Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Healthy Volunteer

In brief

This is a dose escalation study that will be conducted in healthy volunteers. Multiple cohorts of volunteers will receive ascending (increasingly higher) oral doses of AG-348 daily for 14 days to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of AG-348, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple doses of AG-348, and the pharmacodynamic profile of AG-348 with specific biomarkers assessed in the blood.
