A safe, carefully dosed test of TBD11 in healthy adults
Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Dose Trial in Healthy Adult Participants to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TBD11 With Up to 84-day Period of Fixed Daily Dosing, With an Evaluation of Drug-Drug Interactions
Run by Gates Medical Research Institute · NCT07883226 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This phase 1 study tests TBD11 in healthy adults to see if it is safe and tolerable and to understand how it behaves in the body, including how it interacts with other medicines.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy adults aged 18 to 55 who meet screening health criteria and can comply with inpatient procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who do not tolerate TBD11 or exhibit safety concerns during screening or dosing may not derive direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 trial in healthy adult volunteers to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TBD11 when given in multiple doses. An open-label cohort will examine drug-drug interactions by giving TBD11 with a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer. The study includes three cohorts: an initial double-blind 14-day dosing period, a parallel open-label drug interaction cohort, and a longer 84-day double-blind dosing period. Interventions include TBD11 at 300 mg, placebo, and, in specific periods, itraconazole and rifampicin to assess interactions. The lead sponsor is Gates Medical Research Institute, with collaboration from IQVIA RDS Inc. and FARMOVS (Pty) Ltd in Bloemfontein.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, TBD11 could advance understanding of its safety profile and how it behaves with other medicines in healthy individuals, guiding future research.
How similar studies have gone: Other early-phase drug interaction studies have used similar designs to characterize safety and pharmacokinetics with and without CYP3A modulators.

Exclusion Criteria: * Current or past clinically significant cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, haematologic, renal, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, or other major disease. * Current or past condition expected to require treatment during the trial with medication known to inhibit or induce CYP3A4. * Clinically relevant cardiovascular disorder or symptoms suggestive of such disorder. * Prior history of TB infection or TB disease. * Current cough lasting more than 2 weeks, fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss. * Close household or repeated living/workspace contact with an individual with active TB in the preceding 12 months. * Active malignancy within 5 years of Screening, except basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers; any history of breast cancer or melanoma is exclusionary. * History of drug abuse within 1 year before Screening or use of specified hard drugs within 1 year before Screening, unless limited to prescribed opioid or amphetamine medication not currently being taken. * Surgical or medical condition that may alter absorption, metabolism, or excretion of trial treatment. * Use of prohibited medications, vitamins, dietary supplements, herbal products, or vaccination within the protocol-defined windows. * Contraindication to trial interventions or excipients, or clinically significant allergic/anaphylactic reaction to any medication. * Participation in another investigational drug, vaccine, or device study within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before Screening and during this trial. * Any condition that may interfere with informed consent, compliance, interpretation of results, or place the participant at undue risk. * Blood donation within 2 months before Screening or planned blood donation during the trial or within 12 weeks after the final visit.
