Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A suspension of FTP-198 in a sugar-free, alcohol-free syrup vehicle (ORA-Sweet SF) will be administered to participants.
Part A: FTP-198 will be administered at the following nominal dose levels in each cohort:
• Cohort 1 - 50 mg
• Cohort 2 - 100 mg
• Cohort 3 - 200 mg
• Cohort 4 - 300 mg
• Cohort 5 - 450 mg
• Cohort 6 - 600 mg
Part B: It is anticipated that FTP-198 at 3 dose levels in the range of 50 to 600 mg will be evaluated in 3 cohorts (Cohorts 7 to 9). The dose levels to be administered will be decided following review of safety and PK data from Part A.

Part A: 1 dose.
Part B: There will be a total of 7 dosing days. Depending on PK data from Part A, each daily dose may be administered once daily or twice daily.

Adherence to the intervention will be monitored via direct supervision of the intake of suspension by the CMAX staff.

Secondary outcome [1] 379261 0
To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of FTP-198 following administration of single and 7 day repeat oral doses in healthy adult volunteers.
The following PK parameters will be determined in Part A (SAD):
• Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax);
• Time of the maximum drug concentration (tmax), obtained without interpolation. If the maximum value occurs at more than 1 timepoint, tmax is defined as the first timepoint with this value;
• Area under the drug concentration-time curve, calculated using linear trapezoidal summation, from time zero to time of the last measurable drug concentration (AUC0–last);
• Apparent elimination rate constant (Lambda-z), calculated by linear regression of the terminal linear portion of the log concentration versus time curve, where Lambda-z = - slope;
• Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0–inf) calculated as AUC0-t + Ct/Lambda-z, where Lambda-z is the apparent terminal elimination rate constant;
• Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours following dose administration (AUC0-24);
• Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to 48 hours following dose administration (AUC0-48);
• Apparent total clearance of the drug from plasma following oral administration (CL/F), calculated as dose/AUC0-inf;
• Apparent terminal elimination half-life (t1/2), calculated as ln(2)/Lambda-z;
• Apparent volume of distribution Vd/F; calculated as (CL)/Lambda-z.

The following PK parameters will be determined in Part B (MAD):
• Day 1: Cmax, tmax, area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to the end of the dosing interval at steady state (AUC0-tau), AUC0–inf, Lambda-z, t1/2, CL/F, Vd/F

Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Enrolment confirmed on Day 1 following pre-dose eligibility checks. Randomisation and allocation of treatment done by sequentially allocating the next randomisation number starting with R01001 through to R01008 to the subjects as the eligibility is confirmed.

The randomisation schedules will be prepared by unblinded statisticians at Avance Clinical and will be maintained under controlled access. A copy of the randomisation schedule will be provided to unblinded site pharmacy staff for the purposes of dispensing the study drugs. Site pharmacy staff will store the randomisation schedule in a secure, restricted access area of the pharmacy. As the study is double-blinded, sealed participant-specific code break envelopes will also be produced by the unblinded statisticians and will be retained at the clinical facility in a secure, accessible location.

Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical analysis sets:
1. Full analysis set (FAS) will include all randomized participants who have received at least one dose of study drug (FTP-198 or placebo) and have at least one post-dose assessment.
2. The Safety Analysis Set will include all participants who receive at least 1 dose of study drug (FTP-198 or placebo) and have at least 1 post dose safety assessment.
3. The PK Analysis Set will include all participants in the Safety Analysis Set who have sufficient plasma concentration data to derive at least 1 PK parameter.
4. QT/QTc Analysis Set will include all participants in the Safety Analysis Set with measurements at baseline as well as on-treatment with at least 1 post dose time point with a valid delta QTcF value. The QT/QTc Analysis Set will be used for the by-time point and categorical analyses.
5. PK/QTc Analysis Set will include all participants who are in both the QT/QTc and PK Analysis Sets with at least 1 pair of post dose PK and QTc data from the same time point. The PK/QTc Analysis Set will be used for the exposure-response analysis.

Sample size consideration:
This study is the first in human study with FTP-198 and as such no formal sample size calculation was performed.

Demographic data:
Demographic data (gender, age, race, ethnicity and BMI) will be summarized for all participants who receive at least 1 dose of study drug using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum) and tabulated by dose group.

Safety/Tolerability Data:
All participants who receive at least 1 dose of the study drug (FTP-198 or placebo) and have at least 1 post dose safety assessment will be included in the safety and tolerability analysis (ie, the Safety Analysis Set). Baseline for analysis of physical examination, vital signs, body weight, 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory data will be defined as the last evaluation done before the first administration of study drug for each participant. For ECG data, if there is more than 1 replicate at the baseline timepoint the mean of those replicates will be used as the baseline value.
Safety evaluations will be based on the incidence, severity and relationship of AEs and changes from baseline in physical examination findings, vital signs, body weight, 12 lead ECGs, and clinical laboratory results.
Abnormalities in clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, and ECGs will be based on predefined normal ranges and will be tabulated by dose group showing participant counts and percentages.

