Study Description

Brief Summary:

Phase 1, first in human, two-part, single centre, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose trial in healthy younger and elderly adult subjects, with an open-label, randomised, crossover arms to assess the effect of food on bioavailability.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Healthy	Drug: HTL0016878; Drug: Placebo - Concentrate	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

This is a first in human single and multiple ascending dose study with the objective to evaluate safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and food effect of HTL0016878 in healthy younger and elderly subjects. Part 1 will assess single doses of HTL0016878 and Part 2 will assess multiple doses of HTL0016878. Part 1 will be divided into 3 sub-parts: Part 1a will assess single ascending doses (SAD) of HTL0016878 in younger adult subjects, Part 1b will evaluate the effect of food on bioavailability of HTL0016878 and part 1c will investigate the effect of age on the PK of HTL0016878. Part 1c will only proceed after review of safety, tolerability and PK data from part 1a. Part 2 will be divided into 2 sub-parts to assess multiple ascending doses (MAD) of HTL0016878 in younger adult (part 2a) and elderly adult (part 2b) subjects. Part 2 will only proceed after review of safety, tolerability and PK data from Parts 1a, b and c.

Experimental: Part 1b single dose HTL0016878; In Part 1b, a single dose of HTL0016878 will be administered to 6 subjects on two occasions: once in the fasted and once the fed state. This will be open-label. Healthy, young, male or female subjects.	Drug: HTL0016878; Oral solution
Experimental: Part 1c single dose HTL0016878; In Part 1c, a single dose of HTL0016878 will be administered to up to 6 (optional up to 12) healthy elderly subjects This will be open-label. Healthy, elderly, male subjects.	Drug: HTL0016878; Oral solution
Experimental: Part 2a MAD HTL0016878/Placebo; In Part 2a, multiple doses of HTL0016878 will be administered to up to 5 cohorts (N=8, 6 active, 2 placebo) during one study session of 7 days. Healthy, young, male or female subjects.	Drug: HTL0016878; Oral solution; Drug: Placebo - Concentrate; Matching placebo
Experimental: Part 2b MAD HTL0016878/Placebo; In Part 2b, multiple doses of HTL0016878 will be administered to up to 3 cohorts of healthy, elderly subjects (N=8, 6 active, 2 placebo) during one study session of 7 days. Healthy, young, male or female subjects.	Drug: HTL0016878; Oral solution; Drug: Placebo - Concentrate; Matching placebo
