Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - SPR994
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo Oral Tablet
Treatment: Drugs - Orapenem®

Experimental: SPR994, FI, F2, F3, F4 Oral Tablets - SPR994 is active against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens that cause serious and life-threatening infections, including extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producers as well as strains resistant to levofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. SPR994 is administered in tablet form orally. Up to five different time released formulations of SPR994 will be studied in this protocol at 100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg and 900 mg dosages.

SAD Cohorts: One dose (two for food effect cohort) MAD Cohorts: Twenty-seven (27) doses administered twice daily (BID) over a period of 14 days or forty doses administered three times daily (TID) over period of 14 days

Placebo comparator: Placebo Oral Tablet - Placebo tablets (100, 300, and 600 mg) are pressed from a single placebo blend consisting of the same inactive ingredients; the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is replaced by Mannitol 200SD.

SAD Cohorts: One dose (two for food effect cohort) MAD Cohorts: Twenty-seven (27) doses administered BID over a period of 14 days or forty doses administered TID over a period of 14 days

Other: Optional Orapenem Open-Label Control - A single, optional, open-label, control cohort that may enroll, in which all 8 subjects receive Orapenem.

SAD Cohort: One dose under fasted conditions and one dose under fed conditions.


Treatment: Drugs: SPR994
SAD: Double-blind dosing will occur in all SAD Cohorts except for Cohort 12. In each cohort, six subjects will receive one of five different timed release formulations of SPR994 and 2 subjects will receive placebo. Subjects in SAD Cohorts 2, 3, 6, 16 and 17 will receive a single dose following a 10-h fast. Subjects in SAD Cohorts 1, 8-15 will receive one dose of SPR994 or placebo following a 10-h fast on Day 1 and a second dose following consumption of a standardized meal on Day 7. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data of each cohort.

MAD: Double-blind dosing will occur in all MAD Cohorts. Subjects will receive multiple doses of an optimal timed release formulation of SPR994 in MAD Cohort 4 (300 mg) and Cohort 5 (600 mg) or placebo for 14 consecutive days at either BID or TID dosing beginning on Day 1.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo Oral Tablet
Mannitol 200SD SAD: Two subjects in each cohort will receive matching placebo. MAD: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo.

* If male, a willingness not to donate sperm and if engaging in sexual intercourse with a female partner who could become pregnant, a willingness to use a condom in addition to having the female partner use a highly effective method of birth control (such as an intrauterine device, diaphragm, oral contraceptives, injectable progesterone, subdermal implants, or a tubal ligation). This criterion applies to males (and/or female partners) who are surgically sterile and must be followed from the time of first study drug administration until 30 days after the final administration of study drug.

* History of known or suspected Clostridium difficile infection;
* History of seizure disorders, except for a single febrile seizure in childhood;
* Positive urine drug/alcohol testing at screening or Day -1;
* Positive testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibodies (HCV);

* Use of any prescription medication or any over-the-counter medication, including herbal products and vitamins within 7 days prior to randomization;
* Documented hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis to any medication;
* Donation of blood or plasma within 30 days prior to randomization, or loss of whole blood of more than 500 mL within 30 days prior to randomization, or receipt of a blood transfusion within 1 year of study enrollment;
* Participation in another investigational clinical trial within 30 days prior to Day 1;
* Any other condition or prior therapy, which, in the opinion of the PI, would make the volunteer unsuitable for this study, including unable to cooperate fully with the requirements of the study protocol or likely to be non-compliant with any study requirements.
