort 1 will be administered 6.5% pirenzepine topical solution WinF90 or matching placebo – 5 mL applied once daily for 14 days.
Cohort 2 will be administered 4.0% pirenzepine topical solution WinFB34 or matching placebo – 5 mL applied once daily for 14 days.
Cohort 3 will be administered 4.0% pirenzepine topical solution WinFB34/matching placebo or 6.5% pirenzepine topical solution WinF90/matching placebo – administered for 14 days with dose volume and dose frequency to be determined following review of Cohort 1 and 2 data.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A computer generated randomization schedule will be prepared by an unblinded statistician prior to the start of the study. IP will be prepared in accordance with the randomization schedule.
After signing the informed consent form (ICF), each subject will be given a Screening Number according to the screening order. During the Treatment Period, subjects will be randomized to receive pirenzepine or placebo in a ratio of 3:1 respectively. Subjects will be randomized on Day -1. At the time of randomization, the subject will be assigned a unique Randomization Number, which will be allocated in ascending order from the list of random numbers based on the predetermined randomization schedule, and according to their chronological order of inclusion in the study. Confirmation of the Randomization Number allocated will be documented in the drug accountability records and recorded in the eCRF

Intervention assignment
Other
Other design features
3 cohorts of 8 subjects (6 subjects assigned to pirenzepine: 2 assigned to placebo in each cohort). The first 2 cohorts will be administered different topical formulations of pirenzepine. The topical formulation, dose volume and dosing frequency to be administered in the third cohort will be selected after completion of the first 2 cohorts.
Phase
Phase 1
Type of endpoint/s
Safety
Statistical methods / analysis
Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize plasma pirenzepine and its desmethyl metabolite concentrations and resultant PK parameters across study subjects and treatments. Relative bioavailability will be investigated for the 3 pirenzepine treatments relative to each other. Relative bioavailability will be calculated using AUC and Cmax parameters e.g. AUC test/AUC reference or Cmax test/Cmax reference. The similarity of the AUC and Cmax values will be tested statistically, using the analysis of variance method (ANOVA). Further details will be provided in the SAP.
