Safety Study of SLV213 for the Treatment of COVID-19.
Purpose
This Phase 1 double blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple ascending doses (MAD) of SLV213 in healthy male and female participants, 18-65 years of age. This study will help to select the most likely suitable dose (e.g., at Maximum Tolerated Dose [MTD]) for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 in a pivotal study. This phase 1 double blind, placebo-controlled study will consist of three sequential cohorts of 12 participants each (8 SLV213 and 4 placebo), at doses of 400 mg every 12 hours (Q12h), 600 mg Q12h, and 800 mg Q12h administered orally (PO) for 7 days. After each cohort, a Safety Review Committee (SRC) will evaluate the safety of the regimen before proceeding to dose the next cohort. Randomization will occur into the respective cohorts as above. Upon meeting the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria, subjects will begin treatment with SLV213 or placebo per their assigned cohort. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of SLV213 for 7 days in healthy participants.

Note 2: True abstinence is 100% of the time without sexual intercourse (the male's penis enters the female's vagina). Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception). Note 3: Acceptable forms of primary contraception include a monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner who has been vasectomized for 180 days or more before the participant receiving the study product, tubal ligation, non-hormonal, intrauterine device, (and if in a monogamous relationship with a male partner who uses a barrier method without spermicide) Note 4: Specified periods include at least 30 days prior to screening, during the period between screening and completion of dosing, and until at least 30 days following receipt of the last dose of study product. 7.

Detailed Description
This Phase 1 double blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple ascending doses (MAD) of SLV213 in healthy male and female participants, 18-65 years of age. This study will help to select the most likely suitable dose (e.g., at Maximum Tolerated Dose [MTD]) for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 in a pivotal study. This phase 1 double blind, placebo-controlled study will consist of three sequential cohorts of 12 participants each (8 SLV213 and 4 placebo), at doses of 400 mg every 12 hours (Q12h), 600 mg Q12h, and 800 mg Q12h administered orally (PO) for 7 days. After each cohort, a Safety Review Committee (SRC) will evaluate the safety of the regimen before proceeding to dose the next cohort. Randomization will occur into the respective cohorts as above. Upon meeting the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria, subjects will begin treatment with SLV213 or placebo per their assigned cohort. Participants will take their study drug in the fasted state prior to morning and evening meals and will remain as in-patient in the clinical trial unit (CTU) during all treatments and for approximately 48 hours (h) after the last dose for monitoring. After discharge from the CTU, participants will be monitored by CTU staff by telephone to assess for new adverse events and use of concomitant medication since the last visit or contact, approximately weekly for three weeks. Participants will be asked to return to the CTU for further assessment of moderate or severe adverse events (AEs) use of concomitant medications (ConMeds) since the last visit or contact, approximately weekly for three weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of SLV213 for 7 days in healthy participants. The secondary objective is to characterize the multiple dose PK of SLV213 in healthy participants.
