Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety of a single dose of HB-2121 in adults. It will also look at how the body processes the drug. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What side effects do participants have after receiving HB-2121?
  • How much HB-2121 is in the blood over time?

Researchers will follow participants for 30 days after receiving HB-2121 to understand how the drug behaves in the body and how safe it is.

Participants will:

  • Receive one oral dose of HB-2121
  • Attend 4 in-person clinic visits for checkups, lab tests, and monitoring
  • Complete 2 remote visits that include safety lab assessments
  • Fill out a short daily questionnaire for 7 days about symptoms and health status
