Purpose
This study will evaluate the the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of ACE-083 as a local injection into the thigh muscle of healthy subjects. The study will also determine the amount of ACE-083 that reaches the systemic circulation following local administration. Additionally, the study will assess whether local administration into the thigh muscle results in an increase in the size and/or strength of the injected muscle.
Condition Intervention Phase
Focus of the Study is Primarily Safety in Healthy Subjects
Drug: ACE-083
Phase 1
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Primary Outcome Measures:
ACE-083 safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment (Study Day 1) to end of follow up period (up to Study Day 106) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
safety/tolerability assessment, following intramuscular administration, includes adverse events, injection site reactions, laboratory measurements, vital signs, etc.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
ACE-083 pharmacokinetics [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment (Study Day 1) to Study Day 92 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Assessment of systemic absorption and exposure following local injection of ACE-083 into the thigh muscle
ACE-083 pharmacodynamics [ Time Frame: From initiation of treatment (Study Day 1) to end of follow up period (up to Study Day 106) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Pharmacodynamic assessments include measurements of thigh volume and composition (by MRI) and muscle strength testing

Detailed Description:
ACE-083 is a molecule that has been shown to increase skeletal muscle mass in animals and, therefore, has potential utility in certain diseases that affect skeletal muscle. This initial study in healthy human subjects will help determine the properties of ACE-083 (safety, tolerability, drug absorption and biologic activity), following local administration into skeletal muscle, in advance of clinical trials in patients.
The study will consist of up to 5 planned groups of 8 subjects each. Subjects in each cohort will be randomized to receive either ACE-083 or placebo. ACE-083 (or placebo) will be administered locally into the right quadriceps (thigh) muscle. Subjects will receive a total of either one dose (on Day 1) or two doses (on Day 1 and Day 22). Each dose administered could include up to 4 injections of study drug into pre-defined locations in the muscle.
A Safety Review Team (SRT) will review blinded, preliminary data from each treatment group to make recommendations regarding escalation to the next treatment grop. Subjects will be assessed for safety throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. Follow-up visits will occur over 12 weeks following the last dose of study drug.
