This study is testing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK, the amount of study drug in the blood) of a new drug called CC-42344.Up to 78 healthy men or women aged between 18-55 are planned to be enrolled in this study in two parts.~Part 1 will involve a single-ascending (increasing) dose (SAD) where 32 participants (4 groups of 8) will be assigned randomly to receive a single oral dose of the study drug or placebo. The placebo will look the same as the study drug but will not contain any medicine. An additional 6 participants will receive a single oral dose of CC-42344 to help further understand the effect of food on the uptake of the drug.~Part 2: will involve a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) where 40 participants (5 groups of 8) will be randomized to receive an oral dose of study drug or placebo given once a day for 14 days, once a day for 5 days, or twice a day for 5 days. The placebo will look the same as the study drug but will not contain any medicine.
