Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ability to provide voluntary, written informed consent

  • Males and females, aged 18 to 55 years inclusive at time of informed consent.

  • Total body weight ≥50 kg and body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 32 kg/m2inclusive.

  • Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test atScreening and Day -1.

  • WOCBP must agree to the use a highly effective birth control (refer to Appendix 11.1) from Screening through 30 days following the last dose of study drug.

Male participants with female partners that are surgically sterile orpost menopausal (defined as being amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months without analternative medical cause), or male participants who have undergone sterilisationand have had testing to confirm the success of the sterilisation, may also beincluded and will not be required to use above-described methods of contraception.Male participants must also agree not to donate sperm up to 90 days following thelast dose of study drug.

  • Considered healthy, as determined by medical evaluation by the Investigatorincluding medical history and physical examination.

  • Vital signs after 5 minutes resting in supine position within the following ranges:Systolic blood pressure: 90 to 140 mmHg inclusive; Diastolic blood pressure: 40 to 90 mmHg inclusive; Heart rate: 40 to 100 bpm inclusive.

  • Standard 12-lead ECG with parameters (average of triplicate readings) after 10minutes in supine position within the following ranges: QRS <120 msec; QT <500 msec;QTc ≤450 msec (both genders); PR interval ≥120 to ≤220 msec.

  • Negative tests for HBsAg, HBcAb (if HBsAg positive), anti-HCV, and HIV antibody atScreening (positive anti-HCV antibody allowed if HCV PCR is negative).

  • Screening and Day -1 safety laboratory test values within normal ranges. Out ofnormal range values may be accepted by the Investigator if not considered clinicallysignificant, with the exception of the following: ALT or AST >1.5 x upper limit ofnormal (ULN); Total, indirect, or direct bilirubin >1.5 x ULN. Participants withGilbert's syndrome with indirect bilirubin outside of the normal range will beexcluded from the study.

  • Willing to refrain from consumption of alcohol as follows: Group A: for at least 48hours prior to Screening, Day -1, and Day 20, and throughout the in-patientconfinement periods and post-dose follow-up visits (consumption of alcohol ispermitted during the outpatient washout period); Group B: for at least 48 hoursprior to Screening and Day -1, and throughout the study.

  • Willing to defer blood donations to a blood service for minimum of 30 days followingthe last dose of study drug.

  • In the opinion of the Investigator, is willing and able to comply with andunderstand study requirements and be available for the required study visits.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Female participant who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnantor breastfeed, or planning to donate ova during study participation.

  • History or presence of a medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator,would interfere with the evaluation of the study drug or lead to increased risk ofharm.

  • Presence of any chronic medical condition requiring ongoing treatment.

  • Current use (or within the 3 months prior to Screening) of other cannabinoid orcannabis products.

  • History of allergy or other adverse reaction to cannabinoid or cannabis products atany time in the past or known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the componentsof the formulation.

  • Current or recent (within 2 months prior to Screening) use of any tobacco ornicotine products (including e-cigarettes, vaping, or dipping) at >5 cigarettes perweek or equivalent. Causal/social smokers (≤5 cigarettes per week or equivalent) arepermitted.

  • History of substance abuse disorder(s), as determined by the Investigator, within 5years of Screening, including but not limited to alcohol, illicit drugs, andinappropriate use of prescription drugs.

Study Design

Total Participants: 20
Treatment Group(s): 2
Primary Treatment: Cannabidiol 100 MG/ML

Study Description

MRX1 is an oral solution containing cannabidiol.

The primary objective of this study is the assess the pharmacokinetic profile of MRX1 at two doses when administered twice daily in healthy adults. The secondary objectives are to assess the safety and tolerability of MRX1 and to characterise the effect of a high fat, high calorie meal on the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of MRX1.

A total of 20 healthy volunteers (10 male and 10 female) will be sequentially enrolled into 2 treatment groups, with 5 males and 5 females in each group.

The duration of the study is up to 52 days per participant for Group A and 37 days per participant for Group B, including screening and follow up.
