This study will dose healthy human volunteers with either active drug (4ET1103) or placebo. Each study subject will receive a single dose of either active drug or placebo, and will then be monitored for safety, tolerability and exposure of active drug.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SAD study conducted in approximately 40 healthy male and female volunteers. The study drug (4ET1103 or placebo) will be administered orally under fasting condition. 40 subjects (8 subjects/cohort) will participate across 5 dose cohorts (45, 135, 270, 450 and 720 mg) of 4ET1103.
1,287 studies on the registry are indexed under Neuralgia; 256 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 52 across 973 interventional studies indexed under Neuralgia.

Female subjects with male partners must meet one of the following criteria:
Surgically sterile for at least 3 months prior to Screening by one of the following means:
Postmenopausal, defined as the following:
Exclusion Criteria:
Seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) not within the range of 90 mmHg to 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) not within the range of 50 mmHg to 90 mmHg at Screening or Day 1.
Note: If a subject fails to meet SBP and/or DBP criteria, optional repeat visits/measurements can, at the discretion of the Investigator, to be completed. For those subjects who have a repeat blood pressure measurement, the repeat value will be used to determine eligibility.
Any clinically significant ECG abnormality at Screening (as deemed by the Investigator).

Plan to share: No — Individual participant data will not be shared. Data contain proprietary information about an investigational new drug and cannot be disclosed prior to regulatory approval. Patient confidentiality also prohibits sharing due to detailed clinical and pharmacokinetic data from a small cohort.
