Who may be able to join
- Subject's written informed consent obtained prior to any study-related procedures;
- Male and female aged ≥40 years;
- A female is eligible to enter the study if she is of non-childbearing potential i.e.
- physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant (e.g. postmenopausal women defined as being amenorrheic for ≥12 consecutive months without an alternative medical cause. If indicated, as per investigator's request, post-menopausal status may be confirmed by follicle-stimulating hormone levels, according to local laboratory ranges) or women permanently sterilized (e.g. bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy or bilateral salpingectomy or non-fertile partner). Women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant [i.e. women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)] are eligible to enter the study if they have negative pregnancy test at screening and are fulfilling one of the following criteria:
- WOCBP with fertile male partners;
- WOCBP with non-fertile male partners;

- Male subject with a QTcF >450 ms and female subject with a QTcF >470 ms at screening or at randomisation visits;
- Subject with a history or symptoms of significant neurological disease including transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, seizure disorder or behavioural disturbances;

Receives: Drug: CHF6523 |
| MAD | Experimental | Multiple Ascending Dose of 4 cohorts:
Cohort A will be administered with 2 mg (anticipated dose 1) or placebo; Cohort B will be administered with 4 mg (anticipated dose 2) or placebo; Cohort C will be administered with 8 mg (anticipated dose 3) or placebo; Cohort D will be administered with 12 mg (anticipated dose 4) or placebo; Receives: Drug: CHF6523 |
| 2way crossover | Experimental | Two 28-day treatment periods (Period 1 and Period 2), separated each by 32 days (up to 40 days) wash-out period, in crossover design. The treatment period will consist in repeated administrations of CHF 6523 at one dose level or placebo. Receives: Drug: CHF6523 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
The number of events and the number and percentage of subjects experiencing TEAEs, treatment emergent ADRs, serious TEAEs, non-serious TEAEs, severe TEAEs, TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug and TEAEs leading to death will be presented by treatment.
Measured: Up to 4 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
Pharmacokinetics: AUC0-24h,
Dose proportionality of CHF 6523 for AUC0-24h, and classical PK parameters will be calculated
Measured: On Day 1 at pre-dose,10, 15, 30, 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post dose.
Cardiac Safety
ECG QT Interval: Through digitised 12-lead ECG Extracted from 12-Lead 24h Holter ECG
Measured: At screening visit and on Day 1 at pre-dose, 10, 15, 30, 45 minutes and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 hours post dose and at 24 hours post dose;
