Polyphenon E 1600 mg/Day
Drug: Polyphenon E Polyphenon E capsules containing 200 mg of epigallocatechin-gallate. Four capsules twice a day.
Polyphenon E: There will be 3 dose levels and for each dose level, there will be 6 subjects who will receive the study drug and 2 subjects who will be randomized to take placebo. Dosing will be escalated sequentially contingent on the safety profile of previous doses. Safety data from all participants receiving Polyphenon® E in the preceding arm will be evaluated and considered acceptable prior to escalation to the next higher dose. PK analyses will be also performed as each arm is completed. It is necessary to confirm EGCG pharmacokinetics in the event that the primary outcome measure of virologic response is not observed for each arm. For each PK visit on Study Days 1 and 14, a total of 10 blood samples will be obtained per subject.

Polyphenon E 2400 mg/Day

Polyphenon E 3200 mg/Day
n=5 Participants
Drug: Polyphenon E Polyphenon E capsules containing 200 mg of epigallocatechin-gallate. Eight capsules twice a day.
Polyphenon E: There will be three treatment arms, each consisting of 8 participants. Two participants in each study arm will be randomized to receive placebo. Dosing will be escalated sequentially contingent on the safety profile of previous doses. Safety data from all participants receiving Polyphenon® E in the preceding arm will be evaluated and considered acceptable prior to escalation to the next higher dose. PK analyses will be also performed as each arm is completed. It is necessary to confirm EGCG pharmacokinetics in the event that the primary outcome measure of virologic response is not observed for each arm. For each PK visit on Study Days 1 and 14, a total of 10 blood samples will be obtained per subject.