Adverse Event Data:
The verbatim terms used in the eCRF by investigators to identify AEs will be coded using the current version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities by system organ class (SOC) and preferred term, classified from verbatim terms. The number of TEAEs and serious TEAEs as well as the number and percentage of participants with TEAEs and serious TEAEs, will be summarized by SOC and preferred term and tabulated for each dose group. Summaries by severity and relationship will also be presented. The percentage of participants who discontinued treatment due to a TEAE will be summarized and tabulated for each dose group. The duration of AEs will be determined and included in the listings.
Clinical Laboratory Data:
Clinical laboratory data will be summarized by the laboratory parameter. Normal reference ranges and abnormal results will be used in the summary of laboratory data. Observed values and changes from baseline for continuous clinical laboratory parameters will be summarized at each scheduled timepoint using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum) and tabulated for each dose group. Categorical clinical laboratory data will be summarized at each scheduled timepoint using participant counts and percentages and tabulated by dose group. A listing of participants with any laboratory results outside the reference ranges will be provided.
Vital Signs and Body Weight Data:
Observed values and changes from baseline for vital signs and body weight (Part B only)will be summarized at each scheduled time point using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum) and tabulated for each dose group.
Physical Examination Data:
Physical examination outcomes will only be listed.
Safety Electrocardiogram Data:
The following ECG parameters will be analyzed: PQ or PR interval, QT interval, QRS duration, QTcF and HR. For all ECG parameters, baseline will be identified as the mean of the 3 replicates obtained predose on Day 1.
Observed values and changes from baseline will be summarized at each scheduled timepoint using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum) and tabulated for each dose group.
Cardiodynamic Data:
Cardiodynamic ECG assessments will be performed for Part A or Part B of the study, or both parts combined. The decision on which parts to analyze will be made based on observed PK.
Cardiodynamic Data Analysis:
The following ECG parameters will be analyzed: QT interval, QTcF, RR interval, PR interval and QRS duration. For all ECG parameters, baseline will be identified as the mean of the measured parameters from the 3 predose timepoints (60, 45 and 30 min predose) on Day 1.
Triplicate ECGs will be captured at nominal timepoints corresponding to the projected tmax of FTP-198 (based on preclinical PK data). These timepoints may be revised based on emerging PK data during study conduct. All recorded beats that are deemed acceptable in each replicate will be included in the analysis. The Fridericia's correction of the QT interval is defined as: QTcF = QT/RR1/3. The QT interval and RR interval value for each acceptable beat will be used for HR correction.
The median value for QT interval, QTcF and RR interval from each extracted replicate will be calculated, and then the mean of all available medians (minimum 3 medians) from a nominal timepoint will be used as the participant’s reportable value at that timepoint.
For each parameter, absolute values, changes from baseline and placebo-corrected changes from baseline will be summarized at each scheduled timepoint using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum) and tabulated for each dose group.
The analysis for QTcF will be based on a linear mixed-effects model with delta QTcF as the dependent variable, time (categorical), treatment (each dose level of FTP-198 and pooled placebo), and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects, and baseline QTcF as a covariate. Participant will be included as a random effect for the intercept. Participants dosed with placebo will be analyzed as a pooled group. An unstructured covariance matrix will be specified for the repeated measures at postdose timepoints for participants within treatment period. If the model with unstructured covariance matrix fails to converge, other covariance matrix such as autoregressive and compound symmetry or separate analysis of variance models for each timepoint will be considered. From this analysis, the LS mean, and 2-sided 90% CI will be calculated for the contrast “FTP-198 vs placebo” for each dose and each postdose timepoint, separately.
For HR, PR interval, and QRS duration, the analysis will be based on the change-from-baseline postdosing. The same model will be used as described for QTcF. The least squares means, standard error (SE) and 90% confidence interval (CI) from the statistical modelling for both change-from-baseline and placebo-corrected change-from-baseline values will be presented in the tables and graphically displayed.
The results for categorical outliers will be summarized in frequency tables with counts and percentages for both participants and time points. For categorical outliers, the number (percentage) of participants as well as time points with increases in absolute QTcF values > 450, 480, and 500 msec and changes from pre dose baseline of > 30 or > 60 msec; increase in PR interval from pre dose baseline > 25% or to a PR interval > 200 msec; increase in QRS duration from pre dose baseline > 25% or to a QRS duration > 120 msec; decrease in HR from pre dose baseline > 25% or to a HR < 50 bpm; and increase in HR from pre dose baseline > 25% or to a HR > 100 bpm will be determined.
Exposure-Response Analysis:
