Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–55 who are medically healthy, with BMI 18.0–32.0 kg/m2, and non-childbearing potential or using contraception for females; ability to comply with facility stay requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals who have significant pre-existing medical conditions, allergies to the study drug or ingredients, or cannot adhere to contraception or follow-up requirements may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of CBT-248 in 32 healthy adults aged 18 to 55. Participants are divided into four groups of eight, with six receiving CBT-248 and two receiving placebo in each group, in a randomized, double-blind design. The study will compare fasting and fed conditions to determine if food changes the drug’s exposure. Dosing occurs after fasting in three groups, with inpatient evaluation around the dosing and follow-up checks.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, CBT-248 could advance understanding of its safety profile and how eating affects drug levels, informing future studies in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
How similar studies have gone: Other first-in-human pharmacokinetic studies with similar designs have shown clear safety and PK profiles in healthy volunteers, but each drug requires its own evaluation.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult males and females, 18 to 55 years of age (inclusive) at Screening. * Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 32.0 kg/m2 (inclusive) at Screening. * Medically healthy (in the opinion of the PI or delegate), as determined by pre-study medical history, and without clinically significant (CS) abnormalities after physical examination. * Female volunteers must be of non-childbearing potential or be willing to avoid pregnancy by using adequate contraception. * Male volunteers must agree not to donate sperm and to use adequate contraception with female partners. Exclusion Criteria: * Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of the study drug ingredients, or history of anaphylaxis or other significant allergy which, in the opinion of the PI (or delegate), would interfere with the volunteer's ability to participate in the study. * Clinically significant infection and/or cardiovascular, haematological, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, endocrine, gastrointestinal, immunological, dermatological, neurological, or psychiatric disease which could interfere with, or the treatment for which might interfere with, the conduct of the study or which would, in the opinion of the Investigator, unacceptably increase the participant's risk if they were to participate in the study. * History or current evidence of a clinically significant breast mass, unexplained nipple discharge, suspicious breast imaging, or other findings suggestive of clinically significant breast pathology that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could increase participant risk or interfere with study participation. * Unable or unwilling to comply with the required soy-restricted dietary periods specified in the protocol.
