Study Description

Brief Summary:

The study will consist of 2 parts, i.e. a single ascending dose part with integrated food effect assessment and assessment of relative bioavailability (Part A), and a multiple ascending dose part (Part B).

Part A will have a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Subjects will receive single ascending doses of CFTX-1554 or placebo (as liquid formulation under fasted condition) in 7 subsequent cohorts. Drug intake under fed conditions, and as capsule under fasted conditions and under fed conditions (Periods 2 to 4), compared to liquid formulation under fasted conditions (Period 1) (1 single dose level only) will be assessed.

Part B will have a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, assessing multiple ascending oral doses of CFTX-1554 or placebo in 4 subsequent cohorts.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Part A: CFTX-1554 Single Ascending Dose (SAD); Up to 7 dose levels with CFTX-1554 administered as oral liquid formulation under fasted conditions (at 1 single dose level only, drug intake under fed conditions, and as capsule under fasted conditions and under fed conditions, will be assessed)	Drug: CFTX-1554; CFTX-1554 is a new chemical entity that binds to the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R).
Placebo Comparator: Part A placebo; Single placebo administration in study Part A	Drug: Placebo; CFTX-1554 matching placebo
Experimental: Part B: CFTX-1554 Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD); Up to 4 dose levels with CFTX-1554 in Part B. Doses and dosing frequency will be decided based on the results of study Part A.	Drug: CFTX-1554; CFTX-1554 is a new chemical entity that binds to the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R).
Placebo Comparator: Part B placebo; Multiple placebo administration in study Part B	Drug: Placebo; CFTX-1554 matching placebo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Day -1 through Day 13 (Single Ascending Dose study part) or Day 26 (Multiple Ascending Dose study part) ]
   Number of Participants With Adverse Events Following Oral Administration of CFTX-1554 in SAD (Part A) and MAD (Part B)
