About

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PHP-303 in otherwise healthy overweight or obese volunteer subjects. Within each ascending dose cohort, subjects will be randomized in a 4:1 ratio to receive PHP-303 or placebo. The primary objective is to establish the safety and tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of orally-administered PHP-303.
