Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will receive up to four dose of BNC210 - 300, 600, 1200,and 2000 mg. Doses of 300, 600 and 1200mg of BNC210 will be administered as an oral suspension in 10 mL of vehicle or 10 mL vehicle alone (placebo). Participants in the 2000 mg of BNC210 dosing group (Period 5) will be given an oral suspension in 20 mL of vehicle or 20 mL of vehicle alone (placebo).

The starting dose in this study is 300 mg of BNC210 or placebo without food. The following week, the same 4 participants will receive 300 mg of BNC210 or placebo with food. If there is a >50% increase in drug exposure with food, then the participants' will be dose escalated - with a one week washout period between each dose. Escalation to the next dose will be decided in a safety review meeting held before the next dosing period.
