Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the study drug, mavodelpar (formerly known as REN001) in two different formulations (existing capsule formulation and new tablet formulation). The main objectives of the study are as follows:
1. To evaluate and compare the bioequivalence (assessment of whether the two formulations can be considered the same in terms of concentration levels in the blood at various timepoints) of mavodelpar when it is administered as an oral tablet versus an oral capsule.
2. To investigate the effect of food on the concentration of mavodelpar in the blood following administration of mavodelpar in both a fasted state (without food) and a fed state (following a high-fat, high-calorie meal).
3. To investigate the concentration of mavodelpar in the blood, how this changes over a period of time and to measure if and how this concentration differs when mavodelpar is administered as an oral tablet versus an oral capsule.
4. To determine the safety and tolerability (the degree to which side effects of the study drug can be tolerated) of mavodelpar when it is administered as a single dose in different forms i.e., as an oral tablet versus an oral capsule and following administration in a fasted state (without food) and fed state (following a high-fat, high-calorie meal).
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the four elements described above when mavodelpar is given as a single dose in two different forms over three treatment periods in the presence and absence of food.

Who can participate?
A total of up to 32 participants are needed to fully complete this study. Participants must be healthy adult males and females aged between 18 and 60 years.

What does the study involve?
Across the three treatment periods, each participant will receive:
1. A single dose of mavodelpar (100 milligrams [mg]) in the form of an oral capsule (2 x 50 mg) following a high-fat, high-calorie meal
2. A single dose of 100 mg mavodelpar in the form of an oral tablet (1 x 100 mg) following a high-fat, high-calorie meal and
3. A single dose of 100 mg mavodelpar in either the form of a capsule or tablet in a fasted state.
Each dose in each treatment period will be separated by a period of at least 10 days. The study will consist of a screening visit (between 35 and 1 day prior to the first dose), three treatment periods (consisting of a maximum of 7 days with 3 overnight stays per treatment period from Day -1 to Day 3 and 3 single day return visits on Days 4-6) and a post-study follow-up visit on Day 6 of treatment period 3.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Taking part in this study is not expected to provide participants with any direct medical benefit. However, the information from this study may help improve the treatment of diseases associated with dysfunction in the process of metabolism and cellular energy production.
Full information on possible side effects/risks are provided to volunteers in the Participant Information Sheet and Informed Consent Form.

Scientific titleA Phase I, randomized, open-label, single-dose, three-period crossover bioequivalence and food effect study with orally administered mavodelpar tablet and capsule formulations in healthy subjects
Study objectivesThe primary objectives of this study are:
1. To assess the single-dose pharmacokinetic bioequivalence of the mavodelpar tablet formulation (100 mg x 1; test), compared to mavodelpar capsule formulation (50 mg x 2; reference), when administered after a high-fat, high-caloric meal to healthy subjects.
2. To assess the effect of a high-fat, high-calorie meal on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the mavodelpar tablet formulation in healthy subjects following a single-dose administration.
3. To assess the effect of a high-fat, high-calorie meal on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the mavodelpar capsule formulation in healthy subjects following a single-dose administration.

The secondary objectives of this study are:
1. To assess the safety and tolerability of mavodelpar administered as a single dose of 100 mg in either capsule or tablet formulation and under fed and fasted states in healthy subjects.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHealthy Volunteers
InterventionThis is a Phase I, open-label, randomized, three-period crossover study in healthy subjects to assess bioequivalence of the mavodelpar tablet formulation (100 mg) vs the mavodelpar capsule formulation (2 x 50 mg) administered in the fed condition. The study will also investigate the effect of a high-fat, high-caloric meal on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of both the tablet formulation and capsule formulation compared to fasting conditions (food effect).

After completing a screening period (Day -35 to Day -1), up to 32 eligible healthy volunteer subjects will be randomized to complete three sequential treatment periods in an order determined by the treatment sequence they are randomized to. Subjects will receive the following in a randomized order over three treatment periods:

1. A single oral dose of 100 mg (50 mg x 2) mavodelpar in capsule formulation following a high-fat, high-caloric meal (n = 32)
2. A single oral dose of 100 mg mavodelpar (100 mg x 1) in tablet formulation following a high-fat, high-caloric meal (n = 32)
3. In a third treatment period, participants will be split randomly across two allocations (16 vs. 16 subjects) as follows:
3.1. A single oral dose of 100 mg (50 mg x 2) mavodelpar in capsule formulation following a period of fasting (n = 16)
3.2. A single oral dose of 100 mg (100 mg x 1) mavodelpar in tablet formulation following a period of fasting (n = 16)

Post Study Follow-Up safety assessments will be performed on the last day (Day 6) of the final treatment period (Treatment Period 3) or, if a subject withdraws, as close to 5 days after their last dose as possible.

The study took place in the Clinical Pharmacology Unit of Simbec-Orion Clinical Pharmacology under medical and nursing supervision. It is expected that the total duration of the study for each subject will be approximately 2–3 months from Screening to last visit.

Screening (Day – 35 to Day -1)
Screening assessments will be performed from Day -35 to Day -1 to ensure the eligibility of subjects.

Treatment Periods 1 - 3 (Day -1 to Day 6)
Subjects will enter the Clinical Pharmacology Unit on Day -1 of each treatment period to complete scheduled assessments. All subjects will be required to fast overnight for a minimum of 10 h before dosing on Day 1. On Day 1 of each treatment period, when scheduled to receive their dose under fasted conditions subjects will take their tablet or capsule (dependent on randomization) with approximately 240 mL (8 oz) of water and remain fasted until at least 4 h after dosing. When scheduled to receive their dose under fed conditions subjects will take their tablet or capsule (dependent on randomization) with approximately 240 mL (8 oz) of water after completely consuming a high-fat, high-caloric meal. Subjects will start consuming the designated meal 30 minutes prior to administration of mavodelpar and subjects must fully consume the meal within 30 minutes of starting.

Subjects will remain in the clinical unit until Day 3 of each treatment period (after completion of the 48-h post-dose assessments) and will then return on Day 4, Day 5, and Day 6 as outpatients to complete the required assessments. In the instance that enrolled subjects have difficulty travelling to the Clinical Pharmacology Unit to complete outpatient visits, they may remain at the Clinical Pharmacology Unit or alternative accommodation (i.e., hotel) may be arranged.
A minimum of 10 days washout will separate doses (i.e., dosing in Treatment Period 2 can occur 10 days after the dose in Treatment Period 1).

Post-Study Follow-Up
A Post-Study Follow-Up visit will be conducted at the last outpatient visit of the final Treatment Period (Day 6 of Treatment Period 3) (or, if a subject withdraws, as close to 5 days after their last dose as possible). If all follow-up assessments are satisfactory to the Principal Investigator (or delegate), the subject will be discharged from the study. If any AEs are ongoing, or any assessments are not satisfactory, subjects may be recalled to the unit for follow-up assessments until the Principal Investigator (or delegate) is satisfied the subject may be discharged from the study. Subjects will be advised to return or contact the Clinical Pharmacology Unit at any time during the study if they feel they may be experiencing any adverse effects.
