Treatment and study plan

GNS-3545

Drug

GNS-3545 will be administered as oral tablets at assigned dose levels to six of the eight participants within each cohort in Part 1 (SAD) and Part 2 (MAD).

In Part 1, participants will receive a single dose on one occasion (Day 1). In Part 2, participants will receive daily dosing for 14 consecutive days.

GNS-3545 Placebo

Drug

The placebo will be administered as oral tablets identical in appearance to the GNS-3545 tablets to two of the eight participants within each cohort in Part 1 (SAD) and Part 2 (MAD).

In Part 1, participants will receive a single placebo dose on one occasion (Day 1).

In Part 2, participants will receive once-daily placebo doses for 14 consecutive days.

Primary outcomes

  1. Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Collection of TEAEs occurs from the point of first dose administration (Day 1 in each part) through to study completion (up to 8 days from the first dosing for Part 1 & up to 8 days from the last dosing for Part 2).
