This study was divided into three studies, namely, a single administration study, a food impact study, and a multiple administration study.
Single-dose study:Eight single-dose cohorts (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg, and 1000mg) were planned, as described in the table below. In the first and second dose groups (25 mg and 50 mg), a single oral dose of MI078 capsules was given to 1 male and 2 females in a single-center, open-label design. The tolerance and safety of MI078 capsules were evaluated. Dose groups 3-8 were designed in a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Each dose group was planned to enroll 8-10 volunteers, half male and half female (see the table below for details). On the basis of PK and safety data, the actual dose escalation could be adjusted accordingly.
Food Impact Studies:This study adopted a randomized, open, two-sequence, two-cycle crossover design, and the 400 mg dose was selected for the food impact test. Fourteen healthy volunteers, both male and female, were randomly divided into two sequence groups according to the fasting - postprandial and postprandial - fasting administration methods. Each sequence group had 7 volunteers and was divided into two cycles. All volunteers were required to be hospitalized from 1 day before administration to 72 h after administration (day 4). During this hospitalization, volunteers were required to complete the collection of pharmacokinetic samples (blood samples, collection to 72 h after administration). All volunteers could be discharged after the collection of the above biological samples and the corresponding safety assessment. After a washing period of at least 7 days, the second cycle of PK test could be carried out. The collection of PK blood samples and the corresponding safety check in the second cycle were the same as those in the first cycle.
Multiple dosing studies:The multiple-dose study was a single-center, multi-dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. A total of 30 healthy volunteers (half male and half female) were planned to be enrolled. When the higher-dose arm of the single-dose study had been evaluated for tolerability, the multiple-dose study with a sublower dose could proceed. The dose for this study could be adjusted to 250mg for group 3 based on safety and PK data (blinded) from the completed study results (200mg and 400mg groups). MI078 capsules or placebo were administered to 10 volunteers in each of three dose cohorts.

Placebo of MI078 Capsule
Incidence, severity, and causality of AEs, SAEs
Clinical safety assessments will be conducted for all spontaneously reported and directly observed adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). AEs should also include abuse-related AEs (such as insomnia, sedation, hallucinations, tremors, and dissociative states) and withdrawal reactions (including headache, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, tremors, decreased attention, irritability, anger, and sleep disturbances).
Time frame: up to 72 hours after the last dose
vital signs
Any abnormal changes in vital signs
Time frame: up to 72 hours after the last dose
SpO₂
Any abnormal changes in SpO₂ (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation)
Time frame: up to 72 hours after the last dose
12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)
HR, RR interval, PR interval, QRS complex duration,QTcF=QT/(RR\^0.33)

Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation Scale(MOAA/S)
MOAA/S scale is a validated 6-point scale assessing the responsiveness of patients, coinciding with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) continuum of sedation。The scale rates patient responsiveness as follows: 5:Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone 4:Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone 3:Responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly 2:Responds only after mild prodding or shaking 1:Responds only after painful trapezius squeeze 0:Does not respond to painful trapezius squeeze
Time frame: up to 72 hours after the last dose
Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS)
The Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) is a widely used self-assessment tool designed to measure subjective levels of sleepiness or alertness. It consists of a 7-point scale that allows individuals to rate their current level of alertness or sleepiness. The scale is as follows: 1. Feeling active, vital, alert, or wide awake 2. Functioning at a high level, but not at peak; able to concentrate 3. Awake, but relaxed; responsive but not fully alert 4. A little foggy; not at best 5. Foggy; losing interest in remaining awake; slowed down 6. Sleepy, woozy, fighting sleep; prefer to lie down 7. No longer fighting sleep, sleep onset soon; having dream-like thoughts
Time frame: up to 72 hours after the last dose
Plasma Concentrations of MI078
PK Parameters of MI078 will be assessed.
Time frame: up to 72 hours after the last dose