The relationship between FTP-198 plasma concentration and delta QTcF will be quantified using a linear mixed-effects model with delta QTcF as the dependent variable, plasma concentration of FTP 198 as a continuous covariate (ie. 0 for placebo), centered baseline QTcF as an additional covariate, treatment (active or placebo) and timepoint as categorical factors, and a random intercept and slope per participant. The degrees of freedom for the model estimates will be determined by the Kenward-Roger method. From the model, the slope (ie, the regression parameter for the concentration) and the treatment effect-specific intercept (defined as the difference between active and placebo) will be estimated together with 2-sided 90% CI. The estimates for the time effect will be reported with degrees of freedom and SE.
The geometric mean of the individual Cmax values for FTP-198 plasma concentrations for participants in each of the study dose groups will be determined. In the event the same dose of FTP-198 is repeated in a different cohort, Cmax values obtained from the 2 (or more) cohorts at the same dose will be pooled as one of the FTP-198 dose group. The predicted effect and its 2-sided 90% CI for delta delta QTcF (ie, slope estimate *concentration + treatment effect) at this geometric mean Cmax will be obtained.
The plot of the observed median-quantile FTP-198 concentrations and associated mean delta delta QTcF (90% CI) adjusted for diurnal effects together with the regression line presenting the predicted delta delta QTcF (90% CI) will be used to evaluate the adequacy of the model fit to the assumption of linearity and the impact on quantifying the exposure response. Additional plots may be used to validate the model assumptions.
Exploratory analyses (via graphical displays and/or model fitting) will also include accounting for a delayed effect (hysteresis) and the justification for the choice of PD model.
If a QTc effect (delta delta QTcF) exceeding 10 msec cannot be excluded in the by-timepoint analysis of the 2 highest dose groups, hysteresis, ie, difference in peak QT response and Cmax, will be explored through visual inspection of overlaid FTP-198 plasma concentration and delta delta QTc time curves and through so called hysteresis loops for each dose of FTP-198.
To assess the appropriateness of a linear model, normal QQ-plots for the residuals and plots of weighted residuals vs concentration and vs fitted values will be produced. The scatter plot of residuals vs concentration by Loess (ie, locally weighted scatterplot smoothing) fitting will also be produced with an optimal smoothing parameter selected by the Akaike information criterion with a correction. If there is an indication that a linear model is inappropriate, additional models may be fitted (e.g. an E-max model). The exposure-response analysis will then be repeated for the model found to best accommodate the nonlinearity detected.
Pharmacokinetic Data
All participants in the Safety Analysis Set who have sufficient plasma concentration data to derive at least 1 PK parameter will be included in the PK analysis (ie, the PK Analysis Set).
Reasons for exclusion of a participant or a sample from the analysis include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Vomiting within 6 hours after study drug administration (or within (2 x median tmax) if median tmax > 3 hours);
• Too few data (greater than 10% missing values for a participant);
• Noncompliance with study procedures affecting PK (eg, concomitant medication).
All participants and samples excluded from the analysis will be clearly documented in the clinical study report.
Plasma concentrations of FTP-198 at specified time points pre– and post dose will be used to calculate PK parameters using validated PK software. In all calculations, zero will be substituted for concentrations below the quantification limit of the assay. Participants dosed with placebo will be analyzed as a pooled group.
Individual and mean FTP-198 plasma concentrations at each time point will be tabulated for each dose group and presented graphically with concentration displayed on a linear and logarithmic scale. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined using noncompartmental methods and summarized by dose group using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, coefficient of variation, minimum, maximum and median). In addition, geometric mean will be calculated for all PK parameters. Analyses using linear models will be performed to assess dose proportionality (both single dose and multiple dose), time dependence (multiple dose), accumulation (multiple dose), and attainment of steady state (multiple dose). Dose-normalised PK parameters may also be used to assess dose proportionality.
Pharmacodynamic Data:
All participants in the Safety Analysis Set who have evaluable LPA18:2 concentration data will be included in the PD analysis.
Individual percentage reductions in plasma LPA18:2 concentrations relative to baseline will be determined at each timepoint and summarized by dose group using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, minimum, maximum and median). In addition, geometric mean and SD may be calculated. Participants dosed with placebo will be analyzed as a pooled group. Percentage reduction data will be presented graphically. The maximum percentage reduction from baseline observed (Emax) following dosing on Day 1 (Part A and Part B) and Day 7 (Part B only) will be determined for each dose group and tabulated.

Summary
Brief summary
The research project is testing a potential new treatment for Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), called FTP-198. Before a new medicine can be approved for use in humans, it is necessary to confirm that it is safe and effective. Although laboratory and animal studies have been completed, this is the first time FTP-198 is being tested in humans. Therefore, side effects in human are unknown. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of FTP-198. The pharmacokinetics (PK) of FTP-198 in humans will also be determined. PK testing involves taking blood samples to measure how much of the drug gets into the blood stream, and how long the body takes to remove it or excrete it. When testing for PK, your sample will also be tested to determine the amount of LPA in your blood. This is called a pharmacodynamic (PD) parameter.
