What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of participants experiencing at least one treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) from baseline to Day 169. To determine the incidenc of TEAEs and SAEs.

    Incidence of TEAEs (%) = (number of subjects with TEAEs/Total number of subjects) *100 Incidence of SAEs (%) = (number of subjects with SAEs/total number of subjects)*100

    Measured: From first participant enrolled until Day 169 post-dose of last participant

  2. Collecting the adverse events(AEs) up to D169 and the AEs will be categorized based on Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) terms and clssified by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) for summary.

    Adverse events (AEs) were coded using the latest MedDRA version available at the time of study commencement. All AEs were collected after drug administration and were considered TEAEs to be included in the summaries. Summary tables included the number of subjects (%) experiencing an event and the number of events. Subjects who experienced multiple AEs were only counted once in each category (system organ class [SOC] and preferred term [PT]), but all events were included in the event frequencies (categorical descriptive analysis).

    The TEAE summaries included:

    • Overall summary of TEAEs.
    • TEAE summary by SOC and PT.
    • TEAE summary of serious events by SOC and PT.
    • TEAE summary of study-drug related events by SOC and PT. TEAE summary by SOC, PT, and Toxicity Grading.
    • TEAE summary by SOC, PT, and relationship to study drug.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. maximum plasma concentration data (Cmax, ng/mL) of BW-40202 will be collected for all cohorts at the scheduled PK sampling timepoints.

    1. Collect Plasma Concentration Data Blood samples are collected at predetermined time points after drug administration. The drug concentration in plasma is measured at each time point.
    2. Plot the plasma concentration-time curve X-axis: time after drug administration y-axis: plasma drug concentration
    3. Identify the highest observed concentration locate the highest data point in the plasma concentration-time curve the corresponding drug concentration value is Cmax

    Measured: From first patient enrolled until Day 8 post-dose of last patient.

  2. Time to Maximum plasma concentration (Tmax, hr) of BW-40202 will be calculated (hr). T max(Time to Maximum Concentration) is the time at which the maximum observed plasma drug concentration ( Cmax) occurs after drug administration.

    1. Collect Plasma Concentration Data Blood samples are collected at predetermined time points after drug administration. The drug concentration in plasma is measured at each time point.
    2. Plot a Concentration-Time Curve The plasma drug concentration (C) is plotted on the Y-axis. Time post-dose (T) is plotted on the X-axis.
    3. Identify Cmax ⁡Determine the highest drug concentration observed in plasma. The corresponding time point is Tmax

    Measured: From first patient enrolled until Day 8 post-dose of last patient.

  3. Calculate the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC, hr*ng/mL), to estimate the AUC beyond the last observed time point (AUC0-∞), the AUC from 0 to 24 hours and AUC from 0 to 48 hours. The AUC represents the total drug exposure over time.

    AUC (0-∞), Total drug exposure from time zero to infinity (extrapolated). The equation used to calculate Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Zero to Infinity AUC(0-∞) is based on the trapezoidal rule and extrapolation using the elimination rate constant (λz).

    AUC(0-24), Total drug exposure form time zero to 24 hours. The equation used to calculate Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Zero to 24 Hours (AUC₀-₂₄) is based on the trapezoidal rule and is called the Linear Trapezoidal Rule.

    AUC(0-48) , total drug exposure from time zero to 48 hours. The equation used to calculate Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve from Zero to 48 Hours AUC(0-48) is based on the trapezoidal rule and is called the Linear Trapezoidal Rule.

    Measured: From first patient enrolled until Day 8 post-dose of last patient.

  4. Calculate the time required for the plama concentration of a drug to decrease by 50% in the elimination phase. Which is called terminal elimination half-life (t1/2, hr)

    1. Identify the Terminal Elimination Phase Plot a plasma concentration-time curve (log scale on Y-axis, linear scale on X-axis). Focus on the terminal elimination phase, where the concentration follows first-order kinetics (a straight line on a semi-log graph).
    2. Calculate the Elimination Rate Constant (Ke) Use the slope of the terminal phase of the log-transformed concentration-time curve
    3. Calculate the t1/2 using formula: t1/2=ln2/ke=0.693/ke.

    Measured: From first patient enrolled until Day 8 post-dose of last patient

  5. Calculate the Urine output (Aet, mg), Aet (total amount of drug excreted in urine during each time interval)

    Total amount of drug excreted in urine from time t1 to t2 hours (for each urine time interval) Aet1 - t2=Cut1-t2*Vut-t2, where Vut1-t2 = the volume of urine collected from t1 to t2 and Cu t1-t2 = the concentration of drug in the collected urine. Parameters of interest are Ae0-4, Ae4-12, and Ae12-24.

    Measured: From first participant being enrolled until 24 hours post-dose of last enrolled participant

  6. Calculate the Urine output (Clr, L/h), the renal clearance measures the efficiency of drug elimination by the kidneys.

    Renal clearance calculated as CLr = CAe/Plasma AUC0-24. Ae=cumulative amount excreted in urine (mg). AUC0-24 = Area under the plasma concentration - timecurve from 0 to 24 hours (e.g. mg*h/mL)

    Measured: From first participant being enrolled until 24 hours post-dose of last enrolled participant
