Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - ABI-4334 Tablet
Treatment: Drugs - ABI-4334 Placebo

Experimental: Part A: SAD Cohorts 1-5 ABI-4334 Tablet - A single dose of ABI-4334 will be administered on Day 1 in dose-escalation cohorts with a starting dose of 30 mg. The doses for subsequent cohorts will be determined by evaluation of safety and PK data from previous cohorts.

Placebo comparator: Part A: SAD Cohorts 1-5 ABI-4334 Placebo Tablet - A single dose of placebo matching ABI-4334 will be administered on Day 1.

Experimental: Part A: SAD Fed Cohorts 6-7 ABI-4334 Tablet - A single dose of ABI-4334 will be administered after a high-fat meal on Day 1 in cohort 6. A single dose of ABI-4334 will be administered on two separate occasions, once fasted and once after a high-fat meal in cohort 7. The dose administered will be determined after evaluation of cumulative safety and PK data from cohorts 1-5.

Placebo comparator: Part A: SAD Fed Cohorts 6 ABI-4334 Placebo Tablet - A single dose of placebo matching ABI-4334 will be administered on Day 1 after a high-fat meal on Day 1 in cohort 6.

Experimental: Part B: MAD Cohorts 1-2 ABI-4334 Tablet - Once-daily doses of ABI-4334 will be administered from Day 1 to Day 8. Cohort B1 will receive a dose determined from evaluation of the data from the SAD cohorts. The doses for the subsequent cohort will be determined by evaluation of safety and PK data from previous cohorts.

Placebo comparator: Part B: MAD Cohorts 1-2 ABI-4334 Placebo Tablet - Once-daily doses of placebo matching ABI-4334 will be administered from Day 1 to Day 8.
