Multiple Ascending-Dose Study of EDP 322 in Healthy Adult Volunteers

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Ascending Multiple-Dose Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics Study of EDP-322 in Healthy Adult Volunteers

This was a Phase I, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending multiple dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered EDP-322 in healthy adult volunteers.

Each cohort received the study drug once daily (QD) for 7 days under fed conditions. Multiple oral doses of EDP 322 ranging from 200 to 800 mg were safe and generally well tolerated by the healthy male and female subjects in this study.
