Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims:
DSP-2230 is a new drug that has shown promising results in reducing the feeling of pain in animal models. The main aim of the study is to assess the safety of the drug in humans and how well the drug is tolerated when given as single increasing doses to healthy male and female volunteers. In addition, the drug levels in the body and how fast the drug and its breakdown products get into and out of the blood system will also be investigated.

Who can participate?
Healthy men and women aged 18 to 55 years

What does the study involve?
The study involves 3 parts but volunteers only choose to participate in one part. Volunteers will attend a screening visit which will take place up to 21 days before the main study starts. They will have a full medical examination. They will have blood and urine tests which involve taking blood samples. If volunteers decide to take part in the main part of the trial, they will attend the Unit on several occasions as follows:
Part 1: 4 times, one of which will involve staying in the centre for 4 continuous nights.
Part 2: 3 times, one of which will involve staying in the centre for 4 continuous nights.
Part 3: 4 times, one of which will involve staying in the centre for 17 continuous nights.
During this time you will receive study drug or placebo and have blood and urine samples taken. You will also have your vital signs measured and be asked to perform a set of cognitive function tests.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Volunteers will not receive any direct medical benefit from participating in this study, but a potential benefit could be the detection of an unsuspected medical condition from tests performed. Volunteers may feel discomfort during some of the tests or experience some inconveniences. Drawing blood from your arm may cause pain, bruising, light headedness and (rarely) infection. Since DSP-2230 is an investigational drug there may be some unexpected side effects.

Scientific titleA phase I, three part study, in healthy subjects to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of DSP-2230, and the effect of the administration in the fed and fasted states on the pharmacokinetics of DSP-2230.
Study objectivesThree stages:
1. To assess the safety, tolerability and PK of single ascending doses of DSP-2230
2. To assess the effect of the administration of DSP-2230 in the fed and fasted states on the PK of DSP-2230
3. To assess the safety, tolerability and PK of multiple ascending doses of DSP-2230 after 14 days of dosing
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPeripheral neuropathic pain
InterventionPart 1: A single dose of DSP-2230 or placebo will be orally administered in the fasted state. Dose for the first cohort of Part 1 will not exceed 3mg
Part 2: DSP-2230 will be orally administered.
Part 3: DSP-2230 or placebo will be orally administered in the fed state for up to 14 days.
