Pruritus
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective is to confirm the target receptor occupancy of SK-1405 and to correlate receptor occupancy with SK-1405 dose and plasma concentration. The secondary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of SK-1405 in healthy, Caucasian, male subjects.
