A Phase 1 Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of GC4711 (Oral Capsule) Compared to GC4419 (IV Infusion) and GC4711 (IV Infusion) in Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of the phase 1, GTO-003 clinical study is to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of a new drug called GC4711 when given as an oral capsule. This study will compare capsules of GC4711 when given orally to a similar drug, GC4419, or GC4711 when either is given as an intravenous infusion.
