Brief Summary

This is a Phase I, open-label, randomized, single-dose, 2-part study designed to evaluate the food effect and relative bioavailability of ECC4703 in healthy adult participants.

Detailed Description

Part 1 will include 3 cohorts of 16 participants each, completing 2 single-dose crossover periods to assess food effect on ECC4703 formulations (F1, F2, and F3). Part 2 of the study will enroll approximately 24 participants to compare selected formulations from Part 1 to formulation (F0), using an adaptive design to finalize sequence, treatment periods, and food conditions.

Conditions

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis

• Not taking any medication within 14 days (or at least 5 half-lives whichever is longer) prior to Day 1 dosing, with the exception of stable-dose contraception, stable-dose hormonal replacement therapy, paracetamol at up to 2 g/day; or other medication, which in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor will not interfere with study assessments.
• No clinically significant findings in physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), vital sign measurements, clinical laboratory evaluations, concomitant medications, or medical/psychiatric history
• Able to understand and sign and date informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

• Females who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding during the study or within 90 days after the study.
