Brief summary: The study comprises three parts: single ascending dose (SAD) studies of CX2101A tablets at 40 mg, 100 mg, and 160 mg; a relative bioavailability (BA) study comparing single-dose administration of 100 mg CX2101A tablets and enteric-coated tablets; and a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study of CX2101A tablets. The BA study (100 mg) is integrated into the SAD study(Nested within the SAD protocol to optimize resource utilization).

Detailed description: 1. Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Design All studies are conducted under standardized fasting conditions to eliminate food interference Blinding is maintained throughout the entire study period for both subjects and investigators
2. Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Study Dose Groups: 40 mg, 100 mg, 160 mg (3 cohorts) Subject Allocation: 10 subjects/cohort (8 CX2101A + 2 placebo)

   Integration with BA Study:

   The 100 mg cohort will serve as the reference for bioavailability evaluation Subjects completing SAD phase will proceed to receive enteric-coated formulations
3. Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) Study Dose Groups: Same 40 mg, 100 mg, 160 mg cohorts Subject Allocation: 10 subjects/cohort (8 CX2101A + 2 placebo) Administration Schedule: Daily dosing for 5 consecutive days Relative Bioavailability (BA) Study
4. Cohort Integration: Conducted within the 100 mg SAD group (N=10)

Treatment Sequence:

Initial single-dose administration of CX2101A tablets

≥7-day washout period (PK data-driven adjustment) Second single-dose administration of enteric-coated tablets

Subject Allocation:

CX2101A tablets group: 8 subjects (CX2101A + 8 placebo) Enteric-coated group: 8 subjects (CX2101A + 8 placebo)

3. No history of major diseases, and the results of physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram, chest X-ray examination and laboratory tests during the screening period are normal, or although slightly beyond the normal reference value range, they are judged by the investigator to have no clinical significance.
4. The subject should be able to maintain good communication with the investigator, comply with various requirements of the clinical trial, and voluntarily sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Diseases with abnormal clinical manifestations that occurred before screening or are currently occurring and need to be excluded, including but not limited to those in the nervous/mental system, respiratory system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, digestive system (any history of gastrointestinal diseases that affect drug absorption), hematological and lymphatic system, urinary system, endocrine system, and immune system.
2. Acute diseases that occurred from the screening stage to before the first administration of the investigational medicinal product and are judged by the investigator to possibly affect the research results.
3. Subjects who cannot tolerate intravenous puncture or those with a history of syncope judged by the investigator to be of clinical significance.
4. Subjects with difficulty in swallowing.
5. Subjects who are judged by the investigator to possibly or definitely have an allergic reaction to the investigational drug (including similar drugs), or any of its excipients; or subjects with an allergic constitution judged by the investigator to be of clinical significance (a history of severe allergies to multiple drugs and foods) or a history of allergic diseases.
6. Subjects who have undergone surgery before screening and are judged by the investigator to possibly affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the drug, or subjects with severe surgical sequelae, or subjects who plan to undergo surgery during the study period.
7. Subjects who donated blood or had massive blood loss (≥ 400 mL), donated ≥ 2 units of component blood, or received a blood transfusion within 3 months before screening, or those who plan to donate blood during the trial.
