MAX-001-101 Stage 1 is part of a two-part study within which parts 1 (formulation selection) and 2 (food effect assessment) will be conducted sequentially. Each study part will involve unique participants. Part 1: Formulation Selection Using a cross over design, a total of 14 participants will each receive a single oral administration of each of 3 different formulations of MAX-001 and single oral administration of the reference formulation. Administered doses of each of the 4 formulations will be 30mg MAX-001 ER1, 30mg MAX-001 ER2, 30mg MAX-001 ER3, and 30mg IR. The wash-out period between each single dose administration is 1 week. Healthy volunteers will stay in the clinical research unit for the entire duration of dosing and will take study drug under direct supervision of the clinical research unit staff. Part 2: Food Effect A total of 20 participants will be enrolled across two cohorts to each receive a single oral administration of two formulations selected from Part 1 with and without food. The wash-out period between each single dose administration is 1 week. Each oral administration is to occur either after a 10 hour overnight fast or 30 minutes after the ingestion of a high calorie and high-fat breakfast. The standardised meal will be the standard US Food and Drug Administration high-fat, high calorie (800 to 1000 calories) breakfast. Healthy volunteers will stay in the clinical research unit for the entire duration of dosing and will take study drug under direct supervision of the clinical research unit staff.
