Study Evaluating Safety and Tolerability of Escalating Single and Multiple Doses of PIPE-791 and Food Effect in Healthy Volunteers

This is a randomized, double-blind study of PIPE-791 or placebo given as single and multiple escalating doses in normal healthy subjects. The study will be conducted in three parts: Part 1 will be a Single Ascending Dose (SAD) study enrolling approximately 48 subjects for a total duration of 6 weeks. Part 2 will be a Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) study enrolling approximately 32 subjects for a total duration of 7 weeks, and part 3 will be a selected SAD cohort in a fed state to evaluate the effect of food on the bioavailability of PIPE-791, enrolling approximately 8 subjects for a duration of 6 weeks.
