Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
To evaluate differences in brain and/or brain structure lithium PK relative to plasma PK for AL001 capsule compared to a lithium carbonate capsule.
From time zero to the end of the 24 hour 3-dose interval at steady state.

Brain (and brain structures)-to-plasma ratios between AL001 and lithium carbonate for steady-state PK measures/ parameters.

To characterize AL001 lithium PK under the conditions of this study
From time zero to the end of the 24 hour 3-dose interval at steady state.

Plasma AUCtau ss = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the end of the 24-hour 3-dose interval at steady-state

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AL001 under multiple-dose, steady-state conditions in subjects with bipolar I disorder diagnosis under the conditions of this study.
From enrollment to end of follow-up period at Day 42(P2)

Proportion of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AL001 under multiple-dose, steady-state conditions in healthy adult subjects under the conditions of this study.
From enrollment to end of follow-up period at Day 42

Proportion of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events

Number of Participants With Serious AEs, TEAEs That Lead to Premature Discontinuation, Abnormal Laboratory Test Results, Abnormal ECG Readings.
42 days with a 14-day treatment period

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AL001 in healthy subjects and patients with adverse event(s), AD, descriptive statistics will be presented by treatment group for each cohort and overall, for the following: Proportion of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) * Proportion of participants with serious AEs * Proportion of participants with TEAEs that lead to premature discontinuation * Proportion of participants with abnormal values for each safety laboratory test (change from baseline) * Proportion of participants with abnormal values for each Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameter (change from baseline in standard 12-lead ECG parameters) For all analyses, placebo-treated subjects from each Cohort were combined (pooled) to provide a composite placebo group for all comparisons. Adverse event profiles for all treated subjects were benign as were placebo-treated subjects. No further statistical analyses were therefore appropriate.

Secondary Endpoints
To characterize AL001 salicylic acid PK under the conditions of this study
From time zero to the end of the 24 hour 3-dose interval at steady state.
Exploring Brain Pharmacodynamics using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
From Screening (Day 1) to Day 23 (P2)
To characterized AL001 salicylate PK under the conditions of this study

Sequence 1: AL001 then lithium carbonateOTHERParticipants take 1050 mg of AL001 TID for 14 days then after a washout period, take 150 mg TID of lithium carbonate for 14 days.
Sequence 2: Lithium carbonate then AL001OTHERParticipants take 150 mg of lithium carbonate TID for 14 days, then after a washout period, take 1050 mg of AL001 TID for 14 days.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 vs. Placebo - Cohort 1EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be randomized to receive AL001. When adequate safety data are available, a review will be done for all participants to make a dose-escalation or dose and/or regimen modification decision. This will be repeated for each cohort. A total of 9 cohorts will receive 5 different dose levels of AL001 in multiple ascending doses under fasted conditions up to tolerability/safety limits. Cohort 1 will include 8 AD subjects. In this cohort, 6 active and 2 placebo AD subjects (as per randomization code) will receive the following treatment or placebo: • Cohort 1: 60% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (1890 mg AL001 daily ×14 days, given as 3 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID)
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 vs. Placebo - Cohorts 2aEXPERIMENTALThe data from the previous cohort must be deemed safe before the next sequential cohort may be enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 2a (8 healthy subjects - 4 non-elderly adults and 4 elderly adults). Per randomization, there will be 6 active and 2 placebo subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 2a: 100% 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (3150 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 5 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID).
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 vs. Placebo - Cohort 3aEXPERIMENTALThe data from the previous cohort must be deemed safe before the next sequential cohort may be enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 3 will be sub-divided into 2 cohorts: Cohort 3a (8 healthy subjects - 4 non-elderly adults and 4 elderly adults) and Cohort 3b (8 AD subjects). Per randomization, there will be 6 active and 2 placebo subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 3a and 3b: 140% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (4410 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 7 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID)
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 vs. Placebo - Cohort 4aEXPERIMENTALThe data from the previous cohort must be deemed safe before the next sequential cohort may be enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 4a (8 healthy subjects - 4 non-elderly adults and 4 elderly adults). Per randomization, there will be 6 active and 2 placebo subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 4a: 160% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (5040 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 8 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID)
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 vs. Placebo - Cohort 5aEXPERIMENTALThe data from the previous cohort must be deemed safe before the next sequential cohort may be enrolled and dosing initiated.
