Brief Summary
This Phase 1 study will evaluate a new formulation of HBW-3220 capsules in healthy adults. It will compare how much and how quickly HBW-3220 enters the bloodstream after a single 120 mg dose of the new formulation versus the previous formulation under fasting conditions, and after the new formulation is taken under fed versus fasting conditions. Twenty-one participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment sequences and will receive all three treatments during three study periods, with at least 7 days between doses. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis, and safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study and during follow-up.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of HBW-3220
Maximum observed plasma concentration of HBW-3220 will be calculated from plasma concentration-time data using noncompartmental analysis. Cmax will be compared between the new and old formulations under fasting conditions and between the fed and fasting conditions for the new formulation.
Predose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of HBW-3220
AUC0-t of HBW-3220 will be calculated from plasma concentration-time data using noncompartmental analysis. AUC0-t will be compared between the new and old formulations under fasting conditions and between the fed and fasting conditions for the new formulation.
Predose through 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of HBW-3220
AUC0-inf of HBW-3220 will be calculated from plasma concentration-time data using noncompartmental analysis. AUC0-inf will be compared between the new and old formulations under fasting conditions and between the fed and fasting conditions for the new formulation.
Predose through 72 hours after dosing in each of the three treatment periods
Study Arms (3)
Sequence A: Old Fasted - New Fasted - New Fed
EXPERIMENTALParticipants receive a single oral dose of HBW-3220 120 mg (four 30 mg capsules) in each of three treatment periods. In Period 1, participants receive the old formulation under fasting conditions. In Period 2, participants receive the new formulation under fasting conditions. In Period 3, participants receive the new formulation after a high-fat, high-calorie meal. The washout period between doses is at least 7 days.
Sequence B: New Fasted - New Fed - Old Fasted
EXPERIMENTALParticipants receive a single oral dose of HBW-3220 120 mg (four 30 mg capsules) in each of three treatment periods. In Period 1, participants receive the new formulation under fasting conditions. In Period 2, participants receive the new formulation after a high-fat, high-calorie meal. In Period 3, participants receive the old formulation under fasting conditions. The washout period between doses is at least 7 days.
Sequence C: New Fed - Old Fasted - New Fasted
EXPERIMENTALParticipants receive a single oral dose of HBW-3220 120 mg (four 30 mg capsules) in each of three treatment periods. In Period 1, participants receive the new formulation after a high-fat, high-calorie meal. In Period 2, participants receive the old formulation under fasting conditions. In Period 3, participants receive the new formulation under fasting conditions. The washout period between doses is at least 7 days.
Interventions
A single oral dose of 120 mg HBW-3220 new formulation, administered as four 30 mg capsules after a high-fat, high-calorie meal.
A single oral dose of 120 mg HBW-3220 old formulation, administered as four 30 mg capsules under fasting conditions.
A single oral dose of 120 mg HBW-3220 new formulation, administered as four 30 mg capsules under fasting conditions.
