Safety, Tolerability and PK of PXL770 in Healthy Male Subjects

A Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Multiple Ascending Doses of PXL770, Including an Open-label, One-sequence Part to Assess the Drug-drug Interaction With Rosuvastatin in Healthy Male Subjects

PXL770 is a direct activator of 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) being developed by Poxel S.A. for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In Part A of this study, we'll test the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of repeated doses. In Part B, we'll co-administer PXL770 and rosuvastatin (a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) to assess any drug-drug interaction.
