What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive-design, single-site study, involving dose exploration cohorts.

During dose escalation, up to 4 cohorts, each consisting of up to 14 healthy adult (18-75 years, inclusive) study participants, will be randomly allocated to receive either FZ002 (n=12) or placebo (n=2). Dose escalation is designed to begin with the first cohort (Cohort 1) evaluating the lowest proposed dose of study product (1 capsules taken daily for 28 consecutive days). The first 3 participants will serve as sentinels and randomized in 2:1 ratio (FZ200: placebo). After review of the sentinel participants' data by the PSRT, the remaining participants (n=11) in the cohort will be randomly allocated in a 10:1 ratio (FZ002: placebo).

The primary objective is to evaluate safety and clinical tolerability of oral doses of FZ002 or placebo when taken for up to 28 days.
