A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of BMS-986104 in Healthy Male Subjects

A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of BMS-986104 in Healthy Male Subjects

The primary objective in this study is to assess if single doses of BMS-986104 that are safe, tolerable, and result in sufficient lymphopenia (50% to 70% reduction in absolute lymphocyte count) can be achieved without bradycardia or other adverse events in healthy male subjects.
