Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - BW-20829 or placebo(sodium chloride injection, 0.9% w/v)
5 cohort doses:
8 subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive a single dose of BW-20829 (n=6) or placebo (n=2) on Day 1 in a double-blind fashion. Cohorts 1 to 5 will receive BW-20829 doses of 15, 50, 150, 300, and 600mg, or placebo respectively.
Dose escalation will be based on the SRC’s assessment. For each cohort, all data (safety, tolerability, and trailing plasma PK and PD data) for a minimum of 6 evaluable subjects through to Day 8, as well as cumulative data from evaluable subjects across previous cohorts, will be reviewed by the SRC prior to dose escalation.
Participant will be admitted to the Phase 1 Clinical Trial Facility on Day -1 to take a 24-hour confinement and single dose of study drug will be administered by site staff on Day 1 to ensure adherence to the intervention. Individual patient records of subjects will be reviewed by monitor for intervention adherence.
The duration of administration: single dose
BW-20829 or placebo will be subcutaneously administered by registered nurse at Phase 1 clinical trial site.
The used and/or partially used vials can be disposed of per local practice. If the used and/or partially used vials cannot be disposed of at site, they will be returned, along with the unused vials, to the sponsor or its agent after receipt of written authorization from Sponsor.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Unblinded pharmacy personnel at site assigns treatment to an eligible participant according to the randomization number and randomization schedule. Blinded site staff assign a randomization number to an eligible participant in a sequential order.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table created by computer software (i.e. computerised sequence generation).
