- Brief Summary
This Phase 1 study consists of two parts, all conducted in healthy volunteers (HVs). In Parts 1 and 2, the drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of ALG-055009 will be explored, where subjects will be assigned to receive multiple doses of ALG-055009 and 2 single doses of one of the following concomitant drugs: atorvastatin (Part 1), or rosuvastatin (Part 2, optional).
