A First-in-Human SAD/MAD Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of ENC1018 in Healthy Adult Subjects

A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Escalating Single and Multiple Doses of ENC1018 in Healthy Adult Subjects

This is a Phase 1, FIH, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK characteristics of ENC1018 after single and multiple oral dose administration in healthy adult subjects.

The study will be conducted in two parts: Part A -Single ascending Dose (SAD) and Part B - Multiple ascending dose (MAD). A Food Effect Cohort will be conducted within Part A. Part A is for the single dose use of IP, while Part B is once daily use for 14 consecutive days.

Approximately 72 healthy adult subjects are planned to be enrolled. Each subject will be enrolled in only one cohort of either Parts A or B of the study, to receive only one dose regimen during the study. Part B may be initiated in parallel or prior to completion of Part A, at the discretion of Safety Review Committee (SRC), upon reviewing safety and plasma PK data.
