Study of 9cUAB30 in Healthy Participants

• Toxicity [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
• Correlation of pharmacokinetics with toxicity [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

This research study is looking at 9cUAB30 in healthy participants. Studying samples of blood and urine from healthy participants may help doctors learn more about how 9cUAB30 is used by the body

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To characterize the single-dose pharmacokinetics of 9cUAB30 in healthy volunteers.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the toxicities of this drug in these participants. II. To correlate the pharmacokinetics with the toxicity of this drug in these participants.

OUTLINE:

Participants receive a single dose of oral 9cUAB30 on day 1. Blood and urine samples are collected at baseline, periodically on day 1, and then on day 8 for pharmacokinetic studies by high performance liquid chromatography.

After completion of treatment, participants are followed at days 8 and 30.
