Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability | 1 month | The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SPI-1005 (ebselen) in healthy subjects. Incidence and severity of Adverse Events were determined in all treatment and placebo groups. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pharmacokinetics of SPI-1005 and its major metabolites in healthy subjects | 24 hours | Evaluate the single dose pharmacokinetic profile of SPI-1005 in healthy subjects including Tmax, Cmax, of the parent compound and major metabolites. |
