A Phase 1a/1b Study of PPI-383 in Healthy Adults and Hepatitis C Patients
Hepatitis C, Chronic
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hepatitis C, Chronic focused on measuring NS5B polymerase inhibitor, Phase 1, Genotype 1
Eligibility Criteria
Part I volunteers (single and multiple dose) - key inclusion criteria
- Healthy males
- Age 18 to 55 years
- Body mass index (BMI)18 to 32 kg/m2
Part II patients- key inclusion criteria
- Males, or females of non-childbearing potential
- Age 18 to 65 years
- Chronic hepatitis C, and absence of other known liver disease
- Seropositive for HCV antibody (HCV Ab) or HCV RNA at least once previously
- Seropositive for HCV Ab at screening
- Serum HCV RNA > 5 log10 IU/mL at screening
- HCV gt-1
- Treatment-naïve for hepatitis C:
- BMI 18 to 35 kg/m2
- Otherwise in good health, without severe or clinically significant chronic or recurrent conditions requiring frequent medical intervention or continual pharmacologic management, except for anti-hypertensive use
- No medical or psychosocial conditions that would potentially interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the study assessments or visit schedule.
Part II patients - key exclusion criteria
- Seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody or hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg)
- Signs or symptoms of decompensated liver disease
- Evidence of cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma
- Diabetes Mellitus treated with insulin or hypoglycemic agents
- Asthma requiring hospital admission within the preceding 12 months
- History of alcohol abuse or illicit drug use which could interfere with a patient's compliance with the protocol requirements
Any of the following laboratory values at screening
- Haemoglobin (Hgb) <11 g/dL in women or 12 g/dL in men
- White blood cell count <4,000/mm3
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1800 per mm3
- Platelet count <100,000 per mm3
- Serum creatinine > upper limit of normal (ULN) at the central study laboratory
- Serum albumin <3.4 g/dL
- Total bilirubin >2.0 mg/dL
- Clinically significant abnormality in the electrocardiograms (ECGs) at screening

PPI-383 single dose escalation in healthy volunteers

PPI-383 multiple dose escalation in HCV Subjects
There will be up to 10 sequential single dose cohorts to assess the bioavailability of different doses and formulations; a food effect cohort will be included.
Upon completion of the single dose cohorts, an additional cohort will receive the highest well-tolerated dose from the single dose cohorts or placebo once daily for five days; up to additional cohorts may receive multiple doses of different formulations or different regimens
Upon completion of the single and multiple dose healthy volunteer cohorts, there will be 3, and potentially 4, sequential cohorts of HCV patients
