About this trial
This is a first-in-human (FIH study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects of AKB-9090 in healthy adult participants. The study consists of two stages: Stage 1, a single ascending dose (SAD) phase with four dose cohorts, and Stage 2, a multiple ascending dose (MAD) phase with one dose cohort. Approximately 32 participants in SAD and 12 in MAD are planned to be enrolled.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Healthy adult participants with no clinically significant findings, as judged by the investigator, based on physical examination, 12-lead ECG, alcohol breath test, and clinical laboratory tests (including serum chemistry, hematology, coagulation, urine drug screen, and urinalysis).

In the Investigator's opinion, willing and able to provide written informed consent and comply with the all protocol requirements, including required confinement, outpatient visits, and protocol-specified restrictions (including refraining from major lifestyle changes) from signature of the informed consent form (ICF) through the last study visit.
