A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of PUR3100 in Health Adults

A Double Dummy, Double-blind Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of PUR3100 in Health Adults

A Double Dummy, Double-blind Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of PUR3100 in Healthy Adults

This is a randomized, parallel group, double-blind, double dummy study.

Following screening and confirmation of eligibility, twenty-four healthy subjects will be evenly randomized to 1 of the 4 dose groups of 6 subjects each. Subjects will receive intravenous (IV) dihydroergotamine (D.H.E) or IV placebo and dry powder inhalation of 0.5mg of PUR3100, 1.0 mg of PUR 3100, 1.5 mg of PUR 3100, or placebo.

All potential subjects will complete screening between 28 days and 2 days prior to study unit check-in on Day -1. Subjects will remain in the study unit for 3 days post check-in and will be dosed each day at the study site.

A follow up visit will occur 4 days after the last dose of study drug, on Day 7 of the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subjects aged 18 to 55 years of age with a body mass index ≥17 and ≤35 kg/m2.

2. Subject has normal screening and baseline blood pressure, defined as a systolic value ≥90 mmHg and ≤140 mmHg and a diastolic value >60 mmHg and <90 mmHg.

3. Female subjects who are of childbearing potential and male subjects with female partner(s) of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective contraceptive throughout the study (e.g., oral contraceptives or Norplant®; a reliable double barrier method of birth control [diaphragms with contraceptive jelly; cervical caps with contraceptive jelly; condoms with contraceptive foam]; intrauterine devices; partner with vasectomy; or abstinence) and for at least 90 days after study drug administration. In addition, female subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to dosing. Note: Women of non-childbearing potential may be enrolled if they are:

   1. Surgically sterile (e.g., hysterectomy with or without oophorectomy; fallopian tube ligation; endometrial ablation), for at least 30 days prior to signing the ICF
   2. Post-menopausal (≥ 12 consecutive months of spontaneous amenorrhea and > 50 years of age)

4. Female subjects must agree not to donate ova/oocytes during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of IMP.

5. Male subject must agree not to donate semen during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of IMP.

6. Subject is able and willing to abstain from alcohol for 48 hours prior to admission to the study unit and throughout the entire study until completion of the Day 7 follow up visit.

7. Subject is willing to participate in the study, comply with the study requirements, and voluntarily provide written informed consent.

8. Subject can read, write, and speak English.

9. Subject is mentally competent to provide informed consent.

10. Subject can perform technically acceptable spirometry at screening.

11. Subject can demonstrate the correct inhalation technique for use of the delivery device and to generate sufficient peak inspiratory flow (PIF) of at least 40 L/min using the In-Check DIAL device at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has a history of proven or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary vasospasm (including Prinzmetal's angina), peripheral vascular disease, or other ischemic diseases (e.g., ischemic bowel syndrome or Raynaud's syndrome) or cardiac disorder (e.g., any clinically significant dysrhythmia), any history of heart attack or stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, liver or kidney disease, aortic aneurysm, chronic pulmonary disease, or recent (within 3 months) sepsis or vascular surgery.

3. Subject has clinically significant abnormal laboratory values at screening that, in the opinion of the investigator would make the subject inappropriate for the study or put the subject at undue risk, specifically liver function tests (LFTs) >1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); hemoglobin <10 gm/dL; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <2.0 x 109/L; white blood cells (WBC) ˃11 x 109/L; platelets <100,000 or >500,000; international normalization ratio (INR) >1.3.
4. Subject has a QTcF of >450 msec in males or >470 msec in females at screening.

11. Subject has a known sensitivity to the study drug or any of the excipients of the formulation, or history of clinically significant sensitivity to any agent that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation in the study inadvisable.
12. Subject has donated blood or blood products or had substantial loss of blood (more than 500 mL) within 6 weeks prior to screening.
13. Subject has participated in an interventional study involving an experimental therapeutic agent within 3 months of screening.
