Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Up to 48 participants will be enrolled into up to 6 cohorts:

Participants in Cohort 1 will be randomized to receive an oral dose of either 50 mg (1x50 mg capsule) of ATN-249 (6 participants) or placebo (2 participants). Two sentinel participants (one allocated to placebo and one allocated to ATN-249) will be dosed initially. If dosing of these sentinel participant proceeds without clinically-significant adverse events (AEs) over 24 hours (as adjudicated by the SMC), the remaining 6 participants will be dosed. Participants will be dosed following an overnight fasting of at least 10 hours.

Cohort 2 will be subject to a crossover design with two treatment periods. Participants will be randomized to receive either 100 mg (2x50 mg capsules) of ATN-249 (6 participants) or placebo (2 participants). Dosing will follow at least 10 hours overnight fasting in the first treatment period; and high fat meal in the second treatment period. The wash-out period between treatments will be of at least 7 days. As with Cohort 1, two sentinel participants (one allocated to placebo and one allocated to ATN-249) will be dosed initially during the first treatment period. The planned study procedures for Cohort 2 will proceed if dosing of these sentinel participants proceeds without clinically significant AEs.

Up to four additional cohorts, of 8 participants each, analogous to Cohort 1 in terms of study procedures may be enrolled. The dose level of these cohorts will be established following review of PK and safety information from the preceding cohorts. The anticipated dose levels for Cohorts 3 to 6 are 150 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg and 800 mg ATN-249.

Two sentinel participants in each of these cohorts (one allocated to placebo and one allocated to ATN-249) will be dosed initially. If dosing of these sentinel participant proceeds without clinically-significant adverse events (AEs) over 24 hours (as adjudicated by the SMC), the remaining 6 participants will be dosed. Participants will be dosed following an overnight fasting of at least 10 hours.
