Brief summary

Exploratory, single-dose, open-label, pharmacokinetic study to establish uptake, plasma levels safety and tolerability of orally administered AUX-001 on an empty stomach (i.e, fasting) as well as after a meal (i.e. fed) in healthy volunteers.

Detailed description

This is a first-in-human, exploratory, single-dose, open-label pharmacokinetic study to explore the uptake, and systemic distribution of orally administered AUX-001 in healthy volunteers on an empty stomach (i.e, fasting) as well as after a meal (i.e. fed) in male and female healthy volunteers age 18 to 55 to establish pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and whether the medication can be given independent of any food effect.

Any medical condition (e.g., gastrointestinal, renal or hepatic, including peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease or pancreatitis) or surgical condition (e.g., cholecystectomy, gastrectomy) that may affect drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion) or subject's safety. 4. History of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. 5. History of severe hypotension or shock. 6. History of acute pulmonary edema, heart failure, coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction. 7. History of orthostatic hypotension, collapse, fainting, syncope, or vasovagal reaction. 8.
