Brief Summary:

This study is composed of two parts. Part A: will test single doses of ZF874 in a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled and dose-escalating design (except Group 7, which will be open-label and without placebo). Up to 7 groups of 6-8 healthy volunteers will receive an oral dose of ZF874 or matching placebo (6 active: 2 placebo in Groups 1-6; 6 active in Group 7). The dosing of the first 2 subjects (1 active and 1 placebo) will take place before dosing of the remainder of the group in Groups 1-6, with morning doses given in the fasted state. The dose will be escalated only if the safety and tolerability of the previous highest dose are acceptable, and the plasma concentrations of ZF874 are predicted to remain below the toxicokinetic exposure limit, as determined by the Safety Review Group. Group 7 will consist of 6 subjects, all of whom will receive ZF874 after consuming a standard high-fat breakfast. Dosing of the first 2 subjects before the rest of the group is not required in Group 7, as 6 subjects have already safely received ZF874 at this dose in Group 3 and 12 subjects have already safely received higher doses in Groups 4 and 5.

The dose selected for Part A, Group 7 was chosen as the dose has previously been given to subjects fasted in Group 3, and it was safe and well tolerated, allowing for comparison for the food effect, and higher doses have been tested in Part A with no safety concerns.

Part B: Multiple Ascending Doses in subjects carrying at least one Z mutated alpha-1-antitrypsin (Z-A1AT) allele (PiXZ subjects): Up to 4 groups of up to 5 PiXZ subjects will be enrolled in Part B (Groups 1-4). In Group 1, up to 4 subjects will receive twice daily doses of either ZF874 or placebo on 28 consecutive days. The dose level (dose and dose regimen) selected for Part B Group 1 will be based on review of the available results from Part A. In Groups 2-4, up to 5 PiXZ subjects will receive ZF874 twice daily by mouth for 28 days; no subjects will receive placebo. The dose for Groups 2 - 4 will not exceed the doses already given in Part A.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Alpha1 Anti-Trypsin Deficiency Drug: ZF874 Drug: Placebo Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Part A: Enrolment of up to 54 healthy men and women is planned, in up to 7 groups. Each of the first 6 groups will consist of 8 subjects and the 7th group will consist of 6 subjects. Subjects will receive either one or two oral dose(s) of either ZF874 or placebo, in the fasted state in the first 6 groups. There will be up to 7 dose levels of ZF874. In each of the first 6 groups, two subjects (one placebo, one ZF874) are to be dosed in a double-blind manner at least 23 hours prior to the remainder of the group. In the absence of any safety concerns in the leading subjects, the remaining subjects will be dosed, at intervals of at least 10 minutes. Dosing of the first 2 subjects before the rest of the group is not required in Group 7, as 6 subjects have already safely received ZF874 at this dose in Cohort 3, and 12 subjects have already safely received higher doses in Cohorts 4 and 5. In Group 7, all subjects will receive a single dose of ZF874 by mouth, after consuming a high-fat breakfast. All subjects will be screened in the 28 days before their dose of trial medication. Subjects will be resident on ward from 1 day before their dose (Day -1) until 48 hours after dosing (Day 3). They will return for a follow-up visit 5-7 days after their dose (Day 6-8).

Part B: In Group 1, up to 4 subjects will receive twice daily doses of either ZF874 or placebo on 28 consecutive days (up to 3 active: up to 2 placebo). The dose level (dose and dose regimen) selected for Part B Group 1 will be based on review of the available results from Part A.

In Groups 2-4, up to 5 PiXZ subjects will receive ZF874 twice daily by mouth for 28 days; no subjects will receive placebo. The doses will be selected after reviewing the available safety and pharmacokinetic results from previous groups, but will not exceed the doses already given in Part A.

Subjects will be pre-screened to confirm PiXZ genotype within 84 days before their dose of trial medication. Once their genotype is confirmed, they will be screened in the 28 days before their dose of study medication. Subjects will be resident on the ward from 1 day before their first dose (Day -1) until 1 hour after they receive their second dose (Day 2). They will then attend 6 outpatient visits before returning to the ward and be resident from Day 27 until 24 hours after the final dose (Day 29). They will return for further outpatient visits on Days 36, 43 and 50, and for a follow-up visit 28-30 days after their final dose (Day 56-58).
