Escalating Single-dose Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of SQ109 in Healthy Volunteers

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Tuberculosis

In brief

This is a phase 1, "first in man" study to evaluate single oral doses (5-300 mg) of SQ109, a new investigational drug being developed for treatment of tuberculosis. If single doses are safe and well tolerated, subsequent studies will evaluate multiple daily doses in healthy volunteers and patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
