Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321859 0
Safety and Tolerability as measured by the number of adverse events and serious adverse events, changes in vitals signs, ECGs, and laboratory values, and physical exam findings
Timepoint [1] 321859 0
For Part A (single-dose), safety will be assessed daily from start of dosing through 10 days after dosing.

For Part B (multiple-dose), safety will be assessed daily from start of dosing through 24 days after dosing.
Secondary outcome [1] 376497 0

Timepoint [1] 376497 0
For Part A (single-dose study), PK timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours after dosing for the first 12 hours - one sample 1 day after dosing - one sample 2 days after dosing - one sample 10 days after dosing For Part B (multiple-dose study), PK timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours for the first 12 hours after the first dose - a single sample daily from Days 2 through 13 - samples every 2 hours after dosing on Day 14 - a single daily sample from Day 15 through Day 17 - a single sample on Day 28
Secondary outcome [2] 376498 0
Pharmacodynamic (PD) profile (C4 and FGF19) of MET642. PD will be assayed from blood plasma samples.
Timepoint [2] 376498 0
For Part A (single-dose study), PD timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours after dosing for the first 12 hours - one sample 1 day after dosing - one sample 2 days after dosing - one sample 10 days after dosing For Part B (multiple-dose study), PD timepoints will include the following: - a single pre-dose sample - samples every 2 hours for the first 12 hours after the first dose - a single sample daily from Days 2 through 13 - samples every 2 hours after dosing on Day 14 - a single daily sample from Day 15 through Day 17 - a single sample on Day 28
