The first phase assesses single ascending doses for EDP 305 (active drug or placebo) in healthy subjects. A fasted and fed two-part cohort will also assess food effect.~The second phase assesses multiple ascending doses (active drug or placebo) for 14-days in healthy subjects and also in subjects with presumptive NAFLD (i.e., obese subjects with or without prediabetes or T2DM).~Each cohort within each phase will enroll a total of 8 subjects who will be randomized to receive EDP-305 or placebo. The cohort assessing food effect will enroll 10 subjects randomized to receive EDP-305 or placebo.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple orally administered doses of EDP-305 in healthy adult subjects, and adult subjects with presumptive NAFLD (i.e., obese subjects with or without prediabetes or T2DM).
