Description of intervention(s) / exposure
MET642 is a tablet that is administered orally.
In Part A, eligible participants will be assigned to 1 of 4 groups based on when they participate in the study. Within each group, participants are randomly assigned to receive a single dose of MET642 or placebo. Doses range from 15mg to 300mg and will be determined and adjusted based on emerging data.
In Part B, eligible participants will be assigned to 1 of 4 groups based on when they participate in the study. Within each group, participants are randomly assigned to receive daily doses of MET642 or placebo for 2 weeks. Doses for will range from 2.5mg to 10mg and will be determined and adjusted based on emerging data.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321859 0
Safety and Tolerability as measured by the number of adverse events and serious adverse events, changes in vitals signs, ECGs, and laboratory values, and physical exam findings
Timepoint [1] 321859 0
For Part A (single-dose), safety will be assessed daily from start of dosing through 10 days after dosing.

For Part B (multiple-dose), safety will be assessed daily from start of dosing through 24 days after dosing.
Secondary outcome [1] 376497 0
Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of MET642, including but not limited to: Cmax, Tmax, AUCinf, and T1/2. PK will assayed from blood plasma samples.
Timepoint [1] 376497 0
For Part A (single-dose study), PK timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours after dosing for the first 12 hours - one sample 1 day after dosing - one sample 2 days after dosing - one sample 10 days after dosing For Part B (multiple-dose study), PK timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours for the first 12 hours after the first dose - a single sample daily from Days 2 through 13 - samples every 2 hours after dosing on Day 14 - a single daily sample from Day 15 through Day 17 - a single sample on Day 28
Secondary outcome [2] 376498 0
Pharmacodynamic (PD) profile (C4 and FGF19) of MET642. PD will be assayed from blood plasma samples.
Timepoint [2] 376498 0
For Part A (single-dose study), PD timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours after dosing for the first 12 hours - one sample 1 day after dosing - one sample 2 days after dosing - one sample 10 days after dosing For Part B (multiple-dose study), PD timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours for the first 12 hours after the first dose - a single sample daily from Days 2 through 13 - samples every 2 hours after dosing on Day 14 - a single daily sample from Day 15 through Day 17 - a single sample on Day 28
