Purpose

FT-4202 is an oral small-molecule agonist of pyruvate kinase red blood cell isozyme (PKR) being developed for the treatment of hemolytic anemias. This initial study will characterize the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of a single ascending dose and multiple ascending doses of FT-4202 in the context of Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers and sickle cell disease patients. The effects of food on the absorption of FT-4202 will also be evaluated in healthy volunteers.

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Single ascending dose cohorts in healthy subjects
Healthy volunteer subject cohorts randomized 6:2 receiving a single dose of FT-4202 or placebo. The first cohort will receive 200 mg of FT-4202 or placebo. Dose escalation will occur if FT-4202 or placebo is tolerated. The maximum dose of FT-4202 or placebo will be 1500 mg.
  • Drug: FT-4202/Placebo
    Healthy volunteer subjects will receive FT-4202/placebo and monitored for side effects while undergoing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies
Experimental
Multiple ascending dose cohorts in healthy subjects
Healthy volunteer subject cohorts randomized 9:3 to receive FT-4202 or placebo for 14 days continuous dosing. The first cohort will receive 100 mg of FT-4202 or placebo daily X 14 days. The maximum dose of FT-4202/placebo will be 600 mg FT-4202/placebo daily for 14 days.
  • Drug: FT-4202/Placebo
    Healthy volunteer subjects will receive FT-4202/placebo and monitored for side effects while undergoing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies
Experimental
Food Effect Cohort in healthy subjects
Health Volunteer subject cohort of 10 subjects who will receive a single dose of FT-4202 with food and without food. Dose will be administered per the protocol defined dose.
  • Drug: FT-4202
    Healthy volunteer subjects will receive FT-4202 with or without food and undergo pharmacokinetic studies
Experimental
Single ascending dose cohorts in SCD subjects
Sickle cell disease subject cohort randomized 6:2 receiving a single dose of FT-4202 or placebo. The dose of FT-4202/placebo administered will be a dose that was found to be safe in healthy subjects.
  • Drug: FT-4202/Placebo
    SCD subjects will receive FT-4202/placebo and monitored for side effects while undergoing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies
Experimental
Multiple ascending dose cohorts in SCD subjects
Sickle cell disease subject cohorts randomized 9:3 to receive FT-4202 or placebo for 14 days continuous dosing. The dose of FT-4202/placebo administered will be a dose less than the maximum tolerable dose evaluated in MAD healthy volunteers.
  • Drug: FT-4202/Placebo
    SCD subjects will receive FT-4202/placebo and monitored for side effects while undergoing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies
Experimental
12-week dosing cohort in SCD subjects
Sickle cell disease subjects cohort to receive up to 84 consecutive daily doses of open-label FT-4202. The dose of FT-4202 administered will not exceed the highest dose evaluated in the MAD SCD subject cohorts
  • Drug: FT-4202
    SCD subjects will receive FT-4202 and monitored for side effects while undergoing pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies

Detailed Description

This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 study of FT-4202 that will characterize the safety, PK and PD of FT-4202 after a single dose and after repeated dosing first in healthy adult volunteers and then in adolescents or adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). Initially, a dose range of FT-4202 in single ascending dose (SAD) escalation cohorts will be explored in healthy subjects. Enrollment of healthy subjects into 2-week multiple ascending dose (MAD) escalation cohorts will be initiated once the safety and PK from at least two SAD cohorts is available to inform the doses for the 2-week MAD portion of the study. The MAD cohorts will then run in parallel to the single dose cohorts. A single dose cohort of healthy subjects is planned to understand food effects (FE) on the PK of FT-4202. After the SAD and FE studies in healthy subjects are completed, the safety, PK, and PD of a single dose of FT-4202 that was found to be safe in healthy subjects will then be evaluated in SCD subjects. Multiple dose studies in SCD subjects will then be initiated upon completion of MAD studies in healthy volunteers.
