Intervention/exposure

Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a single centre, double-blind, randomised, vehicle-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GDD3898 Topical Gel 1.75% following twice daily application (approximately 12 hours apart) for 14 days in healthy volunteers.

The study will be enrolled in 2 cohorts:
Cohort 1 will comprise of 8 subjects randomised to GDD3898 or vehicle gel. The study drug will be applied to the subject's anterior and posterior sections of one forearm (540 cm2) for 14 days. Following the application, subjects will be instructed to avoid contact with the application site for at least 1 hour after application. Serial blood pharmacokinetic samples will be collected. A follow-up telephone contact will be completed 7 days after the last application of the study drug.

A review of safety and PK data for Cohort 1 will be conducted before Cohort 2 is enrolled.

Cohort 2 will comprise of 8 subjects randomised to GDD3898 or vehicle gel. The study drug will be applied to the subject's anterior and posterior sections of one forearm and upper arm (1260 cm2) for 14 days. Following the application, subjects will be instructed to avoid contact with the application site for at least 1 hour after application. Serial blood pharmacokinetic samples will be collected. A follow-up telephone contact will be completed 7 days after the last application of the study drug.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 326098 0
To assess the safety of GDD3898 Topical Gel in healthy volunteers. Safety assessments include vital signs, physical examination, safety laboratory testing, ECG, and opthalmological assessments.

Ophthalmological assessments include visual acuity, eyelid examination, corneal staining, tear break-up time, and dry eye assessment.
Timepoint [1] 326098 0
Vitals signs will be collected at screening and daily from Admission (Day -1) to Discharge (Day 16)

Physical examinations will be collected at Screening, Admission, and Discharge.

Blood samples for safety laboratory testing will be collected at Screening, Admission, Day 14, and Discharge.

ECGs and ophthalmological assessments will be collected at Screening, Admission, and Discharge.
Primary outcome [2] 326664 0
To assess the tolerability of GDD3898 Topical Gel in healthy volunteers by local skin tolerability assessments by assessing the application site for local skin irritation.
Timepoint [2] 326664 0
The application site will be assessed for local skin irritation on Days 1, 7, and 14.
Secondary outcome [1] 390122 0
To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of GDD3898 Topical Gel and its major metabolite GDD3990. PK analysis will be performed for Cmax, AUClast, AUCinf, tmax, t½, AUC0-t, AUC0-24, and AUC.
Timepoint [1] 390122 0
Blood samples for PK analysis will be collected at:
Day 1, 7, and 14: Predose, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours after the morning application
Day 2, 7, 15: 12 hrs after previous evening's application

Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
Subjects with the following characteristics will be excluded from the study:
1. Females who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning to become pregnant
2. History of skin disease or presence of skin condition and prior skin treatment on the arms such as laser hair removal that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the study assessments.
3. Presence of scars, birthmarks, tattoos, or excessive hair at the application site(s) that would impede the assessment of local tolerability assessments
4. History of or positive results for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV
5. History of cancer or lymphoproliferative disease within 5 years prior to Day 1
6. Major surgery within 8 weeks prior to Day 1 or has a major surgery planned during the study

8. Current use of nicotine-containing products within 3 months of first application of study drug, or positive urine cotinine test
9. Blood donation within 60 days prior to dosing or plasma donation within 14 days of dosing
10. Worn contact lens within 10 days prior to screening and prior to the first dose of study drug throughout the period of dose application and until the last PK blood draw is collected
11. Corneal or eyelid surgery, such as eyelid repair, reconstruction, and/or lifts, corneal transplantation, LASIK, photorefractive keratectomy, and/or radial keratotomy surgery and/or has a history or presence of dry eye
12. Pyrexia, cough, malaise or any other symptoms or signs consistent with SARS- CoV2 viral infection at any time within 14 days prior to screening

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
A computerised randomisation list will be created by an unblinded statistician or designee. Subjects will be randomised to receive GDD3898 Topical Gel or vehicle in a ratio of 3 to 1 respectively.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomisation scheme and codes will be generated by an unblinded statistician and provided to the site prior to study commencement.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s
The people administering the treatment/s
The people assessing the outcomes
