PharmacoKinetics studies
• BioEQuivalence (BEQ), Bioavailability (BDR) & others (e.g., PKM)...
• Drug-Drug INTeractions (INT), C14 Metabolism (BEX)
• POPulation (POP), PharmacoKinetics studies (e.g., hepatic and renal impairment, elderly)
Specificities:
• Dose escalation meetings with safety & PK data
• Investigational medicinal product bulk (non subject specific) packaging
One cohort: 8 participants per dose cohort: 6 participants receiving active treatment and 2 participants receiving
placebo. Each dose level cohort in SAD part will be divided into 2 subgroups:
• The first subgroup (the “sentinel group”) will include 2 participants (1 receiving placebo and 1 receiving active
treatment) who will be dosed on the first day. For sentinel dosing, no restrictions for inter-participant dosing
time are defined (as one participant will receive placebo and the other active drug).
• The second subgroup (remaining participants: 6 in total) will be dosed on the following days after a safety
window internal of at least e.g., 48-96 hours later (depending on the product half-life) with inter-participant
dosing spaced at least 10 minutes apart.
