Brief summary

The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetic (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD), and explore the food effect of M5049 in healthy male and female participants.

Interventions

DRUGM5049

Participants will receive single ascending oral dose of M5049 in Part A. Participants will receive multiple ascending oral dose of M5049 once daily for 14 days or twice daily for 13 days followed by a single dose on Day 14 in the morning in Part B. Participants will receive a single oral dose of M5049 under fed conditions in Part C.

DRUGPlacebo

Participants will receive placebo matched to M5049.
