What this Trial Is About

This is a single-centre, participant- and investigator-blind, randomised, placebo controlled, single ascending dose study to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of a single dose of IM depot injection(s) of LAI formulations of MMV055 administered alone (Part A) and in combination with MMV371 (Part B) in healthy participants. It is planned to enroll up to 6 sequential cohorts of 8 healthy male participants and healthy female participants of non-childbearing potential in Part A. In Part B, up to 3 sequential cohorts of 8 healthy male participants and healthy non-pregnant, non-lactating female participants will be enrolled. In each cohort, participants will be randomised in a ratio of 6 active investigational medicinal product (IMP) to 2 placebo. Part A of the study will include two components, Parts A1 and A2. Part A1 includes two initial cohorts, with planned doses of 40 and 100mg, respectively. It is intended to document the human elimination T1/2 of MMV055, which will then be used to shorten the proposed End of Study (EOS) of 48 weeks, if possible. All cohorts will follow a sentinel dosing design. On Day 1, two sentinel participants (sentinel group) will be randomly assigned to receive a single IM dose of either active IMP or placebo (1 participant each) to assess safety and tolerability (including ISRs). The sentinel group will be dosed concomitantly at least 7 days prior to the rest of the cohort (main group). The main group will comprise 6 participants randomly assigned to receive a single IM dose of either active IMP or placebo in a 5:1 ratio to assess safety and tolerability (including ISRs).
