Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antiviral activity in both healthy volunteers and volunteers with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Healthy volunteers will be administered either a single oral dose or multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 and assessed for safety and tolerability including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug. Volunteers with a diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B virus infection will be administered multiple oral doses of ATI-2173 and assessed for safety and tolerability including blood tests to show how the body metabolizes and eliminates the investigational drug as well as how the drug effects the virus infection.

ATI-2173

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ATI-2173

Intervention Type DRUG

ATI-2173 is a liver-targeted phosphoramidate prodrug of clevudine designed to enhance anti-HBV activity while decreasing systemic exposure to clevudine. It will be dosed as a capsule by mouth.

ATI-2173 Placebo

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

ATI-2173 Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

ATI-2173 Placebo is used as an inactive comparator to ATI-2173. It will be dosed as a capsule by mouth.
