phase 1 study of olx-07010 in healthy adult and elderly participants

Conditions: Alzheimer Disease

Summary: this first-in-human (fih) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the tau self-association inhibitor, olx-07010 in single ascending doses (sad) and multiple ascending doses (mad) in healthy adults (18-50 of age inclusive), and single dose in healthy elderly (51-75 of age inclusive). the effects of dosing with or without food in healthy adults will also be studied (optional).

this fih phase 1 randomized, double-blind, four-part study will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pk of the tau self-association inhibitor, olx-07010 in single ascending doses, multiple ascending doses in healthy adult participants, and as a single dose in healthy elderly participants. there is an option for an additional part to evaluate the effects of food (fed and fasted) on olx-07010 in healthy adult participants. this study will be divided into 4 parts: part 1-randomized double-blind single ascending dose in healthy adult participants; part 2-randomized double-blind multiple ascending dose in healthy adults participants; part 3-randomized double-blind single dose in healthy elderly participants; and part 4 (optional)-food effect (single cohort, 2 sequence, 2 period crossover fed and fasted) in healthy adult participants.
