Brief summary: This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating single- and multiple-oral doses of cilofexor, and characterize the single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of cilofexor. The study will be conducted in 3 parts (Part A, Part B, and Part C). Participants will receive either cilofexor or cilofexor placebo.

Part A will proceed in 4 prespecified staggered cohorts. Within each cohort, the cumulative, blinded safety data will be evaluated for dose escalation from single-dose (Period 1) to multiple-dose (Period 2). Based on the available safety, pharmacokinetics, and/or pharmacodynamics (PD) data from cohorts in Part A and Part C (if applicable), total daily doses and frequency of dosing will be chosen for the cohorts in Part B. Parts B and C will consist of adaptive cohorts and may be initiated in parallel. Part B cohorts may be initiated in parallel with cohorts in Part A if the total dose under evaluation is at or below a dose already evaluated.

This study is partially blinded (no one is blinded on Day -1).


Eligibility criteria: Key Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy male and non-pregnant, non-lactating female volunteers
* Body mass index (BMI) 19 ≤ BMI ≤ 30 kg/m\^2
* Normal 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or one with abnormalities that are considered clinically insignificant by the investigator
* Normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation ≥ 80 mL/min)
* No significant medical history, and in good general health as determined by the investigator at screening evaluation performed no more than 28 days prior to the scheduled first dose.
