A Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of SRT2104 in Normal Healthy Male Volunteers

SRT2104 (0.03, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 g/day) will be supplied as a powder which will be prepared by the Pharmacist/designee into a liquid suspension. The dosing vehicle is 1% (by weight) hypromellose acetate succinate in water, which is used as a suspension aid and a dispersant for the SRT2104. Test material will be administered orally, in a single dose and subsequently, once daily for seven consecutive days. A trained staff member will prepare individual solutions of test material that the subject will drink once daily in the clinic following a 10-hour (minimum) fast.

Placebo (at the matched dosage as SRT2104) will be supplied as a powder which will be prepared by the Pharmacist/designee into a liquid suspension. Placebo will consist of titanium dioxide USP and prepared for oral administration identically to the SRT2104 investigational product. Test material will be administered orally, in a single dose and subsequently, once daily for seven consecutive days. The subjects enrolled will be blinded to treatment assignment. A trained staff member will prepare individual solutions of test material that the subject will drink once daily in the clinic following a 10-hour (minimum) fast.
