AD or HS Patient (Parts C) Exclusion Criteria:
- Has any clinically significant medical disorder, condition, disease (including active or potentially recurrent dermatological conditions other than AD or HS), significant physical examination or laboratory findings that may interfere with study objectives, in the Investigator's opinion (eg, conditions or findings that may expose a patient to unacceptable risk by study participation, confound the evaluation of treatment response or adverse events, or otherwise interfere with a patient's ability to complete the study).
- Has an active systemic or soft tissue infection, including known actively-infected AD or HS skin lesion.
- Treatment with an investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives preceding the first dose of investigational product (whichever is longer).
- Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs including topical corticosteroids, vitaminic and dietary supplements within 14 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of investigational product.
- Blood donation (excluding plasma donations and platelet donations) of approximately ≥400 mL within 3 months or ≥200 mL within a month prior to dosing.
- History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
- Unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol procedures and/or assessments.
- Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
- Patients with HS: Fistula and Tunnel count of >20 at baseline.
- Patients with AD: Active herpes infection or history of eczema herpeticum.

About this study
Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single and Multiple Ascending Dose Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Orally Administered KT-474 in Healthy Adult Volunteers and Patients With Atopic Dermatitis (AD) or Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)
KT-474 is an oral heterobifunctional small molecule IRAK4 degrader being developed for the treatment of interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)/toll-like receptor (TLR)-driven immune-inflammatory diseases. This first-in-human (FIH) study will characterize the safety, tolerability and the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of a single ascending dose and multiple ascending doses of KT-474 in healthy volunteers and patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The effects of food on the absorption of KT-474 will also be evaluated in healthy volunteers.
Read the detailed description
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 randomized, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose trial of KT-474 that will characterize the safety, PK and PD of orally administered KT-474 after a single dose (Part A) and after repeated dosing first in healthy adult volunteers (Part B) and then in patients with AD or HS (Part C). Initially, a dose range of KT-474 in single ascending dose (SAD) escalation cohorts will be explored in healthy subjects. Up to five single dose cohorts of healthy subjects is also planned to understand food effects (FE) on the PK of KT-474. Enrollment of healthy subjects into 2-week multiple ascending dose (MAD) escalation cohorts will be initiated once sufficient safety and PK data from multiple SAD cohorts are available to inform the safe starting dose for the 2-week MAD portion of the study. After the MAD portion in healthy subjects is completed, the safety, PK, and PD of a dose of KT-474 that was found to be safe in healthy subjects when administered for 2 weeks will then be evaluated in AD or HS subjects for 28 days of dosing. Separately, additional multiple dose cohorts evaluating once every other day and/or twice weekly dosing schedules at or below previously evaluated dose levels in healthy volunteers may be initiated.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Single ascending dose cohorts in healthy subjects | Experimental | Healthy volunteer subject cohorts randomized 6:2 receiving a single dose of KT-474 or placebo. The first cohort will receive 25 mg of KT-474 or placebo. Dose escalation will occur if KT-474 or placebo is tolerated. Receives: Drug: KT-474/Placebo |
| Multiple ascending dose cohorts in healthy subjects | Experimental | Healthy volunteer subject cohorts randomized 9:3 to receive KT-474 or placebo for 14 days continuous dosing. The first cohort will receive a dose of KT-474 or placebo determined to be safe based on data generated in the SAD portion. Receives: Drug: KT-474/Placebo |
| Food Effect Cohort in healthy subjects | Experimental | Healthy Volunteer SAD subject cohorts (up to 5) will receive a single dose of KT-474 in the fed state. Receives: Drug: KT-474/Placebo |
| Multiple dose cohort in HS and AD patients | Experimental | A single cohort of up to 30 patients with AD or HS to receive a dose of KT-474 determined to be safe based on data generated in the healthy volunteer MAD portion, dosed daily X 28 days. Receives: Drug: KT-474 |
| Multiple dose cohorts in healthy subjects | Experimental | Healthy volunteer subject cohorts randomized 9:3 to receive KT-474 or placebo every other day over 14 days, and/or twice weekly over 15 days. The first cohort will receive a dose of KT-474 or placebo determined to be safe based on data generated in the SAD and MAD portion. Receives: Drug: KT-474/Placebo |
