Phase1 Study of GR121167, Single and Multiple Dose Study in Healthy Japanese Males

This study is a randomized, double-blind, ascending dose, placebo-controlled, incomplete crossover, single and multiple dose study in healthy Japanese male subjects to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability of single and multiple intravenous administration of GR121167. Serial blood samples and pooled urine samples for the determination of GR121167 concentration will be collected and safety assessments will be performed for each treatment period.

The pharmacokinetics and dose proportionality of GR121167 after single intravenous administration of GR121167 at the dose levels of 100 mg, 300 mg and 600 mg will be assessed. In addition, in the final treatment period (600 mg), twice daily intravenous administrations for 5 days will be also conducted and the pharmacokinetics and accumulation will be assessed.


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy as defined as being free from clinically significant illness or disease as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, vital sign, laboratory tests and ECG.
2. Japanese healthy male between 20 and 55 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
3. Body weight \>= 50.0 kg and BMI within the range 18.5\<= - \<25.0 kg/m2 (inclusive).
4. A creatinine clearance \>= 80ml/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault equation:CLcr (mL/min) = (140 - age) \* Wt / (72 \* Scr). Where age is in years, weight (wt) is in kg, and serum creatinine (Scr) is in units of mg/dl. \[Cockcroft, 1976\]
5. Non-smoker or ex-smoker having ceased smoking for at least 6 months.
6. AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin =\< ULN at screening.

5. The subject planned to concurrently participate in another clinical study or post-marketing study.
6. Use of prescription or non-prescription drugs, including vitamins, herbal and dietary supplements (including St John's Wort) within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication.
7. History of sensitivity to any of the study medications, or components thereof or a history of drug or other allergy excluding pollen allergy without current symptoms.

9. Unwillingness or inability to follow the procedures outlined in the protocol.
10. Consumption of red wine, grapefruit or grapefruit juice from 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
11. Single QTcB \>= 450 msec; at screening
12. Subjects with ECG results considered clinically significant by the investigator.
13. Subjects with a personal history of cardiac disease, symptomatic or asymptomatic arrhythmias, syncopal episodes or additional risk factors for torsades de pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia).
14. Subjects with a family history of sudden cardiac death.
15. Subjects with a supine systolic blood pressure \<90mmHg or \>140mmHg and/or a supine diastolic blood pressure \<55mmHg or \>90mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure drop from supine to standing of \>30mmHg.
16. History of renal failure or renal dysfunction
