Study Assessing Single and Multiple Doses of IDX21459 in Healthy and HCV-Infected Subjects
- Registration Number
- NCT02112942
- Lead Sponsor
- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
- Brief Summary
- A multi-part study to evaluate the safety and PK of single ascending doses of IDX21549 in healthy and HCV-infected subjects. The effect of food on the PK of IDX21549 will also be evaluated. Antiviral activity will also be assessed in HCV-infected subjects.
