Brief summary

This study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (the way the body absorbs the drug) and to determine what the safest that can be used.

Interventions

EMA401 powder hand-filled into hard gelatin capsules. 4 out of 6 subjects in each cohort will take a single oral dose of the EMA401 following an overnight fast. There are 6 cohorts with dose levels of 100mg, 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, 800mg, 1000mg. One dose level (cohort) will be asked to return to repeat the study with the drug being taken following a standard meal.
