Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, single dose escalation study. Approximately 48 participants will be enrolled sequentially into six ascending dose cohorts and will be randomised to receive either XG2002 or placebo as an oral capsule on Day 1.

Participants in each cohort will be required to fast for approximately 10 hours overnight prior to dosing on Day 1 with the dose ranging from 10 mg - 800mg of either XG2002 or matching placebo.

Core Body Temperature (CBT) will be measured by an ingested real-time monitoring device.

Dose escalation in each successive dose cohort will proceed in a sequential fashion after all relevant safety and tolerability data from all completed cohorts including the preceding dose cohort(s) have been reviewed by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). If it is not appropriate to escalate the dose level according to the proposed dose escalation schedule or intolerable dose level encountered (i.e., Stopping Criteria met), then an alternative sub-level dose may be given following discussion between the Sponsor and SRC (for example, if 800 mg dose is the intolerable dose, a cohort for 600 mg may be tested).

Adherence to study intervention will be conducted by study staff and recorded in the source document.
Intervention code [1] 327810 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Placebo capsules are the same appearance, size, and capsule weight as those of XG2002 Capsules. The placebo capsules are filled with 100% microcrystalline cellulose with participants randomised to receive either XG2002 or placebo capsules orally on Day 1.
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 337163 0
Composite Primary Outcome: To investigate the safety and tolerability of XG2002 following a single oral administration in healthy participants.
Timepoint [1] 337163 0
TEAEs will be graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 and assessed and recorded continuously as they occur from Day 1 post-dose through to Day 4 Exit Visit or Early Termination (EV/ET).
Core Body Temperature (CBT) will be measured via an ingested real-time monitoring device. CBT will be monitored in real-time for up to 24 hours post-dose with the device capsule being expelled in faeces naturally.
Secondary outcome [1] 430916 0
To evaluate systemic pharmacokinetic (PK) following single oral administration of XG2002 in healthy participants. A sub-intolerable dose level may be tested, for example, if 800 mg dose is the intolerable dose, a cohort for 600 mg may be tested.
Timepoint [1] 430916 0
Blood plasma samples will be collected pre-dose Day 1, 0.5 hr, 1 hr, 1.5 hr, 2 hr, 3 hr, 4 hr, 6 hr, 8 hr, 12 hr , 18 hr and 24 hrs post-dose.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
On Day 1, subjects will be assigned a unique number (randomisation number) in ascending numerical order at the study site. The randomisation number encodes the subject’s assignment to 1 of the 2 treatment arms of the study in that cohort. Access to the randomisation code will be strictly controlled according to the standard operating procedures of the CRO.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomisation schedule will be generated prior to the study by the statistics department of the Contract Research Organization (CRO). Each subject will be dispensed blinded study intervention, that will be labelled with the subject’s unique randomisation number and will be used throughout the study.
