NCT04535934
Brief Summary:
Approximately 12 adults subjects will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized to one of two directly observed dosing regimens with 2mg adenine 5+ (five stable-labeled nitrogens) as follows: 1 dose/week followed by 4 doses/week OR 3 doses/week followed by 7 doses/week. Each dose regimen will have a duration of approximately 12 weeks and will be separated by a 12-week washout period for a total study duration of approximately 36 weeks.
Dried blood spots (DBS) and whole blood will be collect weekly. Urine will be collected less frequently, about every 2 weeks. The ratio of ATP 5+ to naturally occurring ATP 2+ is dried blood spots will be the primary outcome, as adenine is phosphorylated to ATP in red blood cells. Breakdown products will be measured in urine.
Investigators will allow flexibility in terms of which days are used for dosing for the 1, 3, and 4 dose(s)/week regimens. This is scientifically justified as investigators expect a 20-30 day half-life of ATP 5+ in DBS.
Detailed Description:
Approximately twelve healthy adult volunteers with no contraindicated medical conditions or medications will be recruited from CU/Denver and the surrounding community.
Participants will be randomized to one of 2 sequences consisting of two directly observed dosing regimens with 2mg adenine 5+ per dose, 1 dose/week followed by 4 doses/week or 3 doses/week followed by 7 doses/week. Each dose regimen will have a duration of approximately 12 weeks and will be separated by an approximately 12-week washout period for a total study duration of approximately 36 weeks. The rationale for this study design is several fold. First, the lower doses are given initially to minimize the potential effects of carry-over in the second regimen. Second, 1 to 7 doses/week encompass a wide range of simulated adherence rates to assess the promise of this taggant, adenine 5+, as an adherence biomarker. Third, the 12 week duration is designed to achieve \~90% of steady-state given an estimated half-life of 20-30 days.
