Single and multiple oral doses of SEP-479 in healthy adults

A Phase 1 Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of SEP-479 in Healthy Adult Participants

PHASE1 · Septerna, Inc. · NCT07433179

This study will try single and repeated oral doses of SEP-479 and placebo in healthy adults to see if the drug is safe, how the body handles it, and whether food changes its effects.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1 interventional study enrolls healthy adults aged 21–60 with BMI 18.0–32.0 kg/m2 to receive single and multiple oral doses of SEP-479 or placebo. Participants will be monitored for safety and tolerability and will have blood sampling for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic measurements, along with routine clinical labs and vital sign assessments. A food-effect component will examine how a meal alters SEP-479 absorption. Results will inform dosing, safety, and design of later patient trials.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Healthy adults aged 21–60 with BMI 18.0–32.0 kg/m2 who are in general good health and able to give informed consent are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: People with clinically significant medical conditions, abnormal laboratory results, recent or current participation in other clinical trials, or those outside the age or BMI ranges are unlikely to benefit from participating.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If SEP-479 is safe, well tolerated, and shows predictable pharmacokinetics, the data could enable further patient studies of the drug.

How similar studies have performed: Single- and multiple-dose Phase 1 studies are a standard early-human approach and many drugs progress after favorable safety and PK results, but there are no published results specific to SEP-479 available.
