A Study of AL-034 to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Doses in Healthy Participants

This is a Phase 1 first-in-human (FIH) study evaluating single and multiple dose administration of AL-034 in healthy adult participants. The aim is to examine the safety (including pharmacodynamic \[PD\] biomarker assessments), tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of increasing single ascending doses (SADs) (Part 1) and multiple ascending doses (MADs) (Part 2) of AL-034. The potential food effect will be investigated in healthy adult participants at one or optionally 2 single dose level(s).

INCLUSION CRITERIA Each potential participant must satisfy all of the following criteria to be enrolled in the study

* participant must be a man or a woman between 18 and 55 years of age, extremes included
* Female participant must be of non-childbearing potential, defined as: a) Postmenopausal: A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical explanation. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level (greater than \[\>\]40 international unit per liter \[IU/L\] or milli international unit per milliliter \[mIU/mL\]) in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy.

* Participants must have a normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) (based on the mean value of the triplicate parameters) at screening including: a) Normal sinus rhythm (heart rate between 50 and 100 beats per minute \[bpm\], extremes included); b) QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) less than or equal to (\<=)450 millisecond (ms) (Fridericia 1920); c) QRS interval less than (\<)120 ms; d) PR interval \<=200 ms; e) ECG morphology consistent with healthy cardiac conduction and function. Any evidence of heart block is exclusionary. Any evidence of left or right bundle branch block is exclusionary Note: Retesting for abnormal QTc interval value that may lead to exclusion will be allowed once without prior approval from the Sponsor. Retesting may take place during an unscheduled visit in the screening phase. Participants with a normal value at retest may be included
* Participants must be healthy on the basis of a medical evaluation that reveals the absence of any clinically relevant abnormality and includes a physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and the results of blood chemistry, blood coagulation and hematology tests, and a urinalysis performed at screening
* Participant must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in Prohibitions and Restrictions section
* In the Investigator's opinion, the participant is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements, instructions, and study restrictions and is likely to complete the study as planned
* Participant must sign a separate if he or she agrees to provide an optional deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample for research. Refusal to give consent for the optional DNA research sample does not exclude a participant from participation in the study

EXCLUSION CRITERIA Any potential participant who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study

* Participants with a past history of cardiac arrhythmias (for example, extrasystoli, tachycardia at rest), history of risk factors for Torsade de Pointes syndrome (for example, hypokalemia, family history of long QT Syndrome) or history or other clinical evidence of significant or unstable cardiac disease (for example, angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, diastolic dysfunction, significant arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, and/or clinically significant ECG abnormalities), moderate to severe valvular disease or uncontrolled hypertension at screening. Any evidence of heart block or bundle branch block is also exclusionary
* Participants with any current or previous illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk in administering study drug to the participant or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol specified assessments. This may include but is not limited to renal dysfunction (estimated creatinine clearance below 60 milliliter per minute \[mL/min\] at screening, calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease \[MDRD\] formula \[Poggio 2005\]), significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal (such as significant diarrhea, gastric stasis, or constipation that in the Investigator's opinion could influence drug absorption or bioavailability), endocrine, neurologic, ophthalmic, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, neoplastic, or metabolic disturbances. Any condition possibly affecting drug absorption (for example, gastrectomy or other significant gastrointestinal tract surgery, such as gastroenterostomy, small bowel resection, or active enterostomy) will also lead to exclusion
* Participants with any history of clinically significant skin disease such as, but not limited to, dermatitis, eczema, drug rash, psoriasis, food allergy, and urticaria
* Participants with a history of clinically significant drug allergy such as, but not limited to, sulfonamides and penicillins, or drug allergy witnessed in previous studies with experimental drugs
* Participants with a history or current evidence of use of alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, recreational or narcotic drug use within the past 1 year, which in the Investigator's opinion would compromise Participant's safety and/or compliance with the study procedures
