1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: WP1066Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
There will be 5 groups based on the enrollment timing. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level of WP1066. Each subject within a group will receive an assigned dose of the investigational drug. The dose levels are 4, 6, 8 and 16 mg/kg of the investigational drug given twice a day. The first group will receive the lowest dose level, 4mg/kg twice a day, and subsequent groups will escalate to the next higher dose level. All groups will be treated identically, except for the dose of drug administered, with the liquid formulation of the drug.
