A Study Of Zy-19489 Administered Via Oral Route To Investigate The Safety, Tolerability And Pharmacokinetics In Healthy Adult Human Subjects

A Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel, Placebo-Control, Study Of ZY-19489 Administered Via Oral Route To Investigate The Safety, Tolerability And Pharmacokinetics In Healthy Adult Human Subjects aged between 18-55 years old (Both Inclusive).

Study will conduct in two parts. In Part 1; single cohort of 8 subjects. Subjects will be enrolled within a 28 day screening period to ensure subjects meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects will be randomized in a ratio of 6:2 to receive single dose of ZY-19489 or placebo orally after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.

In Part 2: study each cohort containing eight subjects will be given either a ZY19489 capsule or placebo for three consecutive days. Total three cohorts are planned in this study. Dose escalation will be performed for subsequent cohorts.

6. History of malignancy of any organ system treated or untreated, within 5 years of screening, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
7. Subjects with history of schizophrenia, bi-polar disease, psychoses, disorders requiring lithium, attempted or planned suicide, or any other severe (disabling) chronic psychiatric diagnosis.
8. Subjects who have received psychiatric medications within 1 year prior to enrolment, or who have been hospitalized within 5 years prior to enrolment for either a psychiatric illness or due to danger to self or others.
9. History of more than one previous episode of major depression, any previous single episode of major depression lasting for or requiring treatment for more than 6 months, or any episode of major depression during the 5 years preceding screening.
10. History of recurrent headache (e.g. tension-type, cluster or migraine) with a frequency of ≥2 episodes per month on average and/or severe enough to require medical therapy, during the 5 years preceding screening.
11. Presence of clinically significant infectious disease or fever (e.g. sublingual temperature ≥38.5°C) within the 14 days prior to enrollment.
12. Evidence of acute illness within the 4 weeks prior to screening that the Investigator deems may compromise subject safety.
13. Significant inter-current disease of any type, in particular liver, renal, cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, gastrointestinal, rheumatologic, or autoimmune disease by history, physical examination, and/or laboratory studies including urinalysis.
14. Subject has a clinically significant disease or any condition or disease that might affect drug absorption, distribution or excretion (e.g. gastrectomy, diarrhoea).
15. Blood donation of any volume within 1 month before IMP administration, or participation in any research study involving blood sampling (more than 450 mL/unit of blood), or blood donation to blood bank during the 12 weeks prior to IMP administration.
16. Medical requirement for intravenous immunoglobulin or blood transfusions within 3 months prior to enrollment.

    * Abnormal T wave morphology.
    * Any other ECG abnormalities in the standard 12-lead ECG in the opinion of the Investigator will interfere with the ECG analysis.
