Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Study of QLM3003 in Healthy Adult Subjects

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending (SAD) doses of QLM3003 compared to placebo. Also, pharmacokinetics (PK) of qlm3003 will be evaluated.Eligible subjects will be assigned to a sequential treatment cohort and randomized to each treatment group (active/placebo ). Subject enrollment will continue into the next cohort after review of the dose safety from the previous dose cohort.
