Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This will be a single center, 2-period, sequence-randomized, crossover, single-dose,
open-label study in 24 healthy participants. Participants will receive a single dose
of PLN 74809 on 2 occasions in randomized sequence, as an 40-mg oral solution and as a 40-mg tablet.
The 2 administrations will be separated by a washout period of approximately 2 weeks.

Intervention is administered directly by staff at a Phase 1 unit. Laboratory test will also be monitored to assess adherence.

Active Control treatment will be the previously studied PLN-74809 in an Oral Solution (control).
Control group

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321894 0
To assess the relative oral bioavailability of a tablet vs. a solution of PLN-74809 in healthy participants.

Single -dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of PLN-74809 will be assessed using plasma blood samples.

Parameters to be examined include: AUC, Cmax, tmax, t 1/2, CL/F, VzF, R cmax, R auc.
Timepoint [1] 321894 0
Blood samples for the assay of PLN-74809 will be collected at up to 19 pre-determined timepoints over the 8 day confinement periods of treatment period 1 and treatment period 2.
Secondary outcome [1] 376609 0
To assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of PLN-74809 in healthy
participants.
Timepoint [1] 376609 0
Safety and tolerability of PLN-74809 assessments will be collected for 28 days (+/-3 days) following the first dose of PLN-74809.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed by physical exam, vital signs, ECG and laboratory testing.

Monitoring for adverse events and concomitant medications will be conducted at frequent intervals when housed in the clinic from the time of the signed consent to the End of Study visit.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Computer generated randomisation schedule will be prepared by a statistician prior to the start of the study. Subjects will receive PLN-74809 on two occasions, in a randomised sequence, once as an oral solution and once as a tablet, in a 1: 1 ratio,

Copies of the randomization sequence and treatment codes will be available to all study personnel as this study is open label.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomization scheme and codes will be generated by a Statistician and provided to the site prior to study commencement.

Summary
Brief summary
Pliant Inc. is developing PLN-74809-000 (hereafter referred to as PLN-74809) for the
treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and for the treatment of primary sclerosing
cholangitis (PSC).

PLN-74809 is expected to exert anti-fibrotic effects through mechanisms that are different from those of current standards of care for the treatment of IPF. IPF remains a clear area of unmet medical need, warranting the development of novel therapies aimed at providing a clinically meaningful improvement for the IPF population.

An oral solution of PLN-74809, which has been used in the clinical studies conducted thus
far, is to be replaced by a newly developed tablet formulation. Accordingly, the current study is designed to determine the relative bioavailability of the tablet vs the solution as a reference in healthy participants.
