Safety and Pharmacokinetics of GEH200486 in Healthy Volunteers

A Phase 1 Single Centre, Single Ascending Dose Safety Study of GEH200486 in Healthy Volunteers

This is a single center, prospective, dose escalation study (4 different dose levels) for a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent, in male and female healthy volunteers . The study is primarily designed to collect safety data. In addition, researchers want to learn more about how the novel contrast agent, GEH200486 circulates and is eliminated from the body (pharmacokinetics) after injection in healthy volunteers. Up to 24 healthy volunteers will be enrolled and will each receive a single administration of one of the 4 doses of GEH200486. Each healthy volunteer will stay at the clinical unit for the first 24 hours post injection and return for up to 3 follow-up visits with 1 additional follow-up phone call.

Dose escalation from one dose group to the next dose group will be sequential and only be allowed if the clinical safety of all healthy volunteers from the tested dose group is acceptable, as assessed by an independent safety committee, members of GEHC team and the principal investigator.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The subject is between 18 to 55 years of age
• The subject has no currently active significant medical illness or history of chronic medical illness.
• The subject has no clinically significant deviation from normal ranges in physical examination, ECG, and clinical laboratory parameters.
• The subject has read, signed, and dated an informed consent form (ICF) prior to any study procedures being performed, and is willing to allow the study Investigator to make the subject's medical records available to GE Healthcare
• The subject is able and willing to comply with all study procedures as described in the protocol.
• Female subjects: The subject is a female who is either surgically sterile (has had a documented bilateral oophorectomy and/or documented hysterectomy), postmenopausal (amenorrhoea duration of at least 12 consecutive months), or non- lactating, or if of childbearing potential the results of a urine human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test, performed at screening and on the day of dosing, prior to administration (with the result known before investigational medicinal product [IMP] administration), must be negative. Women of childbearing potential must use adequate contraception from screening until 30 days after administration of IMP. Such methods include: hormonal contraception including oral contraceptives; intrauterine device; intrauterine hormone-releasing system; bilateral tubal occlusion; vasectomised partner; sexual abstinence.
• Male subjects: The subject is a male who is either surgically sterile or males who are sexually active with a partner of childbearing potential must use adequate contraception from screening until 30 days after administration of IMP. Such methods include: vasectomy; sexual abstinence. Male subjects must agree not to donate sperm from screening through 30 days after administration of IMP

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subjects who are unable to undergo any of the study procedures.
• Subjects with any significant currently active or chronic medical illness (e.g., cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, hepatic dysfunction, Parkinson's disease) or recent significant trauma (e.g., motor vehicle accident) or any condition that may have disrupted and/or increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
• Subjects with any major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrolment or planned within 2 weeks after completion of the study.
• Subjects who have a positive urine screen for alcohol and/or recreational drugs at screening or before dosing.
• Subjects who are taking prescribed medication (other than contraception) within 2 weeks prior to enrolment or anticipate using prescribed medication (other than oral contraception) during the enrolment period through study follow-up. Limited use of non- prescription medications which in the Investigator's opinion will not affect subject safety or the overall results of the study may be permitted (e.g., acetaminophen/paracetamol) on a case-by-case basis following approval by the Sponsor.
• Subjects who have undergone a contrast-enhanced (CE) imaging procedure (CE-MRI, CE computed tomography [CT]) during the 30 days prior to dosing.
• Subjects who are taking any concomitant medications or dietary supplements that are known to increase blood levels of Mn, Zn, copper (Cu), or iron (Fe) for the duration of the study.
• Subjects who have serious allergic history or known or suspected allergy to the study drug GEH200486 0.5 M Injection or study drug ingredients.
• Subjects who present with any clinically active, serious, life-threatening disease, medical or psychiatric condition, known abuse or misuse of prescription or non-prescription drugs and subjects whom the Investigator judges to be unsuitable for participation in the study for any reason.
• Subjects with previous (within 30 days before administration of IMP or within 5 half-lives of the investigational treatment of the previous study, whichever is longer) or concomitant participation in another clinical study with IMP(s).
