A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, First-In-Human, Dose Escalation Study Investigating the Safety, Recovery, and Pharmacodynamics of Multiple Oral Administrations of SNIPR001 in Healthy Subjects

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose, dose escalation study in healthy participants, investigating the safety, tolerability, recovery, and PD of multiple oral administrations of SNIPR001.

Approximately 36 healthy male and female participants will be randomized to one of 3 active oral doses of SNIPR001 or matching placebo, administered twice a day (BID) for 7 days. Subjects will be followed up until 6 months after receiving the last dose of SNIPR001.
