History of an ongoing or newly diagnosed eye abnormality. 1. Retinal pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy, veno-occlusion, or macular edema 2. Corneal pathologies such as herpes keratitis, corneal dystrophy, corneal erosions, corneal degeneration, active or recurrent keratitis, or uveitis (intermittent, posterior, and/or panuveitis) 3. Other clinically significant ophthalmologic abnormalities (e.g., retinal detachment) or has findings at Screening. [Participants with corrected myopia may be enrolled.] 10. Has cancer at screening endoscopy in GI tract (including stomach, duodenum, and colon/rectum/pouch) (Part 2 only). 11. Has a large polyp (>1 cm) not amenable to complete removal 12. Has active pancreatitis secondary to pancreatic duct obstruction 13. Has active gall bladder disease 14. Is pregnant, lactating or is planning to attempt to become pregnant during this study or within 4 months after the last dose of study drug (women) or is planning to attempt to impregnate someone or donate sperm during the study or within 14 weeks after the last dose of study drug (men). 15. Has had major surgery prior to Study Day 1 16. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy. 17. Has known hypersensitivity to the study drug or its excipients. 18. Has a history of alcohol or substance abuse within 1 year prior to screening for study participation, or is currently using alcohol, drugs of abuse, or any prescribed or over-the-counter medication in a manner which, in the opinion of the Investigator, indicates abuse . 19. Received treatment with another MEK inhibitor 8 weeks prior to Screening and throughout the treatment period of the study. 20. Any of the following known active infections: 1. HIV not optimally controlled or treated. Participants with HIV who are on sustained stable antiretrovirals (for >4 weeks) and have CD4+ counts ≥ 350 cells/μL may be enrolled. No HIV testing is required unless clinically indicated or mandated by local health authority. 2. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with surface antigen positive: participants with a prior history of treated HBV infection who are hepatitis B surface antigen-negative may be enrolled. No testing is required for hepatitis B unless clinically indicated or mandated by local health authority 3. Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection: untreated or on active treatment. Participants with a prior history of treated HCV infection who are HCV RNA-undetectable may be enrolled. No testing is required for hepatitis C unless clinically indicated or mandated by local health authority. 21. Has a severe or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g., dermatologic disease, etc.) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose a significant clinical risk for the participant. 22.

Myocardial infarction or unstable angina 2. Clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias 3. Uncontrolled hypertension: systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 180 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 100 mmHg 4.

Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1b/2, trial to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of REC-4881 in participants with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). This two-part study will treat participants with phenotypic classical FAP with disease involvement of the duodenum or the residual colon/rectum/pouch as the primary disease site. Part 1 of the study enrolled seven participants with FAP who are post-colectomy/proctocolectomy. Participants were randomized to Placebo or REC-4881. Part 2 of the study will treat participants with escalating dose levels of REC-4881 during the Dose Finding. Participants in Cohort Expansion will be treated with a dose(s) to determine the RP2D.
