Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a MTD study to assess safety and tolerance and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of M8.
There are 5 dosing cohorts (2.4g (6 capsules), 4.8g (12 capsules), 7.2g (18 capsules), 9.6g (24 capsules), 12g (30 capsules), orally, single dose). Each cohort consists of 8 subjects who will be randomized to receive active (N=6) or placebo (N=2). Each subject will receive only one dose, starting with the initial dose of 2.4g (6 capsules).
If less than two subjects who have taken M8 experience a DLT or other safety related issue in a cohort, the next dose-escalation cohort will be enrolled after overall safety evaluation. Overall safety evaluation will be performed by the Safety Review Team (SRT), including investigators and Medical Monitor from the CRO and Sponsor, based on physical examination, ECG and laboratory assessments, including hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis and coagulation tests.
If the previous dose was not well tolerated, after reviewing the safety data, and discussions between the Investigators, Medical Monitors from CRO and Sponsor, the same dose level may be repeated. If this dose level is well tolerated, the study will continue to the next higher dose. If this dose level is not well tolerated again, the MTD is defined at the prior lower dose level and the dose escalation will be stopped.

Other design features
Eligible subjects will be sequentially enrolled into 5 dosing cohorts. Each cohort consists of 8 subjects who will be randomized to receive active (N=6) or placebo (N=2). The study will start with the lowest dose level given to the first cohort of eight subjects. After satisfactory review of the available safety and toleration data, the next dose level will be processed if the previous dose was well tolerated. Not more than one dose group is allowed to be administered at one time.

Summary
Brief summary
The study is a single-center, double-blind, dose-escalation, single-dose design to assess safety and tolerance of M8 and to identify a dose range for phase II study and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of M8. M8 is expected to be indicated for the treatment of unstable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease (CHD), carotid atherosclerosis, and ischemic stroke sequelae.
Forty (40) healthy subjects will be randomized with 5 dose level, 8 subjects per dose level (cohort). Eligible subjects will be sequentially enrolled into 5 dosing cohorts (2.4g (6 capsules), 4.8g (12 capsules), 7.2g (18 capsules), 9.6g (24 capsules), 12g (30 capsules), orally, single dose). The study will start with the lowest dose level given to the first cohort of eight subjects. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the unit on Day -1 and conduct all qualification assessments. Subjects will be allowed to leave the unit after all the 48 h assessments have been completed on Day 3 and will return for follow-up assessments on Day 5.
After satisfactory review of the available safety and toleration data, the next dose level will be processed if the previous dose was well tolerated. If the previous dose was not well tolerated, after reviewing the safety data, and discussions between the Investigators, Medical Monitors from CRO and Sponsor, the same dose level may be repeated. If this dose level is well tolerated, the study will continue to the next higher dose. If this dose level is not well tolerated again, the MTD is defined at the prior lower dose level and the dose escalation will be stopped.
Descriptive statistics will be performed for safety data (AE/SAE, 12-lead ECG, physical examinations, vital signs, and laboratory tests). The current version of the MedDRA will be used to code all AEs.
