A Phase 1, Pilot, Single-Dose, 4-Way Crossover Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of Caprylic Triglyceride Oil, AC-1202, AC-1204, and Axona on Ketone Body Production

To compare serum ketone body (i.e., total ketones, β hydroxybutyrate, and estimate of
acetoacetate) levels after single dose administration of caprylic triglyceride (CT) oil,
AC-1202, AC-1204, and Axona®.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Healthy, adult, male 18-55 years of age, inclusive, at screening.

2. Continuous non-smoker who has not used nicotine containing products for at least 3
months prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study.

3. Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 20.0 and ≤ 30.0 kg/m2 at screening.

4. Medically healthy with no clinically significant medical history, physical
examination, laboratory profiles, vital signs or ECGs, as deemed by the PI or
designee. At screening, subjects must have alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) < the upper limit of normal and
triglyceride levels must be < 250 mg/dL.

5. A non-vasectomized subject must agree to use a condom with spermicide or abstain from
sexual intercourse during the study. (No restrictions are required for a vasectomized
male provided his vasectomy has been performed 4 months or more prior to Day -1 of
Period 1. A subject who has been vasectomized less than 4 months prior to Day -1 of
Period 1 must follow the same restrictions as a non vasectomized male).

6. Understands the study procedures in the informed consent form (ICF), and be willing
and able to comply with the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is mentally or legally incapacitated or has significant emotional problems at

participation in the study.

4. History or presence of alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 2 years prior to Day
-1 of Period 1.

5. History or presence of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to the study drugs,
related compounds, milk, palm or coconut oil, or soy.

6. History or presence of diverticular disease, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease or
recurrent diarrhea or gout.

7. Positive urine drug or alcohol results at screening or check in.

8. Positive results at screening for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B
surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV).

9. Seated blood pressure is less than 90/40 mmHg or greater than 140/90 mmHg at
screening.

10. Seated heart rate is lower than 40 bpm or higher than 99 bpm at screening.

11. QTcF interval is >460 msec or has ECG findings deemed abnormal with clinical
significance by the PI or designee at screening.

12. Estimated creatinine clearance ≤80 mL/min at screening.

13. Unable to refrain from or anticipates the use of any drug, including prescription and
non prescription medications, herbal remedies, or vitamin supplements beginning 14
days prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study. Acetaminophen (up to 2 g
per 24 hour period) may be permitted during the study.

14. Has been on a diet incompatible with the on study diet, in the opinion of the PI or
designee, within the 28 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1 and throughout the study.

16. Is unable to complete the meal prior to Day -1 of Period 1.

17. Subject consumed grapefruit or Seville oranges within 14 days prior to Day -1 of

18. Donation of blood or significant blood loss within 56 days prior to Day -1 of Period
1.

19. Plasma donation within 7 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1.

20. Participation in another clinical study within 28 days prior to Day -1 of Period 1.
The 28 day window will be derived from the date of the last blood collection or
dosing, whichever is later, in the previous study to Day -1 of Period 1 of the
