8 to 10 patients aged 18 years and older, diagnosed with MEAK will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be administered a single dose of AUT00201 and matching placebo in a crossover design. The study is comprised of an outpatient screening and procedure orientation followed by approximately 4.5 days of an inpatient stay at a clinical research unit. After screening/orientation (Visit 1), and baseline assessments (Visit 2), patients will be administered a single dose of 100 mg of AUT00201 or matching placebo the morning of Visit 3. PK assessments will be done at Visits 3, 4, 5, and 6 from predose and up to 27 hours postdose. Visit 4 will be a washout day for patients. At Visit 5 patients will be administered the crossover treatment. At Visit 6 patients will be discharged from the unit. Safety and tolerability assessments will be conducted throughout. PD parameters will also be assessed. Patients will be followed up by telephone 14 days after discharge.
