Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will randomly receive each of the following single-dose treatments over the course of 2 treatment periods with a washout interval between doses of at least 7 days:
• Treatment A: Single 625 mg dose of ONC201 administered as five 125 mg capsules under a fasting condition (nothing but water for at least 10 hours).
• Treatment B: Single 625 mg dose of ONC201 administered as five 125 mg capsules within 10 mins after consumption (in entirety) of a standardized high-fat meal (800-1000 total calories).
All single doses will be administered in the clinic and a mouth check to confirm compliance will occur.
Allocation to sequence of treatment periods will occur based on a randomisation list.
The standardized meal is a high fat content breakfast that has approximately 50% of calories from fat and is a total of approximately 800-1000 calories (fat and non-fat).

Pharmacokinetics
Statistical methods / analysis
PK parameters following single-dose administration will be determined using standard noncompartmental methods and actual sampling times utilizing a PK data analysis program (e.g., Phoenix WinNonlin or equivalent).
Safety will be assessed through AEs, measurement of vital signs, ECGs, neurological assessments, and clinical laboratory test results. All AEs reported and any concomitant medication intake will also be documented.
Plasma ONC201 and ONC207 (metabolite) concentrations will be listed and summarized by treatment and timepoint. Individual and mean plasma concentration-time profiles will be plotted. Plasma ONC201 and ONC207 PK parameters will be listed and summarized by treatment.
The primary endpoints for assessment of bioavailability will be AUC and Cmax of ONC201. If AUCinf is not well estimated, AUClast will be used for assessment of bioavailability. Ninety percent (90%) CIs for the ratio of the geometric means of each of these parameters will be determined using mixed effects models. The CIs will be compared with the bioequivalence limits of 80% to 125% in order to examine the effect of food on the bioavailability of ONC201.

Summary
Brief summary
ONC201 is an investigational drug being developed to treat high grade glioma (a type of brain cancer). “Investigational” means that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved ONC201 as a treatment for this condition. ONC201 is a newly discovered compound that may stop cancer cells from growing. This drug has been shown in laboratory experiments to use a new way to kill brain tumor cells but not normal cells.
The study sponsors need to know how the drug works in healthy adults to compare this with when the drug is taken in cancer patients.
Part B2 will review the effect of food on a single dose of ONC201. Participants will receive 2 doses of ONC201 - with and without a high fat meal. It is envisaged that 30 participants will be recruited in Part B2.
Please see linked studies.
In each treatment period, ONC201 will be administered on Day 1. Participants will be admitted to the clinic on the day prior to dosing, and remain in the clinic until discharged on the morning of Day 3 following completion of all scheduled study procedures and assessments.

Safety will be assessed through the reporting of AEs, vital signs measurements, Neurological and Physical examinations, ECGs and clinical laboratory results.

Please see linked studies, part 1 (ACTRN12621000975897).
