Summary
This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study of TRX-100 tablets evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and food effect of single ascending doses of TRX-100 in healthy volunteers. Participants will be enrolled in two cohorts evaluating two dose levels. Each cohort will use a two period design to assess the effect of food (fed vs fasted conditions) on the PK of TRX-100. A total of up to 16 healthy volunteers are planned to be enrolled across 2 cohorts.

Interventions
The study drug is TRX-100 oral tablets. There are 2 cohorts in the study: - Cohort A: 8 participants will receive one dose of either TRX-100 240 mg or matching placebo under fed conditions followed by one dose under fasted conditions with a 28 day washout period in between. For fed conditions, participants will be provided a high fat high calorie breakfast consisting of two fried eggs, two rashers of bacon, two slices of toast with butter, two hash browns and 1 cup of full cream milk. For fasted condition, participants will be required to fast overnight for 10 hours. - Cohort B: 8 participants will receive one dose of either TRX-100 480 mg or matching placebo under fed conditions followed by one dose under fasted conditions with a 28 day washout period in between. For fed conditions, participants will be provided a high fat high calorie breakfast consisting of two fried eggs, two rashers of bacon, two slices of toast with butter, two hash browns and 1 cup of full cream milk. For fasted condition, participants will be required to fast overnight for 10 hours. Proceeding to Cohort B will be dependent on Safety review committee's (SRC) review of safety and PK data of previous Cohort. Participants will be dosed as in-patients and adherence will be monitored by site staff.
