Summary

This trial is testing a new inhalation powder called MNKD-201 in healthy adults. It is a Phase 1 study, which means it is the first time the powder is being tested in humans

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults who can participate in a study testing the safety and dosage of a new inhalation powder called MKND-201. Participants must meet certain health standards, but specific inclusion criteria are not listed.
What is being tested?
The study is evaluating MKND-201, an inhalation powder, to see how safe it is and how it moves through and out of the body (pharmacokinetics). It's done in two parts: one where volunteers get one dose (SAD), and another with multiple doses (MAD).
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a first-in-human study, potential side effects are unknown but will be closely monitored compared to those taking a placebo. Side effects could range from mild reactions at the administration site to more systemic responses.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: (Part B) MKND-201 MADExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part B involves a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study with two cohorts. In each cohort, participants will receive MKND-201 or placebo twice daily (BID) at either the Target Dose or High Dose. Allocation is randomized 3:1 (MKND-201:placebo) and double-blind. Participants will use a breath-powered inhaler, which aerosolizes the powder for lung delivery
Group II: (Part A) MKND-201 SADExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A involves a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study with three cohorts. In each cohort, participants will receive a single dose of MKND-201 or placebo for one day. The doses will be categorized as Target Dose, High Dose, and Very High Dose. Allocation is randomized and double-blind, maintaining a ratio of 3:1 (MKND-201:placebo). Participants will use a breath-powered inhaler, which aerosolizes the powder for lung delivery
Group III: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Administered as a single dose or BID using the same number of cartridges as MKND-201 participants in the same cohort
