Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Part A:
Part A of the study consists of 8 cohorts of 8 participants each. Participants in each cohort will receive a single oral dose of either placebo or 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, 800 mg or one of two more currently undecided dose levels of GBT021601 (dose levels to be determined by Safety Review Committee). One cohort will receive a dose previously found to be well tolerated following the ingestion of a high-fat meal (the meal will consist of two eggs fried in butter, two strips of bacon, two slices of white toast with butter, 2 hash browns and 240 mL of whole milk). All doses will be administered by a study nurse

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Healthy males or females between 18 and 55 years inclusive at screening.
2. No clinically significant findings as assessed by review of medical and surgical history,
vital signs assessments, 12-lead ECG, physical examination, and clinical laboratory
evaluations conducted at screening and on day of admission. In the event of clinically
significant abnormalities, a single repeat measurement/test may be performed at the
discretion of the investigator to confirm eligibility based upon initial vital signs, ECG, or
clinical laboratory tests.
3. Body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 30.0 kg/m^2 inclusive, and body weight more than or equal to50 kg at screening and Day -1. BMI = weight (kg)/(height[m])^2
4. Females must be of non-childbearing potential (eg, postmenopausal [defined as
amenorrhoeic for at least one year with a follicle stimulating hormone level >40 IU/L] or
surgically sterile by hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral salpingectomy, or
bilateral oophorectomy [documentation required]).
5. Males who are not surgically sterile with partners of childbearing potential must agree to
use a highly effective method of birth control during the study and for 120 days following
study drug dose. A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that results
in a low documented failure rate when used consistently and correctly such as: condom
plus use of an intrauterine device; intrauterine system or hormonal method of
contraception (oral, injected, implanted, or transdermal) for your female partner; or
sexual abstinence.
6. Males must agree to not donate sperm during the study and for 120 days following study
drug dosing.
7. Participants must be able to communicate effectively in English with the study personnel.
8. Participants must be nonsmokers, defined as having abstained from tobacco- or nicotine- containing products (eg, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, nicotine patches, and electronic cigarettes) in the 6 months prior to screening.
9. Participants must be informed of the nature and risks of the study and give written
consent prior to screening.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
55 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
1. Positive pregnancy test or currently breastfeeding.
2. History or presence of clinically significant allergic diseases (except for untreated,
asymptomatic, seasonal allergies) at time of dosing, in the opinion of the investigator.
3. History or presence of conditions which, in the opinion of the investigator, are known to
interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs, such as
previous surgery on the gastrointestinal tract (including removal of parts of the stomach,
bowel, liver, gall bladder, or pancreas). Participants who have had an appendectomy are
eligible for enrollment.
4. History or presence of conditions that may place the participant at increased safety risk as determined by the investigator.
5. History of surgery or major trauma within 12 weeks of screening, or surgery planned during the study.

heart rate (HR) using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) >450 msec for males and >470 msec
for females, or any cardiac rhythm other than sinus rhythm that is interpreted by the
investigator to be clinically significant. An additional triplicate ECG may be performed
to confirm ECG abnormalities (ie, to confirm that a participant is eligible).
8. Known personal or family history of congenital long QT syndrome or known family
history of sudden death.
9. Resting bradycardia (HR <45 beats per minute [bpm]) or resting tachycardia
(HR >100 bpm) at screening or Day -1 based on vital signs measurements. A single

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of GBT021601, as well as the pharmacokinetics (PK- how your body uses the drug) and whether ingesting food has an effect on how your body uses the drug.

GBT021601 will be tested in 124 healthy participants aged 18 to 55 years.
In Part A 64 participants will be administered a single dose of GBT021601 as oral tablets or capsules and followed up for 98 days for safety and PK assessments.
