Brief Summary

This is the first time finafloxacin was administered to humans intravenously. The principal aim of this study was to obtain safety and tolerability data when finafloxacin was administered intravenously as single and multiple doses to healthy subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Safety

  The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple intravenous (IV) doses of finafloxacin in healthy subjects. The safety evaluation includes the descriptive display and analysis of adverse events after single and multiple doses for 7 days of intravenously administered finafloxacin. The frequency of adverse events is evaluated for all casualties and for drug related adverse events. Comparisons between the placebo and verum groups are provided in descriptive manner. In addition the evaluation of clinical laboratory data, vital signs, electrocardiography data, physical examination, local tolerability is provided.

  1 to 7 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Pharmacokinetic parameters of finafloxacin in plasma and urine samples from healthy subjects using non compartmental procedures

  1 to 7 days

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Subjects will be males or females of any ethnic origin between 18 and 65 years of age and with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 32.0 kg/m2 inclusive.
• Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential, and are defined as follows: Female subjects 50 years of age or less must be surgically sterile or post-menopausal (defined as at least two years post cessation of menses and/or follicular stimulating hormone \>40 mIU/mL and serum oestradiol \<110 pmol/L).
• Female subjects of more than 51 years of age must be surgically sterile or post-menopausal (defined by a value of follicular stimulating hormone \>40 mIU/mL and no spontaneous menstruation for at least one year before the first dose).
• Subjects must be in good health, as determined by a medical history, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical laboratory evaluations.
• Subjects will have given their written informed consent to participate in the study and to abide by the study restrictions.

You may not qualify if:

• Male subjects who are not willing, or whose partners are not willing, to use appropriate contraception (such as condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository) from the time of the first dose until 3 months after the final dosing occasion.
• Subjects who have received any prescribed systemic or topical medication within 14 days (or corticosteroids within 4 weeks) of the first dose administration (for female subjects, stable hormone replacement therapy is acceptable) unless in the opinion of the Investigator the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise safety.
• Subjects who have used any non-prescribed systemic or topical medication (including herbal remedies) within 7 days of the first dose administration (with the exception of vitamin/mineral supplements) unless in the opinion of the Investigator the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise safety.
• Subjects who have received any medications, including St John's Wort, known to chronically alter drug absorption or elimination processes within 30 days of the first dose administration unless in the opinion of the Investigator the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise safety.
• Subjects who are still participating in a clinical study (e.g. attending follow-up visits) or who have participated in a clinical study involving administration of an investigational drug in the past 3 months.
• Subjects who have donated any blood, plasma or platelets in the 3 months prior to randomisation or who have made donations on more than two occasions within the 12 months preceding the first dose administration.
• Subjects with a significant history of drug allergy as determined by the Investigator.
• Subjects with a current or history of allergy to antibiotics as determined by the Investigator.
• Subjects who have out of range values for Liver Function Tests.
• Subjects with non-haemolytic bilirubinaemia (Gilbert's syndrome).
• Subjects who have any clinically significant allergic disease (excluding non-active hayfever) as determined by the Investigator.
• Subjects who have a supine blood pressure and supine pulse rate higher than 140/90 mmHg and 100 beats per minute (bpm), respectively, or lower than 90/50 mmHg and 40 bpm, respectively, confirmed by a repeat assessment.
• Subjects who consume more than 28 units (males) or more than 21 units (females) of alcohol per week or who have a significant history of alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse as determined by the Investigator (1 unit of alcohol equals ½ pint \[285 mL\] of beer or lager, 1 glass \[125 mL\] of wine, or 1/6 gill \[25 mL\] of spirits).
