First-Time-in-Human (FTIH) Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of VH4011499 in Healthy Participants

A Randomized, Double-Blind (Sponsor Unblinded), Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Administered VH4011499 in Healthy Participants

This FTIH study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK of the novel investigational Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 capsid inhibitor VH4011499 in healthy adults. The study will be conducted in 3 parts: Part 1 will investigate single ascending doses (SAD) and Part 2 will investigate multiple ascending doses (MAD). Part 3 will investigate single dose of a new formulation of VH4011499. The transition from SAD to MAD will be based on the assessment of the Safety and Dose Escalation Committee.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants who are overtly healthy.
• Participants must have two consecutive Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARs-CoV-2) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) negative results prior to dosing.
• Participants must have body weight > 50 kilograms (kg) and body mass index (BMI) within the range 19-32 kilograms per meter square (kg/m^2).
