Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment Drug: ENN0403 oral capsules
1. Part A, Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Arms: Part A evaluates single-dose administration of ENN0403 at dose levels 1, 4, 10, 20 and 30 mg respectively in cohort A1-A5. The dose level of 20 mg has also been evaluated in a preliminary Food Effect (FE) study in cohort A6. While cohrot A1-A5 will receive a single dose of investigational drug under fasted state (after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours prior to dosing), cohort A6 will receive a high calorie (approximately 800 to 1000 calories) and high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal) breakfast meal following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours; the investigational drug will be administered 30 minutes after the start of the meal.
2. Part B, Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Arms: Part B evaluates multiple dose administration of ENN0403 at 6, 12, and 20 mg once daily (QD) for 14 consecutive days, respectively in cohort B1-B3.

Each cohort included 8 subjects (6 receiving ENN0403 and 2 receiving placebo). Each subject will be enrolled in only 1 cohort and receive only one dose regimen in this study.
Dosing will be escalated in a sequential fashion, contingent on a review of safety, tolerability, and available PK data of the previous dose level by a Safety Review Committee (SRC). The MAD study will commence only after SRC review of the data from Cohort A3 in Part A (SAD study) and cumulative data from previous completed cohorts. Further dose level decisions for Part B will be guided by the emerging safety, tolerability, PK, and PD data from Part A as well as completed cohorts of Part B.

All dose administrations will be performed at the study site under the supervision of appropriately trained staff. A hand and mouth check will be performed following each dose administration to make sure the dose has been swallowed. The details of investigational drug administration will be recorded in both the source documents and eCRF(electronic Case Report Form).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 332099 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ENN0403 following single and multiple dose
administration in healthy adult subjects. The safety parameters to be assessed include
AEs/SAEs, and changes in clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, and physical
examinations from baseline.

Adverse events will be reported by the subject. The Investigator and any designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE. Events meeting the AE definition include:
• Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or other safety assessments (eg, ECG, vital signs measurements, or physical examinations), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the Investigator.
• Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent preexisting condition including either an increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition.
• New conditions detected or diagnosed after IP administration although it may have been present before the start of the study.
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction.
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either IP or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as an AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae. Severity categories of AE assessment include mild, moderate and severe, as defined below-
• Mild: An AE that is easily tolerated by the subject, causes minimal discomfort, and does not interfere with everyday activities.
• Moderate: An AE that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday activities; intervention may be needed.
• Severe: An AE that prevents normal everyday activities; treatment or other intervention usually needed.

Vital signs measurements will include tympanic body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure. Blood pressure and pulse rate will be assessed with a completely automated device; manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is not available.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a FIH, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of ENN0403 after single and multiple oral dose administration in healthy adult subjects. The study will include 2 parts which will proceed in a parallel staggered manner: Part A, a single ascending dose (SAD) study and Part B, a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study.

Approximately 80 healthy adult subjects will be enrolled at a single site in Australia, in up to 6 cohorts in Part A (SAD study), including a Food Effect (FE) study, and up to 4 cohorts in Part B (MAD study). Part A is for the single dose use of IP, while Part B is once daily use for 14 consecutive days. Each cohort will include 8 subjects (6 receiving ENN0403 and 2 receiving placebo). Each subject will be enrolled in only 1 cohort and receive only one dose regimen in this study.

Dosing will be escalated in a sequential fashion, contingent on a review of safety, tolerability, and available PK data of the previous dose level by a Safety Review Committee (SRC). The proposed dose levels/dosing frequency of ENN0403 may be adjusted over the course of the whole study and cohorts may be added or removed depending on the emerging safety, tolerability, and available PK data.
