Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BGB-23339 in Healthy Japanese and Caucasian Subjects

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of BGB-23339 in Healthy Japanese and Caucasian Subjects

This study is designed to evaluate the influence of ethnic factors on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of BGB-23339 after multiple dosing under fasting condition in healthy Japanese and Caucasian participants.

The study comprises 2 parts: Part A is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of BGB-23339 in healthy Japanese subjects. Part B is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of BGB-23339 in healthy Caucasian subjects.

Inclusion Criteria:

Each subject must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be considered eligible for participation in this study:

1. Signed informed consent form (ICF) and able to comply with study requirements

2. Healthy Japanese or Caucasian men and/or women of no childbearing potential aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 55 years on the day of signing the ICF (or the legal age of consent), and to be specific:

   1. For Part A only: Eligible Japanese subjects should have both biological parents and 4 biological grandparents of Japanese descent, and their 4 biological grandparents must be born in Japan.
   2. For Part B only: Eligible Caucasian subjects should 1) have both biological parents and 4 biological grandparents of Caucasian descent, and 2) be matched by body weight (± 20% body weight [kg]), height (± 15% height [centimeter (cm)]) and sex to each Japanese subject receiving the highest dose level planned in Part A.

3. Subjects are in good general health as determined by the investigator or medically qualified designee, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring
