A Phase 1 study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a new oxazolidinone antibiotic. In Part 1 cohorts of healthy adults will participate in a single dose escalation study of increasing intravenous doses of MRX-4. In Part 2 cohorts of healthy adults will participate in a multiple dose escalation study of increasing intravenous doses of MRX-4 given twice daily for ten days. Part 3 is a crossover study of oral MRX-4 versus a comparable intravenous dose of MRX-4 to determine bioavailability.
