Single Ascending Dose and Multiple Ascending Dose Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MDI-2517 in Healthy Participants

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Ascending Single and Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MDI-2517 in Healthy Participants

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug MDI2517 is safe and to learn more about its drug effects in healthy participants. Healthy participants will take single or multiple doses of drug and the safety and drug levels will be measured.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug MDI2517 is safe and to learn more about its drug effects in healthy participants. Healthy participants will take single or multiple doses of drug and the safety and drug levels will be measured. Healthy participants will be monitored for adverse events, laboratory test changes, changes in vital signs, electrocardiogram and the plasma drug levels will be measured. The amount of the drug and its metabolites in urine and blood will be measured. Blood and urine will be used to evaluate the effects of MDI-2517.

4. Participants who are generally healthy as determined by medical evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cardiac monitoring.
5. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Female participants should be of nonchildbearing potential (postmenopausal i.e., spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to dosing with confirmatory follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] > 40 mIU/mL, or premenopausal and surgically sterilized), or of childbearing potential who agree to take highly effective contraceptive measures throughout the trial (see Section 11.15 for highly effective contraceptive guidance). Sexually active female participants of childbearing potential with non-sterile male partners, and sexually active non-surgically sterile male participants with female partners of childbearing potential will be required to use highly effective double contraceptive method. Women of childbearing potential and those with less than 24 weeks from menopause must undergo a urine pregnancy test at screening and result must be negative.
6. Ability to refrain from consumption of Seville oranges, grapefruit or grapefruit juice, pomelos, exotic citrus fruits, grapefruit hybrids, or fruit juices from 7 days before participants check into the clinical site until collection of the final PK sample for each participant.
7. Ability to abstain from ingesting caffeine- or xanthine-containing products (eg, coffee, black/green tea, cola drinks, and chocolate) or energy drinks for 48 hours before participants check into the clinical site until after collection of the final PK and/or PD sample.
8. Ability to abstain from alcohol for 24 hours before admission to the clinical site until after collection of the final PK and/or PD sample.
9. Ability to swallow multiple tablets within a 10 minute window.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Major medical illness or unstable medical condition within 6 months of screening that in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study procedures and abide by study restrictions, or with the ability to interpret safety data that would prevent completion of study procedures or assessments.

2. Any clinically significant abnormal finding at Screening during the physical examination or a clinically significant history of neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, hematological, immunological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and metabolic disease.

3. Chronic or ongoing active infectious disease requiring systemic treatment including, but not limited to, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection with bronchiectasis, and tuberculosis.

4. Any acute infections within 14 days of screening.

5. Live attenuated vaccines received within 1 month of screening. Other vaccines, including coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine, within 14 days prior to Screening.

6. Participants known or suspected of not being able to comply with this study protocol (eg, due to alcoholism, drug dependency or psychological disorder)

7. Laboratory values as follows:

   2. AST or ALT; > the upper limit of normal (ULN)
   3. Total bilirubin > 1.5 times ULN (isolated bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin is < 35%)
   4. Platelet counts < 150 × 109/L or > 450 × 109/L
   5. Hemoglobin outside of normal limits
   6. Coagulation tests (prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time) outside of normal limits

9. Screening estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using 2021 CKD-EPI method <90 mL/min/1.73m2

10. Positive serology test results for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen and antibody at screening. Positive evaluation for COVID-19 infection.

11. History of significant allergic reactions (eg, anaphylactic reaction, hypersensitivity, angioedema) to any drug.
