ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new medication called E1018 to see how safe it is and how the body processes it. The trial will include healthy adults aged 18 to 55 who do not smoke or vape. Researchers want to find out how well the medication is tolerated and how it behaves in the body after taking a single dose.

To participate, individuals must meet certain health criteria, such as having a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 30, and they should not have any significant health issues or allergies that could affect their participation. The study is not currently recruiting participants, but once it starts, those who qualify can expect to take the medication and undergo tests to monitor their health and how the drug works in their bodies. It's important for potential participants to be aware that if they have partners who could become pregnant, they will need to use effective birth control during the study and for a period afterwards.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion criteria:
• • 1. Nonsmoking/vaping, male or female, age greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 years to less than or equal (\<=) 55 years old at the time of informed consent. To be considered nonsmokers, participant must have discontinued smoking/vaping for at least 4 weeks before dosing.
• • 2. Body Mass Index (BMI) \>=18 and less than (\<) 30 kilogram per square meter (kg/m\^2) at Screening.
• Exclusion criteria:
• • 1. Females who are breastfeeding or pregnant at Screening or Baseline (as documented by a positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-hCG\] (or human chorionic gonadotropin \[hCG\]) test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 international units per liter (IU/L) or equivalent units of β-hCG \[or hCG\]). A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the dose of study drug.
• • 2. Females of childbearing potential. All females will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, and without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (that is, bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before dosing).
• • 3. Males who have not had a successful vasectomy (confirmed azoospermia) if their female partners are of childbearing potential and are not willing to use a highly effective contraceptive method, as described below, throughout the study period and for 28 days after study drug discontinuation. If the female partner is pregnant, then males who do not agree to use latex or synthetic condoms throughout the study period and for 28 days after study drug discontinuation. No sperm donation is allowed during the study period and for 28 days after study drug discontinuation. The duration may be expanded further based on the half-life of the study drug calculated in this study.
• • A highly effective method of contraception includes any of the following:
• • total abstinence (if it is their preferred and usual lifestyle)
• • an intrauterine device or intrauterine hormone-releasing system
• • a contraceptive implant
• • an oral contraceptive (the participant's partner must have been on a stable dose of the same oral contraceptive product for at least 28 days before dosing and must agree to stay on the same dose of oral contraceptive throughout the study and for 28 days after study drug discontinuation). It is permissible that if a highly effective method of contraception is not appropriate or acceptable to the participant's partner, then the participant must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception, that is, double-barrier methods of contraception such as latex or synthetic condom plus diaphragm or cervical/vault cap with spermicide. The duration of contraception period may be extended based on the half-life of the study drug calculated in this study.
• • 4. Clinically significant illness that requires medical treatment within 8 weeks or a clinically significant infection that requires medical treatment within 4 weeks of dosing.
• • 5. Presence of concurrent febrile illness(es) at Screening or Baseline.
• • 6. Any history of surgery that may affect PK profiles of E1018 (example, hepatectomy, nephrectomy, digestive organ resection) or participants who have a congenital abnormality in metabolism at Screening.
• • 7. Any clinically abnormal symptom or organ impairment found by medical history at Screening, and physical examinations, vital signs, ECG finding, or laboratory test results that require medical treatment at Screening or Baseline.
• • 8. Left bundle branch block.
• • 9. History of myocardial infarction, active ischemic heart disease, or clinically significant or uncontrolled arrhythmia.
• • 10. Known history of clinically significant drug allergy at Screening.
• • 11. Known history of food allergies or presently experiencing significant seasonal or perennial allergy at Screening.
• • 12. Known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive at Screening.
• • 13. Active viral hepatitis (A, B or C) as demonstrated by positive serology at Screening.
• • 14. History of drug or alcohol dependency or abuse, or those who have a positive urine drug test or breath alcohol test at Screening or Baseline.
• • 15. Currently enrolled in another clinical study or used any investigational drug or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) preceding informed consent.
• • 16. Receipt of blood products within 4 weeks, or donation of blood within 8 weeks, or donation of plasma within 1 week of dosing.
• • 17. A history of noncompliance in any previous study or inability to comply with study conduct, as assessed by the investigator.
• • 18. Any other findings that the investigator feels would increase the risk of having an adverse outcome from participation in the study.
