Study to Evaluate IMG-004 in Healthy Participants

The study is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of orally administered IMG-004 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses in healthy participants, in which 8 dosing cohort levels are planned to be evaluated. Food Effect of IMG-004 will also be evaluated in single oral dose of IMG-004 in healthy participants

Inclusion criteria

• Male participants must agree to practice true abstinence; be surgically sterilized (performed at least 6 months prior and documented to no longer produce sperm - verbal confirmation through medical history review acceptable); or agree to use a condom plus ensure use of effective contraception by their female partner of childbearing potential (ie, established use of hormonal contraception - started at least 30 days before Day 1; or placement or an intrauterine device or intrauterine system, diaphragm with spermicide or cervical sponge with spermicide) from screening and for at least 30 days after dosing and refrain from donating sperm during this period. Contraception requirements do not apply for participants in an exclusively same-sex relationship or if their female partner is of non-childbearing potential. Males with pregnant partners may participate if they agree to use a barrier method of contraception.

• Participant has an active infection or history of infections as follows:

• Acute infection requiring treatment with oral antibiotics, anti-virals, anti-parasitics, anti-protozoal, or anti-fungals within 14 days before the Baseline visit.
• A serious infection, defined as requiring hospitalization or intravenous anti-microbial therapy within 2 months prior to Baseline visit.

• Having evidence of active or latent or inadequately treated infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) as defined by the following:

• Positive Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) (with one of the following acceptable assays: QuantiFERON(R)-TB Gold (QFT-G) test, T-SPOT TB, QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT)) performed during Screening or within 3 months prior to Day 1. OR

• Absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1,500/μL or absolute lymphocyte count ≤ 800/μL, or eosinophil count > 700/μL, platelet counts < 100 × 109/L, hemoglobin < ULN, or any abnormal evaluations judged clinically significant by the Investigator (or medically qualified designee) at the Screening or Baseline visits. A single repeat of laboratory tests is permissible at Screening and Baseline, if deemed required by PI or medically qualified designee.
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) ≥ values of more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), which remains similar upon repeat, at the Screening or Baseline visits.

• Participants with Creatinine clearance rate < 80 mL/min as determined by the Cockcroft Gault formula, which remains similar upon repeat, at the Screening or Baseline visits.
• Closure time testing or platelet aggregometry testing (to monitor platelet function) outside of reference range at Screening or Baseline visit.
• QTcF greater than 450 msec (males) or greater than 470 msec (females) at Screening or Baseline visit (if out of range, repeat twice and average the 3 readings for eligibility purposes) or deemed clinically significant by the Investigator (or medically qualified designee).
• Screening ECG with QRS and/or T-wave judged to be unfavorable for a consistently accurate QT measurement as judged by the Investigator (or medically qualified designee).
