Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending oral doses (MAD) of GLPG0492 given to healthy subjects for 14 days compared to placebo, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GLPG0492 after multiple oral administrations.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GLPG0492 in terms of adverse events, vital signs, ECG and abnormal lab tests in comparison with placebo | Up to 2 weeks after last treatment | Occurrence of adverse events, vital signs, ECG and abnormal lab tests as a measure of safety and tolerability |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To determine the pharmacokinetic profile and metabolism after single and multiple doses of GLPG0492 | Up to 2h hours after last treatment | The plasma levels of GLPG0492 will be determined as a measure of pharmacokinetics, and the plasma and urine levels of GLPG0492 will be used for metabolism investigation |
| To assess whether GLPG0492 induces CYP450, a pharmacodynamic marker by measuring the ratio of β-OH-cortisol /cortisol in urine | Up to 24 hours after last treatment | To assess the potential of daily doses of GLPG0492 to induce cytochrome P450(CYP3A4), a pharmacodynamic marker, by measurement of the ratio of β-OH-cortisol /cortisol in urine |
