The first-in-human Phase 1 study for ALS-4 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single, and multiple ascending dosage research in normal male and female participants to assess the safety, acceptability, and pharmacokinetics of orally given ALS-4. Cohort C (100mg) and Cohort D (200mg) dosing and safety evaluations have been conducted, with 8 individuals (6 having ALS-4 and 2 receiving placebo) dosed in each cohort.
Regarding ALS-4,
ALS-4 is a new first-in-class orally given small molecule medication focused on an anti-virulence strategy targeting staphylococcus aureus, including MRSA, and is part of Aptorum Group’s Acticule infectious disease platform. The antimicrobial resistance characteristics of the bacteria are targeted by ALS-4, which is thought to make the bacterium extremely vulnerable to the host’s immunological clearance. ALS-4 is being developed for use as a stand-alone antibiotic or in combination with other antibiotics like as vancomycin.
