A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of PN-232 in Healthy Volunteers

This Phase 1 study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PN-232 in healthy volunteers.

Part 2: Up to 40 subjects will be enrolled into 4 cohorts to receive PN-232 or placebo once daily for 10 days.

Part 3: Twelve subjects will receive single doses of PN-232 in a 3-way, randomized, crossover fashion.
