  • Research summary

    The Sponsor is developing the test medicine, Fenebrutinib, for the potential treatment of Multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance, and affects approximately 2.3 million people worldwide.

    There are medical procedure available that may involve piercing or cutting into the body or inserting instruments (invasive treatments) that target a type of white blood cells called B-cells have been shown to be an effective treatment of MS, however, the Sponsor is developing a medicine that can be taken orally (by mouth) which would provide a less invasive therapeutic option for patients with MS.

    This 3-part healthy volunteer trial will try to identify how new recipes (formulations) of the test medicine are taken up by the body (pharmacokinetics), the level of test medicine in the blood following oral dosing (relative bioavailability) and try to provide additional safety and tolerability information for the test medicine.

    This study will take place at 1 non-NHS site, enrolling up to 46 male volunteers and female volunteers of non-childbearing potential, aged between 18 and 60.

    In Part 1 and Part 2, up to 15 volunteers will receive single oral doses of different recipes of the test medicine across 3 periods.

    Part 3 is optional, and if utilized, up to 16 volunteers will receive single doses of different recipes of the test medicine across 2 periods.

    In each part, volunteers will be discharged on Day 3 of the final period and will receive a follow up phone call 7 – 10 days post final dose.

    Volunteer’s blood and urine will be taken throughout the study for analysis of the test medicine and for their safety.

    Volunteers are expected to be involved in this study for 7 weeks for Part 1 and Part 2, and 6 weeks for Part 3, from screening to the follow up call.
