a first in human study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics effects of oc514

Conditions: Cancer Cachexia

Summary: oncocross is developing oc514, a drug-drug combination product containing 2 active pharmaceutical ingredients for cancer cachexia. this study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple oral doses of oc514 in healthy adult volunteers.

this is a single-center study in which a total of 24 subjects will be enrolled into 1 of 3 dose level cohorts in an ascending fashion. each cohort will consist of 8 subjects randomized to receive oc514 or matching placebo at a ratio of 3:1. eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical research unit (cru) from day -1 to 5 and again from day 15 to day 17 and will be discharged upon completion of post-dose assessment. the subjects will attend the cru for outpatients visits on day 8 and day 12. the subjects will return for a follow-up visit on day 19 and end of study visit on day 21. the total study duration is up to 9 weeks consisting of up to 6 weeks of screening, 2 weeks of blinded treatment, and 1 week of safety follow-up. safety oversight will be provided by a safety review committee (src).
