     • Change in gastrin level from baseline to 1d and 7d (ΔAUEGlast, ΔGmax, etc.)

[Safety Assessments] <Single Dosing Group (Korean Subjects) and Multiple Dosing Group (Caucasian Subjects)>

1. AEs will be monitored with observable/objective symptoms, etc.
2. Physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory tests

Inclusion Criteria:

• [For single dosing group only] Healthy Korean male aged 19 to 50 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF)

• Voluntary participation in the study after being fully informed of and understanding the study completely, and provides his written informed consent prior to screening procedure
• Subjects who are eligible for this study in the opinion of the investigator based on the results of physical examination, clinical laboratory tests, interview, etc.

Exclusion Criteria:

• History or current evidence of clinically significant disorder of hepatic, renal, nervous, respiratory, endocrine, hemato-oncologic, cardiovascular, urinary, and/or psychiatric system.

• History or current evidence of gastrointestinal disease that may affect the safety and PD assessment for study treatment (e.g., gastrointestinal ulcer, gastritis, gastric cramp, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Crohn's disease) or a history of gastrointestinal surgery (except for simple appendectomy or herniotomy).

• History or current evidence of clinically significant hypersensitivity to drugs containing IN-C005 or any ingredient of proton pump inhibitors and other drugs (such as aspirin and antibiotics).

• Subjects with positive result on serology tests (for hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], and hepatitis C).

• Subjects with blood level of total bilirubin, AST (GOT), or ALT (GPT) > 1.5 X upper limit of normal range(ULN) at procedures performed during the screening period including those performed additionally.

• Subjects with eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 during the screening period including those performed additionally.
