Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics of NIOCH-14 in Volunteers Aged 18-50 Years

Summary

The Aim: To study safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NIOCH-14 when administered orally using a set of clinical and laboratory-instrumental methods. The research tasks are to: * to assess the safety and tolerability of different single doses of the drug; * to assess the safety and tolerability of different repeated doses of the drug; * to study pharmacokinetics of single and repeated administration of the drug; * to assess the data on safety and tolerability to select the optimal drug dosing schedule to resolve the issue of conducting phase II clinical trial in an expanded cohort of volunteers.
