Brief summary
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of miricorilant (CORT118335) tablet formulations following single and multiple oral administration in healthy participants.
Detailed description
Cohort 1 will evaluate safety, tolerability, and PK of single doses of a 150-mg and a new 300-mg tablet formulation of miricorilant. Cohort 1 treatment will be randomized and open label. Optional Cohorts 2 and 3 will evaluate single- and repeated-dose administration of miricorilant using a formulation, dose, and dose-regimen determined after interim evaluation of PK and safety data from previous cohorts. Cohort 2 and 3 treatments will be randomized, blinded, and placebo controlled.
Interventions
Miricorilant 300 mg tablets for oral administration
Miricorilant 150 mg tablets for oral administration
Placebo to match miricorilant 150 mg tablets for oral administration
