Overview
The study will consist of three parts: a single-dose ascending (SAD) phase (Part A) enrolling a total of five ~ six cohorts of healthy participants, a multiple-dose ascending (MAD) phase (Part B) enrolling 3 cohorts of healthy participants, and a food effect study (Part C).
Description
This study is a single-center, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial. Healthy subjects will receive single- and multiple-dose administration through oral of different doses of QG101-23-0 capsules to evaluate its safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics profile.

the study restrictions.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects will be excluded from the study if they satisfy any of the following criteria at
the Screening visit and Check-in unless otherwise stated:

hepatic, renal, haematological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal,
neurological, respiratory, endocrine, or psychiatric disorder, acute or chronic
infectious diseases and malignancies, as determined by the Investigator (or designee).

bleeding requiring treatment, or thromboembolism; or currently have any disease that
can cause bleeding (including coagulation disorder, thrombocytopenia [platelet count <
150×109/L] and prothrombin time-international normalised ratio > 1.5);
3. Acute and chronic liver disease or serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine
aminotransferase (ALT) ≥ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal at Screening or Check-in;
4. History of acute and chronic kidney disease including acute and chronic renal
insufficiency. Or impaired renal function defined by creatinine clearance (calculated
using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) < 90 mL/min at Screening or Check-in; See Appendix
3 Formulas Used in the Study.
5. Abnormal blood pressure (defined as systolic blood pressure > 145 mmHg or < 90 mmHg,
diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg or < 50 mmHg) at Screening or Check-in;
6. History of clinically significant hypersensitivity, any intolerance, or any
anaphylaxis to any drug compound including any components of the study drug capsules,
such as lactose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, food, or other
substance, unless approved by the Investigator (or designee).
7. Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab),
and/or positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test at Screening. Participants
with previously treated HCV and hence HCV Ab positive may be included if a subsequent
HCV RNA test is negative.
8. Any of the following on the ECG at Screening and Check-in (Day -1).
1. ECG is abnormal and clinically significant, or the corrected QTc interval (QTc is
calculated by Fridericia correction formula: QTc = QT/ [RR ^ 0.33]) > 450 msec
(male) or > 470 msec (female) is confirmed by repeat measurement at least two
times. See Appendix 3 Formulas Used in the Study.
2. QRS duration > 120 msec, confirmed by repeat measurement at least two times.
3. PR interval > 220 msec, confirmed by repeat measurement at least two times.
4. Findings which would make QTc measurements difficult or QTc data uninterpretable.
5. History of additional risk factors for torsades de pointes (e.g., heart failure,
hypokalaemia, family history of long QT syndrome).
6. Abnormal QRS or ST segment indicates a clinically significant abnormality of
myocardia, e.g., cardiomyopathy, cardiac ischaemia or myocardial infarction, etc.

strength beer [2.7%], 100 mL wine or 30 mL shot of 40% spirit). A positive alcohol
