Participant Flow

Study period was approximately 2 weeks (from August 26, 2008 to September 8, 2008), plus a 30-day post-treatment follow up. The study was conducted at a Phase I Study Unit of a Clinical Research Center in Orlando, FL.

All participants needed to meet strict entry criteria. Sixty-three subjects were screened to randomize 12 subjects into the study.

Measure
ST-246 Form I Followed by Form V
Each of six subjects receive a single 400 mg dose (2×200 mg) of ST-246 Form I, followed 10 days later by a single 400 mg dose (2×200 mg) of ST-246 Form V. Both forms of drug are orally administered within 30 minutes after a standard light meal consisting of 400-450 calories and approximately 25% fat.
ST-246 Form V Followed by Form I
Each of six subjects receive a single 400 mg dose (2×200 mg) of ST-246 Form V, followed 10 days later by a single 400 mg dose (2×200 mg) of ST-246 Form I. Both forms of drug are orally administered within 30 minutes after a standard light meal consisting of 400-450 calories and approximately 25% fat.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Post-dose samples at 0.5,1,2,3,4,8,12,24,36,48,72 hrs

Population: Both groups started with 12 particpants. Outlier values were excluded from the half-life analyses for 3 subject PK profiles (one Form I and 2 Form V). Form V group lost a particpant during wash-out period due to death in the family.

Mean terminal half-life (t½; hrs) for Forms I and V were calculated from \[plasma\] vs time profiles.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: Both groups started with 12 particpants. Form V group lost a particpant during wash-out period due to death in the family.

Evaluated safety parameters included: 1. physical examination/vital signs 2. electrocardiograms (heart rate, PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, and QTc Bazett) 3. laboratory safety tests (hematology, chemistry, urinalysis) 4. adverse events For a), b) and c), summary statistics (mean,SD, median, minm, maxm)for values, and changes from baseline(Day 1 pre-dose) to each timepoint, were measured and compared to laboratory normal reference ranges. Values for a)- d) were assigned grades according to DAIDS AE Grading Table. Any Grade of 3 or higher was considered severe and significant.
