Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a two-period, two-arm crossover study where the enrolled subjects will receive orally a dose of 4 g of N-Acetyl-D-Mannosamine Monohydrate (ManNAc) in fasted and fed conditions. Consented and eligible subjects will check-in at the clinical unit on Day -1 (i.e. one day before dosing) to start 10 hours of overnight fasting under direct supervision of the site study personnel

The intervention will be as follows:

Fasted Arm: up to 8 female and male subjects will receive orally one dose of 4 g of ManNAc in 200 mL of water for irrigation following 10 hours of fasting (i.e. no food or fluid intake by mouth apart from water which is permitted up to 1 hr before dosing). The subjects will be in the clinical facility while they fast for 10 hours under close supervision of the site personnel to ensure protocol compliance. The dose will be administered under direct supervision of the study personnel and the container dispensed with the study drug will be visually inspected to ensure the total dose is administered.

Fed Arm: up to 8 female and male subjects will receive orally one dose of 4 g of ManNAc in 200 mL of water for irrigation 30 minutes after consuming a high-fat content meal. The high-fat meal will consist of 2 eggs fried in butter, two strips of bacon, two slices of toast with butter, approximately 110 grams of hash brown potatoes and 240 mL of whole milk. The dose will be administered under direct supervision of the study personnel and the container dispensed with the study drug will be visually inspected to ensure the total dose is administered.

After a washout period of 7 days subjects will subsequently receive a dose of 4 g of ManNAc in the opposite arm of the study.

Summary
Brief summary
Background:
Patients with GNE myopathy have muscle weakness and can have difficulty walking . The disease comes from a gene mutation related to the production of a sugar called sialic acid. Researchers think decreased sialic acid may cause the muscle problems. Researchers are testing the drug ManNAc which is a building block of sialic acid. It is a powder that is dissolved in water.

Study Rationale:
Because ManNAc is a simple monosaccharide, there is a possibility that its absorption can be impacted by co-ingestion with other foods. There is, therefore, a need to better understand any potential effects of food on the absorption of ManNAc by comparing the administration of 4 g of ManNAc under fed or fasted conditions.
