Brief Summary

First-in-Human Phase 1, Single-Center, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Adults to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Doses of Oral AN2-502998

Detailed Description

First-in-human Phase 1, Single-Center, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Adults to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Doses of Oral AN2-502998

Part A (SAD; Groups SAD1-SAD6):

Part A is the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) portion of the trial that will be conducted in approximately 48 healthy adults in approximately 6 groups. Eight participants in each group will be randomized in a 6:2 ratio to receive a single dose of AN2-502998 or matching PBO, respectively (6 AN2-502998:2 PBO).

Part B (MAD; Groups MAD1-MAD3):

Part B is the Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) portion of the trial that will be conducted in approximately 24 healthy adults in approximately 3 groups. Eight participants in each group will be randomized in a 6:2 ratio to receive multiple doses of AN2-502998 or matching PBO (6 AN2 502998:2 PBO) QD for 10 days.
