About this trial

MKC-NI-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of nintedanib inhalation powder (MNKD-201) in healthy adult volunteers. The trial consists of a Single Ascending Dose (SAD), followed by a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) with a primary objective to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MNKD-201 compared to placebo in healthy adult participants.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Is ≥40 and ≤65 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form.

Has a negative urine test for selected drugs of abuse and negative alcohol test at screening and upon admission to the CRU on Day -1. Note: Participants should not consume poppy seeds within 24 hours before urine drug screening because this can falsify the results of the opiate urine drug test.

Is willing to adhere to the restrictions and requirements specified in the protocol.

Has a negative severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test (i.e., the virus that causes COVID-19) on Day -1.

Disqualifiers

Has a history of significant lung disease (e.g., pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, COPD, emphysema, chronic pulmonary infection, recent upper or lower respiratory tract infection in the prior 8 weeks, history of lung surgery or procedure, etc.)

Has endocrine, thyroid, or respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, GI disease, or history of any psychotic mental illness.

Has a history of hepatic disease or has abnormal liver function tests (i.e., aspartate aminotransferase [AST] > 1.5 × upper limit of normal [ULN] or alanine aminotransferase [ALT] > 1.5 × ULN) at screening.

Has renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), as calculated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), at screening.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • (Part A) MKND-201

    Drug

    Participants will receive single ascending doses (Target Dose, High Dose, and Very High Dose) of MKND-201 or placebo administered via oral inhalation on Day 1

    Drug

    Participants will receive matching placebo across Part A and Part B of the study.

  • (Part B) MKND-201

    Drug

    Participants will receive multiple ascending doses (Target Dose and High Dose) of MKND-201 or placebo administered via oral inhalation, twice daily, from Day 1 to Day 7
