A Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of a Single Dose of CMX157 in Healthy Volunteers

A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single-dose, Dose-escalation Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of CMX157 in Healthy Adult Volunteers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CMX157 and the amount of CMX157 that reaches the blood stream, the manner in which the body processes CMX157 and the time that it takes to eliminate CMX157 following one oral dose when given to healthy volunteers.
