Intervention model description: Part 1 was a two-way crossover design, followed by two sequential ascending dose periods. Part 2 was designed to be a multiple ascending dose design.
Primary purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE

Brief summary: Part 1 of the study evaluates the safety and tolerability as well as pharmacokinetic properties of a single oral dose of BOS172767 enantiomer E1 and BOS172767 enantiomer E2 following administration to healthy participants. Part 2 of the study was to be conducted to assess the safety and tolerability as well as pharmacokinetic properties of one selected enantiomer (BOS172767-Ex) following multiple ascending doses over 14 days of dosing in healthy participants.

Detailed description: The study design of Part 1 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, single-dose, two-way crossover, followed by two sequential ascending dose periods in 12 healthy participants.

Part 2 was designed to be a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized multiple ascending dose (MAD) study in 36 healthy participants (12 per study cohort).

Part 2 was to progress following completion of Part 1, but was not conducted.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy males or healthy females of non-childbearing potential
* Age 18 to 50 years at the time of signing informed consent
* Body mass index (BMI) of 18.0 to 32.0 kilograms per meters squared (kg/m\^2) as measured at screening
* Must have been willing and able to communicate and participate in the whole study
* Must have provided written informed consent
* Must have agreed to adhere to the contraception requirements for this study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants who received any investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a clinical research study within the 90 days prior to Day 1
* Participants who were study site employees, or immediate family members of a study site or sponsor employee
* Participants who had previously been enrolled and dosed in this study. Participants who had taken part in Part 1 were not permitted to take part in Part 2. Participants who had taken part in study QCL118174/BOS172767-01 (NCT03464058) were allowed to participate in this study.
* History of any drug or alcohol abuse in the past 2 years
* Regular alcohol consumption in males \>21 units per week and females \>14 units per week (1 unit = 1/2 pint beer, or a 25 milliliter \[mL\] shot of 40% spirit, 1.5 to 2 Units = 125 mL glass of wine, depending on type)
* A confirmed positive alcohol breath test at screening or admission
* Current smokers and those who had smoked within the last 6 months. A confirmed breath carbon monoxide reading of greater than 20 parts per million (ppm) at screening or admission.
* Current users of e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement products and those who had used these products within the last 6 months
* Females of childbearing potential including those who were pregnant or lactating (all female participants must have had a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and had a negative urine pregnancy test at all other time points). A woman was considered of childbearing potential unless she was permanently sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy) or was postmenopausal (had no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause and a serum follicle-stimulating hormone \[FSH\] concentration ≥40 International Units per Liter \[IU/L\])
* Participants who did not have suitable veins for multiple venepunctures/cannulation as assessed by the investigator or delegate at screening
* Clinically significant abnormal clinical chemistry, haematology, or urinalysis as judged by the investigator. Participants with Gilbert's Syndrome were not allowed.
* Participants with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening (Part 1 and Part 2) or Day -1 (Part 2 only)
* Confirmed positive drugs of abuse test result
* Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) results
* Evidence of renal impairment at screening, as indicated by an estimated creatinine clearance (CLcr) of \<70 milliliters per minute (mL/min) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
* History of clinically significant cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, chronic respiratory, or gastrointestinal disease (including gall stones and/or cholecystectomy), or neurological or psychiatric disorder, as judged by the investigator
* Serious adverse reaction or serious hypersensitivity to any drug or the IMP excipients
* Presence or history of clinically significant allergy requiring treatment, as judged by the investigator. Hay fever was allowed unless it was active.
* Donation or loss of greater than 400 mL of blood within the previous 3 months
* Participants who were taking, or had taken, any prescribed or over-the-counter drug (other than 4 grams of paracetamol per day and/or hormone replacement therapy \[HRT\]) or herbal remedies in the 14 days before IMP administration. Exceptions may have applied on a case by case basis, if considered not to have interfered with the objectives of the study, as determined by the principal investigator.
* Participants who had any ongoing fungal infections (stable toe nail onchomycosis was allowed)
* Failure to satisfy the investigator of fitness to participate for any other reason
