Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 324493 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of AT-301 administered via nasal instillation to healthy volunteers. These will be assessed through:
1. Change from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters (serum chemistry, haematology,
coagulation, urinalysis by blood and urine laboratory tests
2. Change from baseline in vital signs parameters through blood pressure, heart rate, temperature measurements.
3. Change from baseline in 12-Lead ECGs by ECG machine
4. Change from baseline in physical examination by examination by doctor
5. Change from baseline in oxygen saturation by oximeter
6. Adverse event reporting including relatedness to study drug and intensity of the event. These will be assessed by study staff in person visits and by telephone as well as recorded in patient diaries.
7. Macroscopic nasal examinations by clinical examination

Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria

aminotransferase [ALT], and gamma-glutamyl transferase [GGT]) and total bilirubin < 1.5 x
fold above the upper limit of normal at the screening visit. Elevated total bilirubin
allowable if an isolated finding
10. Positive testing for active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface
antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies, at the screening visit

administration
14. Any other condition or prior therapy, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would
make the volunteer unsuitable for this study, including unable to cooperate fully with the
requirements of the study protocol or likely to be non-compliant with any study
requirements

Summary
Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending dose, multi-cohort study. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: a single ascending dose (SAD) part (Part 1) followed by a multiple ascending dose (MAD) part (Part 2).

Part 1 consists of two single-dose cohorts receiving either active therapy, AT-301B, or the placebo comparator AT-301A. Part 2 is a multiple dose arm with cohorts receiving either AT-301A or AT-301B for 14 days.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of AT-301 administered via nasal instillation to healthy volunteers
