Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
PBT434 is supplied as 50mg and 200 mg immediate release oral capsules. The doses in the SAD phase are: 50 mg, 100 mg, 300 mg, and 600 mg, given as a single dose. Up to two additional dose levels may be evaluated if supported by available toxicology data and approved by the SRT.

Up to four dosage regimens of PBT434 will be evaluated in the MAD portion of the study; 100 mg twice a day (200 mg Total Daily Dose (TDD), 300 mg twice a day (600 mg TDD). Up to two additional dose regimens may be evaluated based on available PK, safety, and toxicological data. The dose in the multiple ascending dose (MAD) phase is given twice daily for Days 1-7, and once daily on Day 8.

Participants do not take part in both the SAD and MAD phases. The phases are independently randomised.

In both the SAD and MAD phases, hand and mouth checks will be performed after each dose to assure that IP has been swallowed by the subject.

Other design features
Single Ascending Dose Phase:
This phase will contain up to 6 dose escalation cohorts, each comprising 8 subjects per cohort randomized in a ratio of 6:2 (PBT434:placebo). Each dose cohort will use a sentinel group of 2 subjects randomized in a ratio of 1:1 (PBT434:placebo). The sentinel group will be dosed 1 day prior to the remaining subjects in each cohort. The preliminary effects of food on the PK of PBT434 will also be evaluated in one of the cohorts (dose level up to 900 mg to be selected by the Safety Review Team), as a fixed-sequence crossover. The preliminary effects of smoking on the PK of PBT434 will also be evaluated in one of the cohorts (dose to be selected by the Safety Review Team),

Multiple Ascending Dose:
There will be up to 4 dose regimens, each comprising 10 subjects per cohort randomized in a ratio of 8:2 (PBT434:placebo). The MAD phase will contain 1 cohort of elderly subjects, comprising 10 subjects randomised in a ratio of 8:2 (PBT434:placebo).

Safety
Statistical methods / analysis
Approximately 106 volunteers (96 healthy young adults, 10 healthy elderly adults) who meet all eligibility criteria will be dosed. The sample size is not based on statistical considerations . The sample sizes chosen are based on clinical and regulatory considerations and precedence for first-in-human studies. The number of subjects proposed is considered sufficient to investigate the initial safety, tolerability and PK profile of PBT434.
