The study includes a sequential cohort design that is intended to optimize subject safety and assess tolerability, safety, and PK of SKL24741. In the single-dose escalation part of the study (Part A), tolerability, safety, and PK of SKL24741 will be assessed in healthy male subjects under fasting conditions. At an appropriate dose based on PK results, additional cohorts will be repeated with the subjects under fed conditions, in order to evaluate the magnitude on the disposition of SKL24741. To assess the gender effect on the disposition of SKL24741, female subjects will be treated at one dose level under fasting conditions. A preliminary formulation effect may be assessed in a cohort of subjects to compare the capsule versus tablet formulation on the disposition of SKL24741.~Part A Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single oral ascending doses of SKL24741 administered to healthy male subjects~Part A Secondary Objectives:~To evaluate the PK of SKL24741 (R-enantiomer), SKL24742 (S-enantiomer) (if appropriate), and its possible metabolites (if deemed necessary) following administration of single oral ascending doses of SKL24741 administered to healthy male subjects~To assess the food effect on the PK of SKL24741 and SKL24742 (if appropriate) following administration of a single oral dose of SKL24741 administered to healthy male subjects~To assess the gender effect on the PK of SKL24741 and SKL24742 (if appropriate) following administration of a single oral dose of SKL24741 administered to healthy female subjects~Part A Exploratory Objective: To assess the formulation effect on the PK of SKL24741 and SKL24742 (if appropriate) following administration of a single oral dose of SKL24741 administered to healthy male subjects~Part B Primary Objective: To evaluate safety and tolerability of multiple oral ascending doses of SKL24741 administered for 14 days to healthy male subjects~Part B Secondary Objective: To evaluate the PK of SKL24741, SKL24742 (if appropriate), and its possible metabolites (if deemed necessary) following administration of multiple oral ascending doses of SKL24741 administered to healthy male subjects
This study evaluates SKL24741 safety and tolerability in healthy subjects. Subjects will be randomized to receive oral doses of SKL24741 or placebo. This is a two-part, double-blinded, randomized study of SKL24741.
