The goal of this interventional study is to assess the safety and tolerability of OlPC and to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of OlPC following single, ascending doses administered orally in healthy-fed subjects.

The trial is a dose escalation trial that follows a 3+3 approach. The sample size is determined by a decision-making algorithm and by the tolerability of the study drug in the study participants. This design follows predetermined rules that help identify notable toxicities in time with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The initial dose will be 50mg OlPC (1 capsule) and participants in subsequent cohorts will receive 100mg (2 capsules), 150mg (3 capsules), 200mg (4 capsules), 250mg (5 capsules), or 300mg (6 capsules) if the previous doses are tolerated. The study ends when the last cohort is completed or when it is determined that a dose (within a cohort) is not tolerable.

Subject incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events at administration and follow-up visits
Time frame: Participants are followed up for 21 days and an additional telephone visit 35 days after drug administration will be conducted before dismissing the participant.
Cmax
Maximum observed concentration in plasma after single dose (µg/mL)
Time frame: 21 days
Tmax
Time of maximum observed concentration (h)
Time frame: 21 days
AUC0-t
Area under the curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration, calculated using the Linear Up / Log Down trapezoidal rule (h\*µg/mL)
Time frame: 21 days
AUC0-24
Area under the curve from time 0 to hour 24 (single-dose only), calculated using the Linear Up / Log Down trapezoidal rule (h\*µg/mL)
Time frame: 21 days
AUC0-inf
Area under the curve from time 0 to infinity (single-dose only), calculated as AUC0-inf = AUC0-t + Ct / λz, where Ct is the last observed quantifiable concentration and λz is the elimination rate constant (h\*µg/mL)
Time frame: 21 days
t1/2
Elimination half-life, calculated as ln(2) / λz (h)
Time frame: 21 days
AUCres
Residual Area: extrapolated area (single-dose) calculated as AUCres = 100 (AUC(0-inf) - AUC(0-t)) / AUC(0-inf)
