Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
This study aims to test a new drug, TLC-1180, compared with a placebo at different doses, to find out if it is safe and to understand the way people process the drug. A placebo looks like a drug but has no active ingredient.
Who can participate?
Healthy male and non-pregnant, non-lactating female subjects, 18-55 years of age, inclusive.
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly assigned to receive either TLC-1180 or a placebo as a single dose or multiple doses to determine the safety and the way people process the drug. The total maximum study duration for participants is about 53 days.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants are not expected to receive any direct benefits from the study, but the information that is learned may help other people in the future. TLC-1180 has not yet been tested in humans. This is the first trial of TLC-1180 in humans. For this reason, the side effects of this drug are not known at this time.

| Scientific title | A phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple ascending doses of TLC-1180 in healthy subjects and an open-label assessment of the relative bioavailability of, and effect of food on, a tablet formulation of TLC-1180 |
| Study objectives | The primary objectives are to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TLC-1180 in healthy subjects. The exploratory objective is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of TLC-1180 in healthy subjects. |
| Ethics approval(s) |
Approved 10/10/2025, Northern A Health and Disability Ethics Committee (HDEC) (Ministry of Health, PO Box 5013, Wellington, 6140, New Zealand; +64 4 819 6877; hdecs@health.govt.nz), ref: 2025 FULL 23746 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Healthy volunteers |
| Intervention | The study will proceed in four parts (Parts A-D), where Parts A-C are randomized, blinded (sponsor-unblinded), placebo-controlled, and Part D is open-label. Part A will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of escalating single oral doses of TLC-1180 or matching placebo over 5 cohorts (within each cohort, 8 subjects will be randomized 3:1 to receive either blinded TLC-1180 or placebo-to-match [PTM]). To maximize subject safety, in single-ascending dose (SAD) cohorts in Part A, two sentinel subjects (one randomized to TLC-1180 and one to PTM) will be dosed, and safety and tolerability data will be evaluated before dosing of the remaining subjects in each cohort. Within SAD cohorts in Part A and C, initiation of single-dose administration at escalating dose levels will be based on recommendations by the Safety Review Committee (SRC), where the SRC will evaluate cumulative safety data, and relevant and available PK and/or PD data, following single-dose administration of the previous dosing cohort. Part B will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of escalating multiple doses of TLC-1180 or matching placebo over 5 cohorts (within each cohort, 10 subjects will be randomized 4:1 to receive either blinded TLC-1180 or PTM) for 14 days. The dose for the first multiple-ascending dose (MAD) cohort will be selected such that predicted steady-state exposure (Cmax and AUCtau) will not exceed single dose exposures (Cmax and AUCinf) observed in the highest dose Part A SAD cohort considered safe and well tolerated based on evaluation of cumulative safety, tolerability, and any relevant and available PK and/or PD data from all subjects enrolled in prior relevant SAD cohort(s). For the remaining Part B cohorts, dose selection and initiation of additional Part B MAD cohorts will be based on recommendation by the SRC, where the SRC will evaluate cumulative safety, tolerability, and any relevant and available PK and/or PD data from all subjects enrolled in prior MAD cohort(s), as well as all subjects enrolled in prior SAD cohort(s) which evaluated doses with associated exposure (Cmax and AUCinf) equal to or greater than expected (Cmax and AUCtau) at the proposed Part B MAD cohort dose. Additionally, any dose selected for evaluation in Part B will not exceed a 3-fold increase in dose or expected exposure relative to the highest dose previously evaluated. Part C of the study is designed to be adaptive, based on initial data from Parts A and/or B, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of TLC-1180, with adaptive dose selection, administered as a single dose or multiple doses over 14 days. The SRC will oversee dose selection and escalation decisions. Part D includes a single cohort (open-label, single-sequence design with 8 subjects) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of a single dose of TLC-1180 in a tablet formulation under fasted, then fed conditions. The results of this study will be used to refine dosing strategies for future studies. |
