Brief summary

This study will consist of two parts. Double blind Part A will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 7 days of dosing in healthy adults, while open label Part B will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a 2-week treatment course in adults with tinnitus.

Interventions

Inclusion criteria

Part A Inclusion Criteria: 1. Healthy male or female adults aged 18 to 64 years (or 65 to 80 years for an elderly cohort, if enrolled), as determined by the investigator. 2. Able and willing to provide written informed consent and comply with all study procedures. 3. Body mass index (BMI) 18.0 to 35.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m\^2) and body weight greater than (\>) 50 kilogram (kg). 4. Clinically acceptable medical history, physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and 12-lead ECG, as determined by the investigator. 5. QT interval corrected using the Fridericia method (QTcF) of less than or equal to (≤) 450 millisecond (msec) for males or ≤470 msec for females. 6. Nonsmokers or light smokers (\<10 cigarettes/week or equivalent vaping) for at least 3 months before dosing and willing to abstain during confinement. 7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use highly effective contraception throughout the required study period. 8. Male participants must agree to use appropriate contraception and refrain from sperm donation for the required study period. Part B Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female adults aged 18 to 64 years. 2. Able and willing to provide written informed consent and comply with study procedures. 3. Diagnosis of subjective, stable, chronic, non-pulsatile tinnitus. 4. Generally healthy aside from tinnitus, with no clinically significant abnormalities on medical history, physical or neurologic examination, vital signs, laboratory tests, or ECG that would interfere with study participation. 5. BMI 18.0 to 35.0 kg/m\^2 and body weight \>50 kg. 6. Willing to discontinue prohibited medications and substances before study treatment and throughout study participation. 7. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use highly effective contraception throughout the required study period. 8. Male participants must agree to use appropriate contraception and refrain from sperm donation for the required study period.
