Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GRT7041 in healthy male and female (Women of non-childbearing potential) participants.

The trial duration will be up to approximately 6 weeks for participants in Part 1 (Single ascending dose [SAD]), except for participants taking part in the food effect cohort SAD3 where the trial duration will be up to approximately 8 weeks. The trial duration will be up to approximately 7 weeks in Part 2 (Multiple ascending dose [MAD]), and the Treatment Period will be up to 14 days (for Part 2).

The trial will include a Screening Visit, an in-house stay period and Follow-up (FU) Visit/End-of-Trial (EoT) Visit.

Detailed Description

The trial will consist of two parts: * Part 1: SAD with up to five cohorts SAD1 to SAD5 (n = 40). To be conducted in adult males and women of non-childbearing potential (WONCBP). * Part 2: MAD with up to three cohorts, MAD1 to MAD3 (n = 30) dosed once daily (QD) for a period of 14 days. To be conducted in adult males only. The trial design also evaluate the potential interaction of GRT7041 with a CYP3A4 index substrate that will be assessed separately in all cohorts in Part 2 (MAD) of the trial. Dosing in Parts 1 and 2 will be conducted under fasted conditions, except for the SAD3 cohort in Part 1 (SAD), where participants will also receive a standardized breakfast (SAD3b treatment) to assess the effect of food.

  • Participants must sign the ICF before any trial-related assessments.
  • The participant is in good health as judged by the Investigator including medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, vital signs (pulse rate, respiratory rate, systolic and diastolic BP), body temperature, and clinical laboratory parameters (clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation and urinalysis) without clinically relevant deviations from reference ranges, unless further specified in the

Exclusion Criteria

  • Main Exclusion Criteria:
  • History of any of the following: cardiac impairment, renal impairment, pancreatitis, coagulation abnormalities.
  • Any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk for treatment complications/ participation in the trial unsafe.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of participants with Adverse Events

Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 8 Weeks

An AE is defined as any unfavorable medical occurrence in a trial participant administered the investigational product. Assessment of the safety and tolerability of GRT7041 after oral single and multiple-dose escalation

Number of participants with Serious Adverse Events

Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 8 Weeks

A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: * Results in death, is life-threatening, or requires (or prolongs) hospitalization; * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; * Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect; or * Is considered medically significant, requiring intervention to prevent one of the outcomes above. * Investigator judgment applies to other clinically important events that may not be immediately life-threatening but could jeopardize participant safety. Assessment of the safety and tolerability of GRT7041 after oral single and multiple-dose escalation
