Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - BLX-0871
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: BLX-0871 Oral Dose - Participants will receive oral BLX-0871 as a single dose (in Part 1 or 2) or once daily for 7 days (in Part 3).

Placebo comparator: Placebo to match BLX-0871 - Participants will receive an oral placebo that looks like BLX-0871 but does not contain active drug as a single dose (in Part 1 or 2) or once daily for 7 days (in Part 3).


Treatment: Drugs: BLX-0871
BLX-0871 Single or Multiple doses administered orally as a tablet

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Participants will receive matching placebo of BLX-0871 for each of the oral cohorts.
