About this trial

This study is testing CTX001 for certain conditions where the body does not have enough available iron or has difficulty storing or moving iron properly. The purpose of this study is to investigate any side effects that may happen with CTX001, how CTX001 is absorbed by and processed in the body, and how CTX001 affects iron levels in the blood when administered with or without iron and/or food.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CTX001 With and Without Iron

    Drug

    There are two treatment periods. In the first, CTX001 is administered as a single dose (tablet) by itself. In the second, CTX001 is administered as a single dose (tablet) with iron.

  • CTX001 With Iron

    Drug

    There are two treatment periods. In one, CTX001 is administered as a single dose (tablet) with iron (tablet) following a high fat, high calorie meal. In the other, CTX001 is administered as a single dose (tablet) with iron (tablet) under fasting conditions.

  • CTX001 Multiple Dose

    Drug

    CTX001 (tablet) is administered daily for 7 consecutive days.

  • Placebo With and Without Iron

    Drug

    There are two treatment periods. In the first, placebo is administered as a single dose (tablet) by itself. In the second, placebo is administered as a single dose (tablet) with iron.

  • Placebo With Iron

    Drug

    There are two treatment periods. In one, placebo is administered as a single dose (tablet) with iron (tablet) following a high fat, high calorie meal. In the other, placebo is administered as a single dose (tablet) with iron (tablet) under fasting conditions.

  • Placebo Multiple Dose

    Drug

    Placebo (tablet) is administered daily for 7 consecutive days.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE was considered a treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) if the AE started after initial study drug administration and before the last study visit.

Time frame
From first dose of study drug through the last study visit, approximately 15 days.
2

Number of Participants with Serious TEAEs

A serious AE (SAE) is defined as any AE that, at any dose, meets one or more of the following criteria: results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly or birth defect; or any important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

Time frame
From first dose of study drug through the last study visit, approximately 15 days.
3

Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Physical Examination

Abnormalities in physical examinations were based on investigator's discretion.

Time frame
From the first dose of study drug through the last study visit; approximately 15 days.
4

Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Changes in Safety Laboratory Values

Safety laboratory evaluations included blood counts, serum chemistries, coagulation studies, and urinalyses. Determination of clinical significance was based on investigator discretion.

Time frame
From first dose of study drug through last study visit, approximately 15 days.

2

Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of CTX001

Time frame
Pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours after the Day 1 and Day 8 doses (SAD and Food Effect Cohorts) or the Day 1 and Day 7 doses (MAD Cohorts).
3

Area Under the Curve from Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of CTX001

Time frame
Pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours after the Day 1 and Day 8 doses (SAD and Food Effect Cohorts) or the Day 1 and Day 7 doses (MAD Cohorts).
4

Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of CTX001

Time frame
Pre-dose, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours after the Day 1 and Day 8 doses (SAD and Food Effect Cohorts) or the Day 1 and Day 7 doses (MAD Cohorts).
