A Safety and Tolerability Evaluation of Ascending Single Oral Doses of Metacavir Enteric-coated Capsules Using a Randomized，Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Design conducted in Chinese Healthy Adult Volunteers.

A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending single oral doses of metacavir enteric-coated capsules using a placebo-controlled design conducted in Chinese healthy adult volunteers, and to provide references for the clinical trial of the next phase Ⅰ and Ⅱ.

48 eligible healthy subjects are involved. According to the set ascending-doses groups, subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 proportion to orally take a single dose of Metacavir enteric-coated capsule or placebo on the condition of fasting.

All subjects check in the phaseⅠresearch center one day early before taking the test drug. Vital signs and ECG will be observed before and 0.5,1,2,4,8,12,18,24,48,72 hours after administration and at the follow-up day which is the 7th day since administration.
