Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, Mavodelpar (REN001), to treat three rare genetic diseases that cause muscles to not function properly. This healthy volunteer study is trying to identify how the test medicine is taken up, broken down and removed from the body. It is also looking to assess the safety and tolerability of the test medicine.

Who can participate?
Healthy male volunteers aged 30 to 65 years

What does the study involve?
The study consists of one period where six volunteers in one cohort receive a single 100 mg dose of [14C] REN001 oral solution in the fasted state (on an empty stomach) on Day 1. Volunteers’ blood, urine and faeces are taken throughout the study for analysis of the test medicine and its breakdown products and of volunteer safety. Volunteers remain in the clinical unit for 14 days, however, if the relevant radioactivity criteria have not been met, volunteers may be required to remain at the clinic for a total of 16 days. If relevant criteria have not been met at this point, home collections of urine and/or faeces may be required. Volunteers are expected to be involved in this study for approximately 6 weeks, from screening to discharge.

What are the possible risks and benefits of participating?
As participants are healthy volunteers, they will get no medical benefit from taking part in this study. However, the development of a treatment for the three rare genetic diseases that cause muscles to not function properly may benefit the population as a whole. It is considered that the risk/benefit evaluation in this study supports the use of healthy volunteers. Full information on possible side effects is provided to volunteers in the Participant Information Sheet and Informed Consent Form. Volunteers are closely monitored during the study and safety assessments are performed regularly.

Scientific titleAn open-label, single-dose study designed to assess the mass balance recovery, metabolite profile and identification of [14C]-REN001 in healthy male subjects
Study objectivesThe study is not hypothesis testing. The trial will meet the following primary and secondary objectives:

Primary objectives:
1. To determine the mass balance recovery after a single oral dose of [14C]-REN001

Secondary objectives:
1. To determine the routes and rates of elimination of [14C]-REN001
2. To perform metabolite profiling and structural identification from plasma, urine and faecal samples
3. To determine the pharmacokinetics of REN001, M351, M527 and total radioactivity in plasma
4. To evaluate the extent of distribution of total radioactivity into blood cells
5. To provide additional safety and tolerability information for REN001
Ethics approval(s)1. Approved 13/06/2022, Fast-Track REC (Now transferred to London - Chelsea REC) (Health Research Authority, 2 Redman Place, Stratford, London, E20 1JQ, United Kingdom; N/A; fasttrack.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 22/FT/0065
2. Approved 13/06/2022, MHRA (10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London, E14 4PU, UK; +44 (0)20 3080 6000; info@mhra.gov.uk), ref: CTA 49733/0005/001-000
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPrimary mitochondrial myopathy (rare genetic diseases that cause muscles to not function properly)
InterventionParticipants receive one 100 mg oral dose of [14C]-REN001 oral solution in the fasted state
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)Pharmacokinetic, Mass balance, metabolite identification, safety and tolerability study
PhasePhase I
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Mavodelpar (REN001)
Primary outcome measureMass balance recovery of total radioactivity in all excreta (urine and faeces): CumAe and Cum%Ae measured using liquid scintillation counting. This is assessed between Day 1 and Day 13, or later if the radioactivity criteria were not met (including additional collections in the clinical unit and/or home collections).
Secondary outcome measures1. Ae, %Ae, CumAe and Cum%Ae for total radioactivity in all excreta (urine and faeces) by interval measured using liquid scintillation counting. These are assessed between Day 1 and Day 13, or later if the radioactivity criteria were not met (including additional collections in the clinical unit and/or home collections).
2. Identification of the chemical structure of each metabolite accounting for ≥10% of circulating total radioactivity (plasma) or accounting for ≥10% of the dose in urine and faeces by liquid chromatography-radio-detection with subsequent high-resolution mass spectrometry where appropriate. This is assessed between Day 1 and Day 13, or later if the radioactivity criteria were not met (including additional collections in the clinical unit and/or home collections).
3. Tlag, Tmax, Cmax, AUC(0-last), AUC(0-inf), lambda-z, T1/2, CL/F (apparent clearance), Vz/F (apparent volume of distribution), metabolite to parent ratios (based on Cmax and AUC), as applicable are measured using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. These are assessed between Day 1 and Day 13, or later if the radioactivity criteria were not met (including additional collections in the clinical unit and/or home collections).
4. Evaluation of whole blood:plasma concentration ratios for total radioactivity for corresponding time points measured using liquid scintillation. This is assessed between Day 1 and Day 13, or later if the radioactivity criteria were not met (including additional collections in the clinical unit and/or home collections).
5. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) collected by often asking volunteers how they are feeling and change from baseline for vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, and laboratory safety parameters assessed by standard Phase 1 unit monitoring. These are assessed at screening and throughout the trial.
