Summary
This trial aims to test the safety, how well the drug is tolerated, and how the body processes VX-973 in healthy individuals when given either one time or multiple times.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults with a BMI of 18.0 to 32.0 kg/m^2 and weight over 50 kg, who are not able to bear children, and have not smoked for at least three months. People can't join if they've been sick with a fever or other illness that hasn't cleared up within two weeks before starting the study, or have conditions that could affect how their body handles drugs.
What is being tested?
The study tests VX-973 against a placebo in healthy participants to see how safe it is and how bodies react to different doses both one-time and over multiple doses. It looks at what the body does to the drug (pharmacokinetics) and what the drug does to the body (pharmacodynamics).
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an early-phase trial for VX-973, specific side effects aren't listed yet but generally may include reactions where the drug enters the body, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, mood swings, or any unexpected health issues.
