Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo as a tablet or capsule with dose based off of preceding cohort's data.
|
Drug: GBT021601
Administered orally with water as a single dose in the morning.
Other Name: Placebo |
Experimental: GBT021601
GBT021601 as a tablet or capsule with dose based off of preceding cohort's data.

- Safety, as assessed by frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A, 134 days from screening Part B ]AEs will be coded to system organ class and preferred term using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and summarized.
- Safety, as assessed by changes in Heart Rate. [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A, 134 days from screening Part B ]Number of participants with changes in heart rate (bpm) as compared to baseline.
- Safety, as assessed by changes in eGFR [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A, 134 days from screening Part B ]Number of participants with changes in eGFR from baseline
- Safety, as assessed by changes in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A, 134 days from screening Part B ]Number of participants with changes in alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
- Safety, as assessed by changes in Blood pressure [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A, 134 days from screening Part B ]Number of participants with changes in systolic (mmHg) and diastolic (mmHg) blood
- Plasma concentration [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A ]Time of Cmax
- Plasma concentration [ Time Frame: 134 days from screening Part B ]Cmax on D1-D15
- Determine whole blood concentration of GBT021601 [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A ]Hemoximetry will be used to assess oxygen saturation in whole blood by generating oxygen equilibrium curves (OECs) which relate the extent of Hb-O2 saturation to the partial pressure of O2 (pO2) and measure the binding affinity of O2 to Hb.
- Determine plasma concentration of GBT021601. [ Time Frame: 134 days from screening Part B ]With dosing data from each cohort determine the steady-state maximum plasma/whole blood concentration (Cmax).
- Safety, as assessed by changes in QTcF [ Time Frame: 119 days from screening Part A, 134 days from screening Part B ]Number of participants with changes in the QTcF interval from baseline
