This is an interventional treatment trial for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female (non-childbearing potential) subjects between age 18 and 55 years (inclusive), in general good health without clinically significant abnormalities.

2. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential will be authorized to participate in this study if at least one of the following criteria are met:

   1. Surgical sterilization (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and/or bilateral salpingectomy, but excluding bilateral tubal occlusion);
   2. Achieved postmenopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; and have a serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level confirming the post-menopausal state (with a single repeat permitted if deemed necessary by the investigator); and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) is negative at screening and the admission.
3. Body mass index (BMI) of 18-32 kg/m2 (inclusive), and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lb).
4. Clinical laboratory values within the normal limits as defined by the clinical laboratory. Of note, individual values out of normal range can be accepted if judged as not clinically significant by the investigator. Repeat assessment can be conducted at the discretion of the investigator or delegate.
5. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with the prescribed protocol treatment and evaluations.
6. Subjects must provide signed written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects with any of the following characteristics or conditions will not be included in the study:

1. Evidence or history of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric, neurologic, or allergic disease (including drug allergies).
2. History of drug abuse in the past 5 years, or a positive urine drug test at screening or the admission.
3. History of excessive alcohol intake exceeding 14 drinks/week (1 drink = 5 ounces [150 mL] of wine, or 12 ounces [360 mL] of beer, or 1.5 ounces [45 mL] of hard liquor) within 6 months of screening, or a positive alcohol breath test at screening or the admission.
4. Current smoker, or difficulty abstaining from smoking for the duration of study confinement.
5. Treatment with an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication.
6. Use of prescription or nonprescription drugs or dietary supplements within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study medication; however, limited use of nonprescription medications that are not believed to affect the overall results of the study may be permitted on a case by case basis following approval by the investigator and the Sponsor.
7. Previous participation in this study; subjects can only be randomized and receive the study medication in 1 of the 2 parts in this study.
8. Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption per the principal investigator's discretion (e.g., gastrectomy).
9. Screening supine systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg. If SBP ≥140 mmHg or DBP ≥90 mmHg, the blood pressure assessment should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 blood pressure values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
10. Screening supine 12-lead ECG demonstrating a QTcF (using Fridericia's formula, QTcF = QT/RR1/3) interval >450 msec for males or >470 msec for females,or a QRS interval >120 msec. If QTcF >450 msec or QRS >120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTcF or QRS values should be used to determine the subject's eligibility.
11. Subjects with history of hepatitis, or positive result at screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HepBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (HepBcAb), hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb), or human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIVAb).
12. Pregnant female subjects; breastfeeding female subjects; male subjects able to father children who are unable to use a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study medication.
13. Blood donation (excluding plasma donations) of approximately 450 mL or more within 60 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
14. History of sensitivity to heparin or heparin induced thrombocytopenia (if heparin is used to flush intravenous catheters used during serial blood collections).
15. Unwilling or unable to comply with this study protocol.
16. Any other medical or psychiatric condition that may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for study participation.
