About this study
Official title: Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Staggered, Parallel, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose and Food Effect Study to Evaluate the Safety and PK of Oral SAT-3247 in Healthy Volunteers and Participants With DMD
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 study of orally administered SAT-3247 in healthy adult volunteers (HVs) and adult participants with DMD to determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
Read the detailed description
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 study of orally administered SAT-3247 in healthy volunteers (HVs) and adult participants with DMD. The study will be conducted in 4 parts.
Part A is a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) part that will enroll approximately 40 HVs in up to 5 dose cohorts. Each participant will receive a single oral dose of SAT 3247 or matched placebo on Day 1; each cohort will receive a higher dose than the prior cohort. Part B is a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) part that will enroll approximately 32 HVs in up to 4 sequential dose cohorts. Each participant will receive a daily oral dose of SAT-3247 or matched placebo on Day 1 to Day 7 each cohort will receive a higher dose than the prior cohort. Part C will assess the effect of food on the PK of SAT-3247 in a fixed sequence, crossover design. The dose to be tested will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) following review of safety, tolerability, and available PK and PD data from Part A. Approximately 8 healthy participants who completed Part A at the anticipated dose level (in a fasted state) will crossover into a subsequent fed cohort and receive a single dose of the same randomized IP at the same dose level that they received in Part A but, following a high fat meal. Part D is a open-label Multiple Dose cohort that will comprise 10 adult males with genetically confirmed DMD. Each participant will receive SAT-3247 once daily for 5 consecutive days of each of 4 weeks

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
SAT-3247Drug
Also called SAT3247, AAK1 inhibitor
SAT-3247 is an oral tablet that is a potent, muscle penetrant, small molecule inhibitor of AAK1; inhibition of AAK1 rescues perturbed asymmetric division of satellite stem cells, resulting in increased muscle regeneration in animal models of DMD. In vitro and in vivo animal pharmacology studies have demonstrated the efficacy of SAT-3247 in improving muscle strength and the necessary target coverage to maximize functional muscle improvement.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing SAT-3247 in people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, run by Satellos Bioscience, Inc. at 2 sites in Australia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (time frame: Part A: Day 1-3; Part B: Day 1-8; Part C: Day 1-3; Part D: Day 1-28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2025.
