Study Description

Brief Summary:

A combined Phase Ib and IIa randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of VM-1500 in healthy subjects and in patients with HIV-1 infection that are antiretroviral therapy naïve.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
HIV Infection	Drug: VM-1500/Placebo	Phase 1; Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The study will be split into two parts:

Part I: A randomized, placebo-controlled, single dose, double-blind study in healthy volunteers with 20 mg followed by 40 mg after DSMB approval.

Healthy group: one dose with 1 PK day 12 health volunteers (total): 6 subjects will randomized (4:2) to VM-1500 20 mg or placebo. After DSMB approval, 6 subjects will be randomized (4:2) to VM-1500 40 mg or placebo Part II: A randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple dose, double-blind study for 7 days in patients with HIV infection who are antiretroviral therapy-naïve. After positive DMSB review the dose will be escalated from 20 mg to 40 mg once daily.

Patient group: 2 PK days (in-house) at day 1 and day 7 16 patients (total): 8 subjects will be randomized (7:1) to VM-1500 20 mg or placebo once daily for 7 days. After DSMB approval, 8 subjects will be randomized (7:1) to VM-1500 40 mg or placebo once daily for 7 days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Safety and tolerability of VM-1500 in adult healthy subjects and in patients with early-stage chronic HIV-1 infection based on analysis of AEs, laboratory values. [ Time Frame: about one and half month ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of VM-1500 in healthy subjects (Cmax, AUC, T1/2) and in HIV-1-infected patients. [ Time Frame: about one and half month ]
2. Dose dependency between VM-1500 plasma levels and corresponding HIV RNA reduction with the administered dosages of VM-1500. [ Time Frame: about one and half month ]
3. Virologic activity as measured by plasma HIV RNA following treatment for seven (7) days with VM-1500. [ Time Frame: about one and half month ]
