This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and food effect of single oral doses of TRX-100 tablets and capsules in healthy adult volunteers. Up to 32 participants will be enrolled in four cohorts and randomized within each cohort to receive TRX-100 or matching placebo.
This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study of single oral doses of TRX-100 tablets and capsules in healthy male and female volunteers 18 to 65 years of age. The study evaluates safety, tolerability, the pharmacokinetics of TRX-100 and its active metabolite TRX-101, and the effect of food on pharmacokinetics. Up to 32 participants will be enrolled in four cohorts of 8 participants each. Within each cohort, participants will be randomized 6:2 to receive TRX-100 or matching placebo. Cohort A will receive 240 mg TRX-100 tablets or matching placebo under fed conditions. Cohort B will receive 480 mg TRX-100 tablets or matching placebo under fasted conditions. Cohort C will receive 480 mg TRX-100 tablets or matching placebo under fed conditions. Cohort D will receive 480 mg TRX-100 capsules or matching placebo under fed conditions. Cohorts A and B may be dosed in parallel. Cohort C will begin only after the Safety Review Committee has reviewed available blinded safety data and initial pharmacokinetic data from Cohort A and confirmed that exposure levels are acceptable. Cohort D will begin after completion of Cohort C. Participants will be confined at the clinical facility from Day -1 through Day 4 and will return for outpatient safety and pharmacokinetic assessments through the end-of-study visit on Day 28 (±2 days). The food effect at 480 mg will be evaluated primarily by comparing Cohort B under fasted conditions with Cohort C under fed conditions; data from Cohort D under fed conditions will also be used.

TRX-100 will be administered as a single oral dose on Day 1 with approximately 240 mL of noncarbonated room-temperature water. Active treatment is administered as 240 mg tablets in Cohort A, 480 mg tablets in Cohorts B and C, and 480 mg capsules in Cohort D. Study drug must be swallowed whole and must not be chewed, divided, dissolved, or crushed.
Matching tablet or capsule placebo will be administered as a single oral dose on Day 1 under the same meal and administration conditions as the corresponding active-treatment cohort.
