First-in-human, 3-part MRT-8102 in healthy adults and adults with elevated CRP

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Single and Multiple Dose Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MRT-8102 in Healthy Participants and in Participants at Cardiovascular Risk With Elevated CRP

Phase 1 Interventional Monte Rosa Therapeutics, Inc · NCT07119125

This trial will test oral MRT-8102 in healthy adults and in adults at cardiovascular risk with high CRP to see if it is safe and how the body handles it.

What this trial studies

This first-in-human, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study gives single and multiple ascending oral doses of MRT-8102 to healthy adults (parts 1 and 2) and multiple daily doses for 28 days to adults with elevated CRP and cardiovascular risk (part 3). Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics will be collected to define appropriate doses for later trials. Participants will be non-smokers aged 18–65, and part 3 requires CRP ≥3.0 mg/L and evidence of cardiovascular risk factors. The study uses placebo controls and escalating dose cohorts to monitor adverse events and drug exposure.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are non-smoking adults 18–65 who are either healthy volunteers or adults with elevated CRP (≥3.0 mg/L) and cardiovascular risk factors, and who meet the study's other inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Not a fit: People with significant medical or psychiatric conditions, recent surgery, active or recent TB exposure, smokers, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding are excluded and are unlikely to benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If MRT-8102 is safe and well tolerated, it could become a new oral option to target inflammation in people at cardiovascular risk.

How similar studies have performed: This is the first human study of MRT-8102 so there are no human data for this molecule, and while other anti-inflammatory approaches for cardiovascular risk have shown mixed but sometimes promising results, MRT-8102 is untested in people.
