Part 1: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of AL-034 Following Single Dose Administration in Fasted State
Day 1: predose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours postdose

AUC is the area under the plasma concentration time curve of AL-034 in plasma following SAD administration.

Part 2: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of AL-034 Following Repeated Dose Administration
Days 1, 22, and 29: predose, and 0.5, 1, 2, and 12 hours postdose

AUC is the area under the plasma concentration time curve of AL-034 in plasma following MAD administration.

Part 1: AL-034 Concentration in Urine Following a Single Dose Administration

ArmTypeDescription
Part 1: Single Ascending Dose (SAD)EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive single oral dose of AL-034 (oral solution) (the starting dose in Cohort 1 of Part 1 will be 0.2 milligram \[mg\]) or matching placebo under fasted condition (Cohorts 1 to 5 or optional Cohort 7) on Day 1. Participants may receive AL-034 in a fed state (Cohort 6) to evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AL-034.
Part 2: Multiple-Dose Administration (MAD)EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive multiple oral doses of AL-034 or matching placebo for 4 consecutive weeks either once weekly (Qwk - for 4 doses) or every two weeks (Q2wk - for 3 doses) under fed or fasted conditions. The starting dose for Part 2 will be determined based on the initial PK and safety/tolerability data from Part 1.
