Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are healthy men and women aged 18–55 with BMI 18–32 kg/m2 who are non- or ex-smokers, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and willing to stay in the clinic for the required confinement periods.

Probably not a fit

People with active medical conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding women, current smokers, or patients seeking treatment for ongoing pain are unlikely to receive direct clinical benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial in healthy adults aims to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SBS-147, an AEAr agonist candidate for acute pain. The study has two parts: a single-ascending-dose cohort with a one-time dose and approximately 5 days of in-clinic confinement, and a multiple-ascending-dose cohort with once- or twice-daily dosing for 7 days and approximately 10 days of confinement. Participants will be randomized to receive SBS-147 or matching placebo, undergo blood draws, safety monitoring, and questionnaires, and complete follow-up visits through Day 8 or Day 14. The study is sponsored by Sparian Biosciences with NIH support and conducted at AltaSciences in Cypress, California.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SBS-147 could lead to a new non-opioid option for treating acute pain with a different receptor mechanism.

How similar studies have gone: This is a first-in-human Phase 1 trial so human data are limited, although related preclinical studies of AEAr agonists have shown promise for pain reduction.

9. Use of any prescription drugs in the 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to Screening and until the end of the study, that in the opinion of an Investigator would put into question the status of the participant as healthy
