About this trial
This study will test an oral medicine called BLX-0871, which is being developed to improve metabolic health by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of energy balance. The main goal is to see if BLX-0871 is safe and well tolerated when given to healthy adults. The study will also measure how the body processes BLX-0871, including how quickly it is absorbed, how long it stays in the blood, and how it is eliminated. Another objective is to see whether food affects the absorption of BLX-0871. It will also look at how the drug affects the body by looking at markers of AMPK activity.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of participants who experienced Adverse Events (AEs)
The safety and tolerability of oral BLX-0871 administration will be evaluated based on the incidence of adverse effects in subjects, as assessed according to CTCAE v5.0. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
Number of participants who experienced Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
The safety and tolerability of oral BLX-0871 administration will be evaluated based on the incidence of SAE in subjects, as assessed according to CTCAE v5.0. The number of participants who experience a SAE will be reported.
Number of participants who experienced Treatment-Related Adverse Avents (TRAEs)
The safety and tolerability of oral BLX-0871 administration will be evaluated based on the incidence of TRAEs in subjects, as assessed according to CTCAE v5.0. The number of participants who experience a TRAE will be reported.
Secondary outcomes
Assess maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax)
Evaluate the relative bioavailability of BLX-0871 in single, food effect, and multiple ascending doses in healthy adults
Assess time to maximum concentration (Tmax)
Evaluate the relative bioavailability of BLX-0871 in single, food effect, and multiple ascending doses in healthy adults
Assess the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf)
Evaluate the relative bioavailability of BLX-0871 in single, food effect, and multiple ascending doses in healthy adults
Assess the area under the concentration curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)
Evaluate the relative bioavailability of BLX-0871 in single, food effect, and multiple ascending doses in healthy adults
