leucettinib-21 first-in-human phase 1 in healthy volunteers and subjects with down syndrome and alzheimer's disease

Conditions: Healthy Volunteers; Down Syndrome; Alzheimer's Disease

Summary: leucettinib-21 first-in-human phase 1 study in 4 parts: single (part 1) and multiple (part 3) ascending doses, and food-effect (part 2) in healthy subjects, and single dose (part 4) in people with down syndrome (ds) and alzheimer's disease (ad). for parts 1, 3 and 4, safety and tolerability of an oral administration of leucettinib-21 will be assessed as primary objectives. pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic biomarkers will be investigated as secondary objectives. for part 2, the effect of high fat meal will be evaluated on the pharmacokinetics parameters after an oral administration of leucettinib-21.
