  • Research summary

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the study drug DNDI-0690.
    The main objectives are as follows:
    - To determine the safety and tolerability (degree to which side effects of a drug can be tolerated) of DNDI-0690 when it is administered as multiple doses at different dose strengths over a period of up to 10 days.

    - To investigate the concentration of DNDI-0690 in the blood and urine, how this changes over a period of time and whether there are differences in the concentration profile between different dose strengths.

    - To investigate whether DNDI-0690 has any effect on the function of the heart and kidneys.

    This study will be split into 3 separate parts: Part A, Part B and Part C.

    Part A will evaluate the objectives when DNDI-0690 is given at different dose strengths once or twice a day for 10 days. Part A will enrol 4 groups of 9 participants; each group investigating a different dose strength.

    Part B will evaluate the objectives when DNDI-0690 is given once a day for 5 days at a maximum dose strength of 3600 milligrams (mg). Part B will consist of 1 group of 9 participants investigating a dose strength higher than that which is intended to be given in order to treat the disease. This part is considered optional.

    Part C will evaluate the effect of DNDI-0690 on the function of the kidneys when it is given once a day for a period of 10 days. Part C will consist of 1 group of 9 participants investigating a dose strength considered to be the highest well tolerated dose from doses investigated in Part A.

    The study will be conducted in up to 54 healthy males and females (of non-childbearing potential).
