Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - SPR741
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: SPR741 - SPR741 is a novel chemical entity known as a potentiator that specifically interacts with the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria to increase the membrane's permeability. This increase in permeability allows Gram-positive antibiotics to enter and kill the cell.
SAD cohorts: Subjects will receive single doses of SPR741 over 60 minute IV infusion. Planned doses to be studied are 5, 15, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg.
MAD cohorts: Subjects will receive SPR741 over 60 minute IV infusion three times a day (TID). Four dose groups will be studied. Doses will be determined by assessing SAD cohort data.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - The placebo used during this study is normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride for injection).
SAD: Subjects will receive single infusions of placebo (0.9% sodium chloride for injection) over 60 minutes.
MAD: Subjects will receive TID infusions of placebo over 60 minutes for 14 days


Treatment: Drugs: SPR741
SAD: Double-blind dosing will occur in cohorts 1 through 8. Six participants will receive single doses of SPR741. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort.
MAD: The Safety Management Group will evaluate the safety and tolerability data obtained for the participants in Cohorts 1-5 to determine the appropriate dose level of intravenous q8h dosing of SPR741 to be utilized in the first cohort (Cohort 9) in the MAD. Dosing will commence on the morning of Day 1. Three doses will be administered per day at approximately 8 hours apart. Daily dosing will continue for a total of 14 consecutive days.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
0.9% sodium chloride for injection. SAD: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo. MAD: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Healthy adult males and/or females (of non-child bearing potential), 18 to 55 years of
age (inclusive) at the time of screening;

2. BMI = 18.5 and = 29.9 (kg/m2) and weight between 62.5 and 100.0 kg (inclusive) for
Cohort 1 only and 55.0 and 100.0 kg (inclusive) for all other cohorts;

3. Medically healthy without clinically significant abnormalities at the screening visit
or Day -1, including:

1. Physical examination, vital signs. Vital signs include temperature, heart rate,
respiratory rate, and blood pressure;

2. Triplicate ECGs without QTcF interval duration greater than 450 msec obtained as
an average from the triplicate screening and pre-dose Day 1 ECGs after at least 5
min in a fully supine quiet rest;

3. Hemoglobin/hematocrit, white blood cell (WBC) count, and platelet count greater
than the lower limit of normal range of the reference laboratory;

4. Creatinine, BUN, ALT and AST equal to or less than the upper limit of normal for
the reference laboratory; results of all other clinical chemistry and urine
analytes without any clinically significant abnormality.

Discussion between the PI and the SMR is encouraged regarding any abnormal laboratory
value that is outside of the normal range during the pre-dose period.

4. Be non-smokers (including tobacco, e-cigarettes or marijuana) for at least 1 month
prior to participation in the study;

5. Willing and able to provide written informed consent;

6. Be willing and able to comply with all study assessments and adhere to the protocol
schedule;

7. Have suitable venous access for drug administration and blood sampling;

8. If female, be of non-childbearing potential (e.g. post-menopausal as demonstrated by
FSH or surgical sterilization i.e., tubal ligation or hysterectomy). Provision of
documentation is not required for female sterilization, verbal confirmation is
adequate; • If male, a willingness not to donate sperm and if engaging in sexual
intercourse with a female partner who could become pregnant, a willingness to use a
condom in addition to having the female partner use a highly effective method of birth
control (such as an intrauterine device, diaphragm, oral contraceptives, injectable
progesterone, subdermal implants, or a tubal ligation). This criterion applies to
males (and/or female partners) who are surgically sterile and must be followed from
the time of first study drug administration until 30 days after the final
administration of study drug.
Minimum age

Can healthy volunteers participate?

disease, including any acute illness or surgery within the past three months
determined by the PI to be clinically relevant;

2. History of known or suspected Clostridium difficile infection;

3. Positive urine drug/alcohol testing at screening or check-in (Day -1);

4. Positive testing for HIV, HBsAg or HCV;

5. History of substance abuse or alcohol abuse (defined as greater than 2 standard drinks

requirements of the study protocol or likely to be non-compliant with any study
requirements.
