A Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of E2730 After Multiple Dose and the Food Effect After Single Dose in Healthy Participants

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Healthy Volunteers
Interventions
Drug: E2730-matched placebo
Registration Number
NCT04676685
Lead Sponsor
Eisai Inc.
Brief Summary

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of E2730 of multiple ascending oral doses in healthy adult participants and to assess the differences in PK, safety, and tolerability of E2730 between healthy Japanese and non-Japanese participants following multiple doses. This study will also determine the effect of food on PK of E2730.
