A Phase 1 Study of ANJ900 Chinese Healthy Subjects

This will be a Phase 1, randomised, open label, 3 way crossover study in healthy male and female Chinese subjects. Subjects will participate in 3 treatment periods and will be randomised in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment sequences. There will be a washout period of 7 days between doses.

All subjects will receive each of the following treatments:

• Treatment 1: A single dose of 1800 mg ANJ900 in the fasted state.
• Treatment 2: A single dose of 1800 mg ANJ900 in the fed state.
• Treatment 3: A single dose of 1000 mg metformin IR in the fasted state. Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 14 days prior to the first dose administration. Subjects will be admitted into the study site on Days 1, 7, and 14 and will be confined to the study site until discharge on Days 3, 10, and 17 respectively.
